" it hadn't signed Dustin Pedroia earlier this offseason. I think those. Those investments really reflect our priorities as an organization who wanna see witches. Team full of homegrown talent that. Trained in the Red Sox way your book compute the highest level for. The world championship here and there. You know it's. There's just -- sure."

" At -- Talked about sort of that we don't match Jason face before it to break Jason -- who a guy who doesn't get credited off. Variety of media. -- you know that half of last -- lets lets realize one thing right now Jason Bay post season. Hit 341. In a post season. I he had for twelve against the Angels with two home runs in five driven it in four games. And they maturity tool. NE ALCS against Tampa Bay given him overall last year 341 batting average in eleven post season games with three home runs. And -- nine driven it. Jason Barry -- eight million dollars a year nevermind this Manny stuff. Twenty million bucks this is crazy. I think the drop off from -- Jason -- is that. Were happy to have the one and only the one and only efforts I've been here."

" Hi -- How the heck are you don't agree I think it's kind of interesting here with radio and TV and I just snuck on -- you never even army -- until this and that doesn't happen known TV you you know what's going into."

" There's all kinds of spotlights following year that's true how you're -- everything all right I'm great it's wicked cold out there count on new englanders I -- dogs stuck to a fire hydrant and outside and it would want Lego but I."

" I love it I think that now you're from New Jersey yes. Originally originally but I -- a summer Obama here I grew up my goal. Life summary and means you did an kind of been doing and of course I am now I've been here for three years."

" Yeah you've been here now and Annette this col William you have they have the call it -- with a maturity to me as quite as cold but. -- growing up in New Jersey did you have. What was your like you know your big favorite sport. Football you -- a girl."

" I was out I was born and raised the Giants fans that are out and at all those games and it was fun you have the meadowlands I did who. I now that this is their brutal sometimes. Going back there now. Come after being removed for a couple years you realize just how bad it is -- is our -- well."

" You drive through the swap there's dead body blows up that are percent to. It's a best them at you know we don't get about wrapping from meters I've been to the medal is meant what course especially mentally -- that's I mean we all know that the Jersey shore. You know red bank in. And his beautiful -- objectors if that's what -- called the garden state is -- call at the garden state because of what you see when you drive down from New York through that. Northern new SSP you know right that's frightening."

" I know -- and most of the land in Newark they take the turnpike where they need to go in you really see western New Jersey our. -- the other really nice spot on the Jersey shore or town you from I'm from Mars which is in doctors about forty miles west Manhattan okay. Great area golf courses and loved growing up there at that is great."

" Yeah so you know when did you and decide a obviously now we we can't blame anybody who's from another part of the country for not being say. You know hard court committed Red Sox fans. You know. -- to -- your colleagues for whom you know went back down your. I of people from New York you have to give them the opportunity to be periods of the New York teams -- you to -- colloquial and an unfair your ball right. However we still do have that. Head to head combat. Attitude. I was four Yankee fans and for. It now for -- whatever happened you know after the year Chinese cheated their way to the Super Bowl pick and mr. epithets and you know we got all that going on in the -- their southeast there going up forever and ever and ever. About how did you fight come at a Boston that you were able to deal with -- all that. He even though maybe maybe most people to know -- from New Jersey -- you know that they're from Boston how they feel about your team's if you had a --"

" Yeah just -- I luckily had a feeder way to get to Boston I started in Providence for NBC rights counts and province so it was a little bit easier for me as far as getting used to what this was like. But when I came to Boston I had about a year and a half experience you know with Boston fans and and the way it is up peers like sure the transition was a little easier for me in that regards but. They are by far the most passionate fans have never seen an in New York you know we have we have two baseball teams of two football team -- a little bit different but here it. I did not split up here so I I love the fact that the fans are so passionate and it helps me stay on top of my game as a broadcaster because you know and as you know my you have to. And the clay out and a second."

" Absolutely you do one thing you know they'll get right on you right -- now is it true that -- and out. I don't know if this is -- there really is -- he really is such a thing as a jet fans --"

" I don't I don't know I have one throw it hot dog got me going about their. This past fall I broke down yes I drove down my photographer for the the Jets Patriots game right and we were in the -- cloud mobile you know says -- all over -- the bubble in Josh Beckett incidents are on it. Great vehicle if you distract and Boston right going into enemy territory is a whole different story wanted to be in the not a war zone I angered more words I've never heard in my like -- We came back in one -- that we expect."

