Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" You guys know that I don't mind to scrap now and I kind of liked it when guys would drop the sticks and gloves and have met each other. And this guy might have been the most popular fighter I've ever called he joins us on the line right now PJ stock PGA it's -- Michael in Boston how are."

" A guy is good morning and -- would ever. -- God's country and hockey that's enough to what was to be an."

" Now I I said Michael I'm not surprised you became the talk show host. Could you pretty much two and a talk show while you were playing any."

" Well that really played much I was I was yeah I was I watch so I would have the best seats mount is. And I had a blast of the fun time of great plays --"

" PJ how'd you get into the talk show business just tells about that process."

" I got another element in my last year and I was the -- to -- doctors and I was back home and now Montreal. And Evans we -- I -- know what I was going to be door in united won them in. The point establishment -- bar. Someone comes up and says hey you know I work at a radio station here would you mind in a pregame show for sports show them we can share and if you -- it might be here. So they've bought around that I do watch show I did the gas is don't know I divided three and out from his job so. They had -- been the last two years have been it's been a fun change it to different changes cards on it is something new. The the key silly thought I was practice you know and literally practicing it's it's a different -- new. You know I played hockey my whole life because young militantly professional that's kind of what I -- locker room that whole time -- That a lot of my expressions are locker of expression and it's part of eliminate some of the squares at -- do without radio but it's been a part transition on a couple years."

" You grew up in the province of Quebec born and Victorian bill board much are I'd I'd aren't yet a trio -- let him beat you know better than anybody. What it means up there we were talking Aaron -- yesterday and he -- after catholicism. Hockey is the next biggest religion in Montreal and I'm not adequate follow -- It's hard for people down here understand what it's like up there."

" While you cannot imagine Red Sox in Boston. It did like the Red Sox you know it's it's you know could be December and baseball season's been done for a couple of months -- yet separate and 3 January it was still out shortstop the Red Sox to adapt like appear much trouble we don't really have many other sports yeah course in Bosnia guys have. Ball 45 whatever we have now pretty big teams -- really well in Montreal we have. We don't have the NFL we have our CF -- cable -- which is a lot of people rather watch -- a couple of games so it's kind of like my big full formal disrespect to the Canadian. But I'm not a huge fan of the -- we have soccer but it Montreal again we don't have the MLS we have another burden of -- which is kind of the minors of that as well and and have a Canadians and that's signal based on up and really also Canadians in because they won so much -- they were younger so at a team. Won't loudly -- what becomes stands you know your grandparents stood nearly your father and it's been. I'm pretty addictive ever since side I grew up fall and marquis have ever worry you went everyone talked let's get involved that. And it's it's crazy up here right now I think -- people predict this team distinct myself place still. Like it always find -- wrong with the game as a mixed on. And -- other people just take -- so much start it's amazing how how these people in Montreal -- just. There that ties pilot went on to Canadians and now."

" they tell us how a team that was protected distinct. Has been able to handle the Bruins in eight games this year and last eleven overall."

" That's our top story and not put up four teams -- a lot of people bought about my experiences in Boston and and that's that we I'd like to be remembered for -- warm. Now that he don't shorten the bottom earlier enjoyed probably the most in the night club on the air guitar stuff how is kind of in Montreal plenty of people fired up so -- always you know -- both -- and somehow and someone -- bought -- the game against the Canadians. They're going to win or do well because of this and has been the year for me. This topic video equipment up Montreal -- can't win 888 -- at all of course been the last three years figured this was but. I think the problem is the they were the -- cortina are all that physical aside a couple of guys. So -- to keep that -- physical sometimes you get into that style -- hockey and instead of the improvements you know they may become a bang at first publishers such an up and a game. That kind of dies down. They -- running down game of the campaign that a lot of other teams do that. And that's tackle the Canadians want because they're mostly Europeans in the you know about a year a couple of Russians and Belarussian that they'd love that that's how it played tackle but over I mean. The other teams can't afford to have the Bruins can't afford to get into -- running that game they got to get into a defensive minded trapped -- the bodies but. It's so much easier to play that non physical game it's such a left or your body and it's so easy to forget about make those sacrifices when the other team as it. And it's easy just get into the -- that the good start for the Boston -- They -- that's success at every other team this year pretty much. -- the much arcane yet you're that are right there the cases stole sixteen points. From the Bruins and I think I think -- not many of the games even close so. Going to be a -- series and if sponsors that I I think the most important game and is tired series the first game. I think if the Bruins can somehow put a little here to some of these young kids' heads. -- especially if they still gave 180 got us here you got some exciting and Bruce brought to make it happen if they commit to -- They got manager in the season it could be --"

" I guess from what I'm reading Francis -- on a Michael Comas -- going to be out for tonight I don't think koivu was back yet from his injury did the Canadians have -- up especially on the back line to get this job done tonight."

