Mike Milbury, NHL TV Analyst

Our NHL insider Mike Milbury joins us on the AT&T hotline find out what's possible with the nation's fastest mobile broadband network AT&T. Rethink possible hey Mike how it -- They'll they'll. Great thanks -- I would say the group actually I'm actually go to Lexington and Concord minute rampart -- in your group of surfers. You're gonna air I haven't it's beautiful -- there it sure meant a rip through incredibly informative and arranged all about sort have a great day the fifth graders armed. I. But we don't the couple got what Rangers who inspired some. So mosque trouble outpost or -- from or heal -- bird does. On a -- Now no. -- -- one question here regard. You should be promoted as the joker who were a lot what is surplus. And. I you're right I was one pot luck and way back when they had something to do with. The 49ers in the west it has it had to do with the mosque gets. And and and an amber struck the went with them part of our perimeter. Google. So you're expecting a big boom -- ago was a circle and the with the flaps in the. The exact same thing I thought it was -- that was -- for gold. That. -- not -- can we assume that that the hype that we saw in Boston last night for LeBron in the Celtics opener won't quite be matched but eagerly anticipating the return of Phil Kessel to the garden tomorrow night. Not it'll be fun and hear them and -- the Maple Leafs or whatever they're sharing and so it should be competitive. You're not trading on the back there and then reversed most of these strong on the blue harm the -- they caught -- up regularly so -- -- -- the score. You're gears and will not stop on the goals against so that okay but bill Bobble but at least they're they're playing with. Some vinegar and sort should be pretty good matchup. I was pretty predictable on Saturday. Tuukka Rask hasn't had played in a while he goes against the Rangers he doesn't look like he's too sharp. And that the Bruins lose that game what's the best way to handle this if if they're gonna go with two goalies all season back and forth in each of them. Starts you know roughly forty games. What's the best way to handle Tuukka. Such great question I mean it should it's it's how to handle also not just super idol stroke took him that you -- about mr. Thompson that. A good start it looks like they're gonna battle for top spot and I think. One of the things -- boycotted that court that conspired against. We're out in comments to the schedule and they go overseas -- two game they it's basically a full week off. -- late -- or an advocate for it is -- well there's no rhythm of the regular players not just the gold members but once again into the news schedule. You know I think there's plenty of room to. Let it run -- -- you're in four games in a role but if you really wanna keep the the party going in terms competition. -- what you -- in five weeks in a local one Geiger you're out much. From the other -- to bounce back and be excellent in his first start. The one thing we can say about Tim Thomas having seen him play in the early part of this season is he's obviously a different man just in terms of physical health. And as we look back on last year we can now see just how much he was affected by the bad hip. It and I saw him quoted doctors -- I'll argue play on for a variety concede the it's. It's joy at being at the plate -- it's also ovals street leaf. -- employee you know everybody that through. No injuries that come back it's it's it's really. A struggle mental struggle of the vehicle struggle would you look what -- there's. There's movement of Seoul where the focus of social but it does looks like. Andy but he would be in that situation should be to capitol ball. -- and also early in the season but are are you at the point where you can we use can convincingly say. The Bruins are past their problems of last year when they -- had problems scoring consistently in the regular season. -- Nate Morton adds to the mix. It looks like hog and -- -- -- are going to be contributors. I'm not gonna it's very yeah what what's in the so as the offensive power house. They're better -- -- department there's no question. I I know that Peter surely doing radio interview up enough I think it was Ottawa. I yesterday indicated that the they were still looking at the possibilities of sending Tyler Sagan back. Before his ten game. Limit is reached your back to junior hockey. I know he has to say stuff like that I would say there is a paid less than 1% chance they actually do it isn't there. Well -- I. -- what's going on either and I don't know what they're gonna be better than shaken what they decide they can use huge salary cap space and plot holes someone else but he's not -- on right now. But I have seen improvement. When he sport I have in there on the last name you're watching but it your -- your results and good option to speed that didn't take note. But that's flying here we'll learn lots -- summer it's a little expensive or what that meant for the team but it. I don't know he's gonna go back to junior and benefit from a the questioners the corporate America are serious front atmosphere without -- -- that -- is -- -- There are spaced out right now. Is that they have a look at the whole. I know lot of friends. And members of the media loved Johnny boy chuck got big personality lot of fun to talk to. I'll parties get a Johnny boy chuck as a player and in what do you think his absence was due to the Bruins. Clearly protected through the top floor and and that's based on an oval track record looks like you're going to be you know top four defenseman but Larry. And it'll I want a guy in the group that appeared in the you can last year what it -- rather than. Airline and now well so there -- not -- per month but there were track and -- while warm and they were seriously counting on the guide. -- a plot or. It looks like and there's people over the long term and -- more. It would seem to me that if I