" Now speaking of of of words because you know that the one thing we all know as Catherine -- viewers on lesson is that your lovely woman. Now be -- wanted this male world of well that all -- you know predominantly male world of of sports locker rooms -- Arenas football stadium. And you know there it's all guys you know -- you must get constant."

" you. You must get that we knew from the fans the band is light."

" bet is yes the fans come from time to time that's happened."

" I like water off --"

" The garden it's excited different schemes out there it's it's great there's so much energy feed off the crowd the Bruins are great product right now and it's wonderful but you do up handfuls and sure it's -- jump up behind on TV screen Rheinecker plastic weapons at."

" Downs I just want to be seen with Buchanan and it also don't have a appear to occasionally. Innovative art Massa yeah the night games are a little more challenging -- the big gains you do those those there be between periods things from is that the fifth floor yes yes."

" That fuller Greg where this across racquets yeah. So we do have the the immediate VIP section right up to our right and and fans can actually gathering in front of our studio and see us and watch -- right you'll see you know for the post game show they wait for the player they know somebody's gonna come catcher so defense usually stick around to about twenty minutes after the game."

" It's not they -- just for you if there was nobler than them because there's so you're you're very very popular and I know that because well I appreciate that -- you know the air and everybody always says good things -- I've never heard anybody say anything bad about -- which is a good thing."

" See some of the emails IDs -- the -- some how they get in in my an email box -- there are freaks out there to do a great job you really do and you get."

" Better and better every day to the point where now it's like you know nobody expects -- the perfection from. On the year and that's that's a good thing and you know coming into this market as you said that with the hardcore fans of BR. You know and I think hazel might have gone through this'll be it when she came here. Is -- as a woman you're you're going to be -- even more carefully around me that innate you know and genders right on talking about. Microscopic yes the product the putting on the your -- waiting for you to make a mistake they can say Nazi she's a woman enough that's what you gotta be right and --"

" You really do but also to realize that either are going to be mistakes and if I make a mistake alongside Mike Milbury and Mike makes a mistake it's totally different story and my -- states clarify that because they're not come right back out of here have been instigated it -- but my point being is that when you know when might. Mike co analyst or -- with me. Yeah from time to time if they make mistake it's not nearly as bad asses when I did and I now I've I've established hopefully letter level of credibility where. If I do make a mistake it's easier for me to move on and get over it whereas in her -- count on me about it right they do get on top of me."

" That's what they tell you know -- attitude to just go right five like happened happened and a you know -- made a bonus for -- TV in Hartford. I got written up in golf digest repeated idiot on a weekend house run around to -- I don't know what I had a million things conine baseball. Hockey playoffs -- just scrambling to put the highlights ago and whose self producing as well. So I get that apart right local my children received a look Bob tway he just won the whatever was the PGA again. He won it last year as. I saw I said -- to my intern -- a highlight of that is one highlight both sort of show Bob -- who wins again now. It was rained out that day and they were showing how well the no yes from the year before I even remarked to my interests and cuts were the same outfit. -- and at every show highlight on the air and of course there have been a world knows I'm an idiot. And and golf digest -- this big thing oldest guy in Hartford I'll I'll let it and look at you now would've been out to an idiot that's private to a TV. But you know yep -- people have that that view of of female broadcasters. Unfairly to a degree now early on I know there was an over you know over -- effort maybe. Two to try to equalize everything and make sure that women have an opportunity to broadcast sports as well -- kinda went wild making sure everybody got the opportunities of people just to be honest were qualified but as time goes on. You know it's still journalism and if you love sports you're going to be -- covered if you're good journalist the same -- you cover anything similar."

" Absolutely and -- it's a lot of research -- my job is a lot of behind the scenes work and because they never played the game of hockey and never played the game of football it's that much more difficult for -- understand what the players are calling through but I think in the position that I have a post. And as I'm working with these analysts it gives me an. Perspective to ask the right question right maybe because I haven't played the game I'm able to get what's out of them you know to explain it more yeah."