" I think Thomas Eric amply on game time is his decision and I think Thomas -- go I think you can -- I think he's going to play and that's. You personally are fights he's playing you want -- me personally committee you know he's banged up in the attacking right away he's so important on the Atlanta anyways but it you can. They're big guy he's their big physical presence and but that would only keep switch -- to count him again at a couple times -- And get him hesitate opening that's coming a younger guys that are in the playoff -- now the building shaking and rockets. In your most your physical presences is just getting dominated by a player on another team he got to get a little scared you know basically -- bowl. So that's on the brilliance but you might want that the closer duties that I hope that Michael com's Eric in terms of physically in the body of debris and that -- to you know kind of the -- in the exact opposite so I did have a -- on the back line. I had duke Bruins 7UP on the frontline I mean that's probably compare that they Canadians. No matter if they give up four they're probably going to score five that's where it's been a year for them Metallica Carey price has been lights out. And -- to -- Thomas has been wiped out earlier most of time may have been now export that's great jobs with a -- but. No matter what every -- play against much hurricanes respect -- Timmy. If he's numbers are ridiculous saw you on it and he's got his goals against average against the stories save percentage -- you know what four goalies this year. Against the Canadians in the best save percentage was an 87 except. The best. Was an 877 and so don't know my radio short -- all."

" Or Bruins fans call this radio show they tell us how. Of the Bruins are going to win the series they point to price and say he's a rookie and maybe get rattled the playoffs are different. I tell us about price amazing is he the type of guy to keep thinking get rattled."

" Well on the table at last years of hockey he was he pulley of the year. In the junior hockey he was that he went to the world juniors on this stage probably no bigger than and there are anywhere for Canadian kids. -- you want MVP candidate won gold. In any finished year it would -- to get called up and play in the American hockey league for you have to bulldogs team that should of relief and the success in the playoffs well Kerry carried them to the championship in one MP Pierre. And then he took over RS that he backed up for the -- Canadians as some thought he was number one. To get -- a cup we have some good games a couple of not so good got games maybe one -- two bad. And they traded Chris of course you let down the stretch of golf Terry price I think they've got thirteen in two since he's played so can he do it right. I don't see why not I mean interesting thing about the team is the first time for me I think they're really faced adversity because rookie year. They have really faced that much of -- with the fact that the predictions of the abrupt the prior to keep that they are going to stick. So it if they lose oh well they'll those those comic no pressure now they're expected to win and now they're expected to do well. And now it's completely different from what you plan like the Sunday game against you know the Rangers Tuesday -- if you're here on the road of playing Boston and Thursday years it was those games don't give much thought. These games players and so prepared every case talks is going to be studied every play. It's completely different animal right now it's completely different so the fact Carey price -- waiting to really. Get him -- his -- to get bodies follow."

" PG -- what's your thoughts on Zdeno Chara and his game."

" But this show the other night first. Comeuppance CPC's Toronto right now and -- for -- and caddie to show -- that the most important person in this series leader at a Zdeno Chara. It seems that I think he's in Norris candidates anyway any other team plays against this sport -- into becomes the two of them. Zdeno Chara. I mean -- watch all 82 but -- watch a lot of boxing is it. Logged a lot of always plays a lot of physical presence varies so it's somewhat of the leader Barca on the Blue Line doesn't place in every situation. It doesn't pretty much well malls that time except for when he placed bikinis I think what happens is so big and so physical that we played much arcane they don't have any big physical guys we got two -- three little guys. That hit and they almost like doing it but it points flyer that annoying. Obscure out your ear in your he can't hit but just keeps watch not -- but that's like what he's planning it's much or Canadians couple guys hit them. The -- heard on the just bother. And and got other guys are deleted additional speed around them and it's frustrating for any gets frustrated that he tries to hit some morning I was just -- which he wants to any -- it and -- just private ridiculous here. And frustrations out and then penalties command and came on the power play score a goal and and the damage is done so he is so important in. I think he's the most important guy in this series and his focus constantly. Every place you know where wrapped in the -- the -- forget about it's just play that matters forgettable inning yet and yet it could play there it doesn't matter. Forget about doubt it's every shift yes. Go into -- even keel forget about the last when he can't get frustrated because a lot of guys are looking at him. And they all know how important is in this series that they see him get rattled and not playing well. I think he could affect in the Guttmacher."

