Our conversation with -- is sponsored by incorporate power equipment and -- a tractor visit corporate power to data into -- money saving your -- trek up -- power dot com for more. About -- Chevrolet and -- in the first place and the last place you'll leave the show operate new or used Chevrolet. Andy joins us on the AT&T hot -- AT&T. Or GL TE speeds up -- ten times faster than three GAT and T rethink possible good morning mr. Berkeley how are you. Don't fight as he was that the best team in the east last night with the best goaltender we witnessed.

At this point is he's an absolutely the king but a real good team they've bought into what the -- in. They'll be able we talked about last by the broadcasting it looked like the pros and last year they have very few holes. They compete real hard to defend real world got a great goalies and and they're often opportunistic where they can you get opportunities -- blow up.

Yet they they certainly outs they they certainly pounce on mistakes in nine Bruin turnovers there were all over those.

Yeah and in the turnovers in the mistakes of the broad debate were harshly the first I'll play gold -- pretty good you know. Decent game of the they that probably golden you know any time he it'll put all the last minute. We're talking last -- second that a period now that extensively to achieve that that's pretty defeating. Then a 44 apple approach they -- that decision cost the third period. Yup that's what degree you can only to regain control and stopping the locals. Like pushing -- real good but. -- they'll they have to be a look at apparently are also big game and until they address clothes and and get better. --

You said last on the telecast on what some clarification on this that one of the things one of the things that makes the Rangers so good is as a team they buy into the system and sacrifice. For the greater good at what the sacrifice for the greater good kind of form the ice -- that whose war it was stars' forwards diamond I mean they try to block every shot. Is -- by that.

Yes that's one example. Doesn't matter who you are aware of the hero Brian Boyle or rhetoric which if you William shooting lanes blocked shot. And do it takes Shula and deny scoring chances. About Brad Richard DC at ball four on four -- expect from the front of -- front of -- recently -- essentially play. Burying GAAP breaks -- guy a few plays a different system on a different team with a different coach maybe look at the score fifty goals but. Not the way to arrange play. If you have a coach that tells you that this the way we have to play in order to win in he has won -- Stanley Cup but he knows what it takes to win if you do you accept that and you have leadership like all right Kelly in in the and Brandon didn't eat it says this the we will not playing that sacrifice Herschel. Personal. You -- numbers in order to be a better team than that he had keep things going and dispatched a team that steps the way they play him in everybody's buying it.

And it struck me that -- the Bruins. Their best player is in net I mean then that they don't. Have a guy and I think this is a sign of a real good team brick you know but I would but. When you're not even sure sometimes what line is out there is just at all you know plan -- they're all doing their job they're all. On a blocked shots you know they're all. When they get a lead -- all get back on defense.

Well what -- is the X-Factor when this team he eats you know in the conversation. More than in the conversation that doesn't. And probably when he talked about usability of -- he's going to be in there as well he plays a different as as much as we look Tim Thomas in the years that he's had. Over the last three you know. How unique he is this -- know what courses Hussein these unique and different factions of the plate in his own bed and that is not common in the HO.

You know -- need it. You know they need they need to post some political quote on the front and just hit it on his FaceBook battle -- have the Rangers apart. That the -- country yeah.

Police say Renaissance man you saw that on 24/7 it was the -- he was jam with some band now with Jim or John McEnroe. The of GQ you think he has any it's any action in New York City that -- was --

Only if you look -- east's biggest -- of recently right now he's he played the most important position. In this city that is so critical to the success of the national likely get the -- you wanted to keep it. In the way that they play. Such an emphasis on that position -- guy eighties he's living up to it. You know he's -- in the top two as far as the president whether he wanted orbit the runner up. But a finalist. This decision here shortly -- actually didn't have to be spectacular. He's got to be real community was. But getting back -- the Bruins to achieve that needs. You know they need need to focus on the way they're playing right now it looks like Iraq and -- the Rangers -- gap between first and second the conference's -- Probably too -- here. I don't see anybody in the division Cilic in Boston. The people we get here it's February march April. For the division titles so it's probably a pretty good position to be years. It'll allows management to tailgate -- what what are we watch our identity what do we need to add to this team. In order try to make they run a serious Stanley Cup repeat so. It's not a bad but to be it is much it hurts to lose the races in to supporting and not -- that hockey team and in the top of the conference. I think it actually allows them a little bit more wiggle room to say. This is what we which add to this team and -- do it.