" So at what you've also Foxx followed it for -- I mean I never played the game hockey and I think it's pretty simple game you put the puck in the net. Then I you know two -- I know very might say there's more details than that that you have to be aware of it and they've he very well this is probably right. But to put to the you know to to the initial hockey fan and it's it's you know banging against each other and put the puck in the net is the simplification but it's not that difficult to game right but it is a great game."

" I love hockey. And it's you know learning the players in the league learning the moves that happens and why certain players played better with you know certain line mates than others. It's exciting and I know it's. It's just fun --"

" Especially this year and -- you gotta be as happy as anybody knowing that not only are your personal ratings up with the Bruins. But there's the -- entire Bruins aura is up. Whereas in years gone by real real suffered through a two we know exactly that what we're not -- on it was dreadful. The feeling you had in your stomach about what was going to. Happened with the Bruins but even if they were good team in the regular season you felt. Doomsday stuff coming down to Ian -- because that that was at this team is different people believe. That this team has a different makeup do you do you think that's accurate that they feel differently about themselves through."

" Yeah they do they definitely I can't speak for the players but I know that just in this area the the enthusiasm for the sport I was talking last night we had Jerry York on one aren't missions of course be at coach the Boston College Eagles and he was great -- What the Bruins do when they raise their level of play and they're playing great it trickles down to. College and high school and the the Peewee league that are around the area so there's there's a -- enthusiasm of the sport Agassi more Bruins now that -- You know ten and under league's been. Even oversee."

" Yeah and certainly an inspiration for. Younger hockey players to have their hometown guys beat that fun to watch and -- teaches like -- so much fun for me to watch he is such a throwback. And reminds me of what the Bruins used to feel like. I and I think that's key to this this team's history and to the the passing out of this Brewers think generation generation my ticket prices are or what's going on the last five years. This feels like old Bruins talked to me."

" excitement if it's there for I was and a benefit dinner with -- at reports restaurant task and the north and Lucic whose parent I was kind of facilitate conversation. Important and you sheets for the client dinner. And me I'm sitting right to my left and we got our dinners or put down the list is what I said this is my favorite also -- guys that looks great. Before I even had a -- I swear his hopefully god I -- while that's. Yeah it's it's a vacuum yes he's he's just you know growing Guyanese seeds that working out every game playing -- immunize them. --"

" About it now is are greater guy and world report. I'm man how great is Erica he's wonderful yet his whole family of well his his son just had his first -- a -- a couple of weeks ago for the Washington Capitals on the beat goes on yet you didn't play hockey although a lot of women to play hockey now what you did. Maintain an athletic career and I happen I direct conversations -- you over -- about this that you were. Quite the runner. Distance runner to write yes and you did cross country."

" Yup cross country indoor outdoor track for record numbers and rhetoric in track was. Why did a mile at three in the -- K then steeplechase it's no matter what other -- idea that it seems. A that this team. And it really isn't not for horse show what the hell that -- what is that. Well it's 3000 meters now seven hurdles eats. Each lap. There's five street -- at five -- slap in the water on -- the end so. Of course at NCAA is in the Big East championship everybody at the track meet gathers. At the -- just to see if I would yeah but. Which sorts of people over the hurdles in the water it is is what how big is the water come. -- It's not moving and it's a weird she could attract. Stapleton a point one line you know. I thought I completely on course you know and -- but you're telling me it's not it's a person the person. Lays a solid round and eight. It's fun. Really fun event. But it's an endurance events the first time it's only offered in the spring you know trachsel about time to get around the spring meets. You really have to build appear your endurance -- takes a lot to."

" You know -- your -- long legs didn't help you with the distance running it must've I guess on this information at. A lot of it is twelve feet twelve feet thank you kidding me. Out of all that without your the ideas to not get your feet wet ball twelve feet. It says that seven water jumps."

" Because it's seven laps writes that each lap the water. Has -- you Wikipedia and yes -- noticed that way you think now that's over there's going to have an exciting percent of the shelves at."

" studio if if you like to talk to Catherine. That we asked the only classy cause you know he's probably as you know we -- guys that there's Friday night. We just make sure that you know we understand one thing between you the audience and me. It's my -- and I don't really -- that it. -- I -- that's a 617779. Late fifties and so or -- 852550. Is the yeah is that toll free number you got a new guy over the newness and Cole he's a former major minor league pitcher yes. Said thome to bring it over ninety miles an hour in his career Ozzie Dornan SEC I."