" The PGA for what you said a few minutes ago you look at Montreal a lot and use you always find some issue that they could be a better -- up and agreed to -- so from what you said I'm guessing that you don't think they're the best team you've seen this year in the league who is."

" Spot personally I'd -- Canadians you don't want to give them you know on from Montreal -- a year trying to craps on me -- perhaps sent I'm not that sent I'm not a catch -- not a team Panama hockey and in the Montreal Canadians as much as they had a good year I think that everyone else. I had a bad year I really think I don't want to discredit much truck Canadians. But at the same time the Ottawa Senators stop the Rangers -- desperately keen on the end. A buffalo -- back terribly you know of Philadelphia have tons of injuries Boston Bruins entire team danger there's I think. I don't want this process of elimination but a lot of other teams didn't play as well as expected. And I think they Canadians mistakes even killed it really dominated the interest -- a lot of old are great power play. But I mean besides that they just -- even keel they they lost two games in a row I've -- three games the most ever lost. -- building -- I think in five girls approximate that most state. He just stayed there even keel all years by doctor the most consistent team and National Hockey League game in Detroit. I think Detroit of course can running going to get Lidstrom who there he was enormous hands down the best team overall national largely. While it's the most. It is -- have a -- this year so strong what only one in the last 22. But I you know what I really think Montreal was probably the most consistent I don't think of the best. About Detroit had the best teams in the year I just don't know either of those two teams are built for the playoffs."

" I once said of you watching you play. That your heart wrote checks that your body couldn't cash and that and that you were almost two courageous at times to do the things that you did. What was the toll. That you paid physically to play the game the way you did."

" Elation and I got beat up a lot a lot lot of -- itself. Little -- the ball and let it bounce out split national archery is keen new I mean everyone. You know why it was they was dream come true for every kid and the want I didn't have much talent and I knew that you know I'm on the my parents pretty kept keeps have a pretty grounded. No kids would give -- left -- to -- positions so might there it was just don't take advantage of it and I tried not to use -- right. I got there working hard and again it's like you have scored or or or -- or done things it would it was a hockey skill instead of the other way that I to do it. -- would've loved to but Ted and so whatever I was therefore had to try and do it however put the best sort of and it was. You know playing physical and that was the past that I was asked to do and I didn't it wasn't bad I mean it's you know I think it's a blessing in disguise that I got hurt when I got hurt I think -- in the minors. Domestic -- detail and that's he's and I got hurt like two weeks into that he's in in Taylor and -- and then 9% of the whole process eagles through I think I got out of the right time that these guys are -- And strong now and that are what's that mean Latin chicks in -- you know which -- I was -- did not play now is. Animal and every team now has a couple of guys that are just animals so. I think it was a blesses that's."

" It before let's go I gotta ask what was the origination of the PGA wave and did you ever think that the other team would considerate. Robin and an arm a little bit."

" Yeah you know I remember tell look of what's his name did the games -- supported Zach was already. Recorded match did a couple of times and and is that. And I know what happened that I got started on it and I couldn't stop it and I I knew that. It was never really people people who and I never really get it. And someone's face Everton around the player. I do chronological way and it wasn't somethin' like fist in the air patrol the bell you know all the wacky things fire my guns. -- you can do whatever you have it was just. It's funny I get in a fight negative economic it would kind of late to crafted package I'd wave and may have it was better it was it was finally replaced."

" We were we were watching YouTube this morning in the footage of the time when Byron Dafoe oh. Did the PGA wave -- bench after his fight."

" Have you know I look back and I played I played on a lot of sports teams brought opportunity in this sport I played it and -- so. Played on a lot of teams are a lot of cities quote from high school -- all lay up to two last year with the phantoms and that year at Byron the flow. Was probably my favorite moment not a moment that year dazzling moment from that year that go back and look at and say. You know music for me is is is. R I take take music architecture -- and I and lessons and I pulled back and reminiscent of from a song in this summoning memories and a half -- year. And it was sort fortunate to wade ended that we had a real special team in Billy -- are important -- are capable of running for these conference you know and it was it was a maybe while we accomplish in the years and fortunately itself that that lost the playoffs Joseph Peter it was ridiculous. But there was it was. An amazing experience in -- in eighteen year."

" PJ it's always fun to talk with the I'm not surprised you're doing well this talk shows thing a matter not a bit surprised."

" Thanks god or if you -- my -- go back for the district -- so please both put on so important tied the game is so important United States. Don't come out tonight it could be that we want."

" Will be back in touch him take him -- that. That is a PJ stock -- Boston Bruins now ice sports talk show host the Montreal got the job because somebody bottom of the that tells you enough about PJ stock -- that the -- you by the bureau"