the short firm question -- short form question would be where has the offense gone the long form I take from Steven Harris is -- today. He points out lack of goals the setter position or hurting the Bruins. Bergeron has just two goals in his last twelve. Kelly hasn't netted a goal in ten games and just one in his last seventeen. Campbell has two in his last eighteen and crate she just one goal in the last sixteen games sounds like it's contagious at the center position.

The I don't necessary -- goals from that position but I think C news. Is that we're on what school wrote the orange offices this. Strong down the middle of the plane and that's why. Campbell I don't need a bunch of production from I just want you know momentum changing leadership -- I -- Bergeron -- that score Portugal's she's you can't find fault is he he's an awesome year. Wedge in Chile who can an option year. Played for a contract he had an unbelievable first half. It when he slotted playing with the right people he's highly effective and that the postseason last year what court not a lineup dependent. Change the dynamic of the bruins' offense but that's not an excuse. Did increasingly get a really hit defendant he needs to be a better player the -- need to scoring lines that David creature playing -- He's that good bit. That he can -- an offensive. Threatening line. And it's just not there right now and I think that is really cause problems for the offense until he -- his -- that he's playing. Along with the virtual line. The -- to continue to play really really challenging interest charge with their profits it is an outdoor that they can be.

Ever final question from week six game road trip now -- squarely in the face good thing or bad thing because as we -- call. Last February trip they went up went 70 and all on the road.

now on selection was. A really important to success of that -- I think is what -- no question about it because they have some questions in rural as far as. Who we are probably too we'd be. They believe themselves -- out about it -- character but. What builds character it in what makes you think it you have what it takes to win in the postseason how well you played the role he plays he I think it's a real portrayal. My only concern is I don't want this change sitting around waiting for something to happen this fires transaction. They need to say this that group this. It's actually was well be the real good explicitly it. No week from -- that we can make some kind of -- it all comes down to that -- will migrate out so -- this is the team that they have. As -- approach that they have to have. But I do believe it you know DP figure a little distinct going to be there will be -- checks before.

I no wonder is probably available Scott Gomez the available in a big -- Fight with his assistant coach I find this fascinating -- this is the wire the Associated Press version. The spat between Gomez and Randy. Let -- The spat continued for several minutes first in front of the other players before the men left to exchange. Words in a corner. And then continued off the ice several minutes a player and a coach that sounds like quite a battle that they just patched things up and think the ice and and everything's okay or does it help. Some way help the Canadians.

Well. The -- this tree to Montreal was a disaster in the world. Affected -- in -- acknowledge though in being. Almost totally unproductive. But shoes and lettuce or who. We're in we will play at all when I was playing botulism. Cartridge. You have lunch bill no nonsense. Hillary becoming worse as the head coach and a lame duck coach can imagine what that kind of atmosphere is gonna be they needed people that speak French. The problems they have in Montreal. You know but the overriding factors that money that dispute -- Gomez and the fact that these. He's just -- one dimensional player who's gonna complain that dimension. And now he's got to attitude practices that adjust to what should news is just it's. It's so wrong right now Montreal and in the players such in the wrong position in the coached try to make its point. It's just that it so bad right now imagine. You know how they can turn this thing around with a play that they can't --

last time I've played the Bruins tonight traded their guys in the middle of the second period. Canadians O'Leary it was a Canadian journalist right so that could happen again tonight.

Yeah eight species such a bad bad bad atmosphere -- Montreal and they're not that I feel.

Bricks and I assume you're not a Montreal your next game is Friday night Winnipeg -- are Montreal.

Oh yeah oh yeah we have traveled to -- living -- road trip and that we had to come to Montreal in order photos all -- when it.