" Angry as just over -- called they just came from doing -- with different loss to but cold calls great and he had a very good off -- again -- you do. But I just got into a discussion with cold right myself and Brendan mosque has now we're talking about -- wanted to know how. Heart you know college players are hitting the pocket Brian -- with a slap shots so don't the good about a hundred miles an hour it really hurts it's -- that violence got it. You know by baseball on the -- And -- really heard -- lost in the you might not I'm saying I have frozen pot for -- in an adult that aren't aren't you at the you know."

" The hockey players I say this about -- different every time I think they're tougher than most humans. For a lot of reasons -- time but the guys that plane moose hadn't -- loops and you know iron John it Canada. I don't give up at three you have to go out there and talk about any hockey player the National Hockey League I remembered gave tip. And the whalers I this was an unbelievable -- I saw when I was watching the way it was practice. House right next to the ice has -- optimism interviews somebody that he or somebody. And tiger Williams. The old school. Took out Fisher's slap shot and it was no more than seven feet away from. Tippett and that it went across his face and his -- you can see is no disputes Morse -- crosses face. They he did it take them off the ice. I find out its fifteenth broken nose and I said the Ron Francis said there's no -- beat that's always point goes I'll bet my house in place. I said use his nose. Because yeah it's happened before it happens outside tippy. Well I bet you my house he plays churn up with the gauze -- coming out of sinuses are probably all act restructure all right -- did he looked awful and he played the whole game. You know this little guy you know from Saskatchewan. -- we -- not play. It's a different. Mindset -- these with these hockey players. They were oblivious to pain whereas it you know. I'm not saying you know the baseball players -- what he's a rating but you know it rains and don't want to play but you don't -- guys get their face ripped up."

" And -- out there now he's got unbelievable and it's really appreciate the sport you know when you're watching you see that kind of pain that they go through and you're taking a shot up their skate and barely hobbling to get up but then their Barrett back out there on -- except it's pretty impressive."

" It has a lot it's amazing -- date and they -- just. Totally. Different breed altogether. We've got full lines can imagine that and I heard the it's -- out of so I don't know what's everybody doing it away Andy from the big show want to -- Lets you know he's huge fan of yours now because our largely had to leave it. And he said make sheets -- Catherine and I am also a fan of don't tell me. --"

" Oh yes I think -- and I get more than that. --"

" Well it tells you one thing you know intelligence that somebody out there and aside from -- and that's everybody thinks you have a great smile thing that's what that's all about let's go to Rhode Island for our first caller it's crests. In -- hi Chris and --"

" How are today hello good Dario. Not that it would prefer that Patrick Little punch out -- spot at all wonderful Patrick and mine actually mature couple did you. As you -- you Rhode Island people you bump into each other every day and say it's only. That's news. In right that's right not want to talk about the brought a little bit. You he had bought our opportunities. -- are returning and not any trade rumors of any grand."

" receiving -- going to be his deal -- is going to be okay -- and it with the team yes I wish -- ones and you know what the the you know they're going to take of course extra cost them and be very -- given what he went through last year but he is with the team now he's been skating with -- it's just a matter of time he gets his rhythm back a little bit and -- in practice that. He'll be right back out on the ice hopefully very soon. And -- and it I don't know about any trade rumors I haven't heard any. I would leads rumors about him but I I can't imagine you would mess with that back goaltender duel especially knowing that you know. Pittsburgh had two really solid goaltenders last year when all of -- cup finals to treat same thing so it seems like a trend that goaltenders and get."

" You know and that Natalie that -- but it is did the and I hear these I've heard all of you know trade him for somebody else what do you need first of all and do you want to upset. A rhythm that this team has in the goaltender rotation in the overall. -- the the competence of both those goaltenders to mess with that in any way -- performed at -- another shoot -- score tied to try to make another line the third line that -- it doesn't make any sense to -- the team is you know got the best record the National Hockey League."

" Absolutely I agree that you aren't just. And everybody calling out about the many Hernandez trade then I don't want to be personally I think they get the great. Out of the veteran goalie in the league right now and but on constitute the -- you know it."

" Yeah I think it's great and when one goaltender you know maybe isn't feeling up to that we sot Manny Fernandez had quote unquote a minor issue last weekend you know. That's another thing and it's -- anything it's like doing with the NFL like it was an issue with a minor -- Sarah and I -- you but it's great to see the give each other night off from time to time you know you're still going to get an outstanding an outstanding player between the pipes and the Bruins know yeah."