looked at the Bruins early on this season and tried to figure out an area of need it would be a puck moving defenseman. And that probably same for every team in the NHL. There have been some rumors out there about. Possible interest by the Bruins and -- the end goal of the Phoenix Coyotes does heat build that kind of need. Let's certainly in the category apart Catholic Church remember and I think that this appointment -- on March start he's been. Error prone and internal appalled. To shake that out I don't know he's basically going to be on the -- Eric and they're. Get some our plate -- It looks like key. Right now mean you'd have to be concerned looking at them sort it out to be looking around again we or prone gonna go all let's see it's -- -- -- I don't I'll close that means he has achieved it. Sturm has been giving this gate. Eventually those guys come back of the line up and eventually your Peter Schroeder is gonna have been -- for her for these contracts. Well I was gonna ask you real quickly about that because. There are some big decisions to be made here one of the possibilities is dealing goaltender obviously. The other is you know moving a guy like a writer back to the American Hockey League. I'm not sure what ownership with think about that but when Sturm and Savard are able to play and -- probably at least a month away from that happening. Something's gonna have to move here. Regis it's simple -- -- added up the nuclear over the cap room. And it's not. A great idea -- -- -- leader based group that. Decision router routes in and I think it's better. Go strong pressure points to try to look for the real question but he is. But these guys come back and you're rushed -- wanna play -- -- to go. You know I don't wanna -- -- Lou -- type decisions in the last month and and they want to be able to do this. On his terms that he should be out there shopper. Are you got on the list the removed from his roster because cap space I would hope cities. Export. Also very keen to buy it out. And that has resigned the fact they may have to shut them through. To problems sorted about yourself that you. At some point we can't there was not currently well what if you're over the -- -- over the cap and if you don't. Baker moved -- step and they want or. You know Mike we talked view between capitals gains last week they played on Tuesday it was before they play that Thursday game with them here. Is wonder what you think of of the match up between. Oh stretched in in Chara one no charge on all of all the time but what you think go over etched in. As has so many problems against the Bruins and specifically is that they don't turn. They're dedicated. -- shutting down the duplicated that your not all but when they. A great player like Ciara. And ethnic -- defensive coach article Julian pictured as a personal -- To get ready to go what they see people match can turn on the flip side I -- which can. What does whose government that -- Amber's what he -- -- -- -- well we. One against or on the power play an option at 230 checked in on the east during our player after the PowerPoint. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- that in that they came into the this year after -- expect last year. Unexpectedly. In the playoffs and the most natural laws are -- Not to be government shut down defensive team but at least a page some attention to -- -- -- some more balanced convert any. It looked like they were. Lacking in disciplined structure and if I were George McPhee you are gonna gonna go what they're getting there. You know -- -- -- that -- injury might have needed the NHL right now you will but they play like that are. You know a couple of last season and it's all about -- player not a team concept don't have a chemistry that there's boast not gonna win the championship the great they hoped to win. They didn't have green when they played your last week he's really more of an offensive force than he is a defenseman. I thought their back and was amassed. Out their team defense was them out so try to pointed out and that's you know couple -- saw. Upon Coke corner corner -- the -- -- of fort checked in you've seen all three defenders turn like like we. And go towards the park. And you -- op or your check picture you'll -- back to the net and then react to -- it'll ever. You will earn your on them. If you where all of that you're working your vehicle were built in your check coal. And then read the situation and pictured here on the defensive side which is between your check in front of the net so. -- -- way. Really. Poorly defensively -- -- -- what appeared to -- to be real attention to the jail and all of it. -- to offer to get them scored all candidates and say hey watch from the Blue Line back to the fall. I mean it's simple what's artwork and that is dedication and a commitment in -- hockey games along with your real. The panel they care most it's a long way that'll take all the way in a while ago. When you're playing achievement apps and tell -- the commitment through. Yeah I like your dumb as as a bag of hammers phrase about Ovechkin. So I feel like you need to give me one more colonial trivia being because I swung and missed so badly on the last. Myself. Okay. -- -- much. In terms of accuracy about the same cost as much. Why. Why would they used mosque. As opposed to right. Internet week mark. I thought okay. Our liquidate your act David night's homework assignment and -- come back with the with a pretty good report for. I'd say a Mike thanks. I can make you now know enough and Milan looked feared and -- what let me what do you think right now I mean top top yeah and they'll look at that would. Think what you think the reason rifles weren't invented yet. That's too easy. Sometimes he's he's right is that the answer I think so that's just too easy I don't I'm just Sam. I think that's it's it's it's as easy as that. I can't be. Rifled barrels I don't thing came about until the eighteen hundreds.