" Every time and you know if you have a little bit of a problem some of goes and gets out there and has a bad start to game. You know the guy you're going to is not a drop off the table it's like almost an equal -- is."

" At the tape Kylie we solid. -- Islanders the couple nights ago McDonald went down and at. You know that the video I had to suit up -- in the back."

" And you know what areas stated no matter how many times they stand of their and it's not going to be rip Chris thanks for the call -- go to Andruw in in south the end -- my -- with -- tap."

" I that they are they going Catherine and now Mikey is. Just want to make a couple comments and then not and edge into like after. Just what can make comment. And guys for the Bruins are now since they're going to lot of injuries I've been really impressed with some of these play but the young guys especially guys like if I'm quick. And out. Of course then that other really big guy that they just called up. Or like a guy like gossip block I was actually be going back and forced to Providence and Boston it is not a lot. And -- I really hope suitable beginning parents back he's not he's always been one of my favorite players. He's really kind of stepped up his game this year. And -- he Johnny Leslie hope really hope we get him back soon. -- do you have a question. Yeah just for captured not Catherine what's it like out working with. Mike Milbury. And not nightly basis I know that sometimes he's not there I know he also does Hockey Night in Canada. On the NHL network. And looked like working with eight prickly and the key is really challenged himself. As a number one out color commentary guys in the NHL in between does not nuts and obviously and he does versus. So is what you know I looked like working with those two guys. They really are the best of what they do."

" They certainly are injured that's a great question law I have to say they're the best at what they do and they make me. Better at what I do every night last year coming into doing the Bruins beat it was it was jumping right into it there. And those two guys really helped me out as did Gary Peterson in court close -- and Rick Middleton at the time but. Mike Milbury and and -- the best at what they do and you know -- so knowledgeable became Barry Peterson -- include -- incredibly intelligent guys I you know towards a Harvard guys I do not at all time but he's probably smarter than almost everybody it's fun because you get a different personality next -- every night so I really have to learn out of -- out of each one of them and and we've we've developed a nice chemistry in between all of us along the past year and a half percent -- can't record on."

" Clues act on me on -- me on TV. In 92 we've someone in my first shows that it over and NEC and and he was just a great guest because he's so easy -- talked to him -- guys like he's on down to earth you know. Yet he's intelligent always brilliant guy he's very smart guy I'd tell him give him my best."

" seemed not to carry on Alcee Gordon Thomas and I we got there when ball that hello bill. I didn't like -- he hands -- catch from I don't know how are you."

" I am I got married because I wanted to talk about -- can't wait for Pittsburgh to lose on mountains. So I'm married but I didn't know what can catch from this guy cheated so smooth with those guys them to look -- no great."

" I would this works really well."

" Now he -- you know she does a great job she's not you unflappable. Smooth and the transitions and and and god you know the other thing is she's very pleased to look at -- you know without all the respect the bill -- you know by and look at him as someone else's sentimental type speak to her because cap Wizards center and --"

" You know as an alternative routes -- in the lead didn't -- everything it's just where. We worked out well but I can't because I'm kids -- to Pittsburgh who's on Sunday eight Pittsburgh there are guilt."

" When I don't I wouldn't you what is the most."

" Didn't they talked about the Patriots. When Michigan talkin' about Palin incident there what they had the same now what they say bill Bennett talking about it doesn't know that there's no rivalry. Between. Them in the Ravens but don't want to look at. The Patriots is still -- for them -- and they lost to AFC championship game so the Patriots won their field it's still going to bother. Solid I -- I've been in order to you know I do whatever against somebody when."

" Whenever I get too worked up over an economic game situation. I drink alcohol I'm one about you. I don't know yet because that's what I do makes me feel better and -- you know I'd just works every time at."

" It very. I had a lot of Pittsburgh fan -- captured stick around another half -- the question of for -- of -- and a 661 sentence of -- of nine or wait fifty or 88852 by Hillary fifty as the planet Mikey show continues. My with him too much -- Big East you guys sports league. Serve back to around the program operated by Joe predictor or do you won't know all know. What they like get a lot of respect my decorum here cat yeah I don't expect -- challenges for reasons like that. -- of messages here -- we're glad to have her here and I gotta tell you. For hurdle look this hot in weather like this means she's twice as high a crack at him and this is unbelievable Weathers."

" Now it's ridiculous I hate. But like I said before it love it and hits -- it would have -- January Boston. You don't want to early seventy's you don't love to slow of the uniqueness so yeah now I love wearing winter coats and scarves and you this season for us it's if it's a fashion thing more than she's always at paying Jesus snow Angels and now. I -- a seasonal person to answer. Yeah why not --"

" And understand not having Hillary go to place like errors on where I went to briefly to a school. Ever so briefly unfortunately. You know it's it's it was Christmas two days before Christmas I left to come home in it and it was 78 we are thrown football running cut offs you know is like."

" Christmas lights on the palm trees that sits on a diet and if you're there in the summertime god forbid you have a black car you know -- you -- to -- the thing in an open it up and but it cooled down for an hour before you can sit and it. It's really really and no seasons at all really it's summer and in his semi summer -- the -- summer's summer's. I like the changes the season by -- it's. We will go to his January. You know I mean at least February is Valentine's Day in Groundhog Day in January it's like picking day at the doubt when he I don't."

" Most TV and radio. -- holidays there."

" Yes that's actually covering sports its -- is the sports keep going you know these are perfectly Christmas Day away like -- working on this. I know points at bank so they're like in the morning and already he was just making sure you're gonna sell ops oh yeah I -- the fly solo."

" I cats -- doesn't just obviously talk about the Brewers you know that's her Ers special realm that at best and she can talk about each and every sport -- she's knowledgeable sports person on all of them. She pays attention she goes to the Patriots games and covers them -- senior -- and parts of win now. Here's the one thing where. Being a woman in sports. Is a little bit different you go to -- Patriots game it's pouring rain it's 46 degrees -- out there trying to do your thing and you gotta do these. Taped or live shots right from the game and -- and you know you know you you have to be a little bit concerned about how you look but you're drenched."

" Sure there's a sometimes you can't avoid it and I mean there are some times of the baseball cap goes on. And to be honest with you the weather's not the worst -- championship teams that keep you know spraying champagne and I -- we're all Dow's been you know the baseball cap goes on now and he just pray that that mascara running now -- pretty. I she looked sadly she was crying I was just soaking wet and get their --"

" tell one number here six point seven sevens and -- fifty rated a 525850. Pete is in the car OP IP."

" He would be giving Michael or anybody gone --"

" I'm good thank doing out."

" excellent going grade maybe like. Things for you know within a couple things provoke Vietnam. -- just wanted to stay out of Freddy's been turnover and net than many had nothing -- god great thing to say about -- and how professional. And how much -- Archie was so."

" A lot of money over their collected. A now I find it best that I get that it captains course humbled she's -- talk about what experts used and everybody else the world that has its had to work with a were as were at the opportunity to males is. So nice lady in this question about that."

" For -- looking -- the big show yesterday and I think we execute brass bonanza I'd say it is. About the art from mayor talk to Gary Bettman."

" I I pray that. Yeah. Dads and kids out up and -- and it just. The head down 123."

" I you know I come from -- let you know yes and says I'm aware of other guy if they could only see you dancing right now and that."

" Rest -- well I didn't soccer is. -- I kept him like it is going to -- yet about how the Bruins you know management seems to have taken a taken notice of the reds are Patriots. Even the Celtics now and turned the other run in the organization we surely now get a bit taken -- it's -- really it's it's really great but the other -- the trickle down effect this coming toward the Bruins then. It's just -- seemed to be back to the big bad Bruins now -- are your thoughts on. Now they've kind of taken notice to the other team and out."

" Brown's ownership group and Peter -- job over the past few years and really this team you're seeing right now is pierce or seem mean these are his players finally strap it took awhile but it's a wildly he had to make it what he wanted it to be and it and that's what you're seeing right now on I think it's that. It's it's tremendous it's that it's a great testament to what they're doing with the guys I'm province as well because you to see those players being inserted into the lineup every night seamlessly."

" Oh you know people we call earlier about it is people hesitant to give the organization credit based on all the years of failure that the organization had. In supplying Bruins fans with. Ago winning franchise and winning feeling and a lot of you know let's face -- mistakes were made. But you still about what how you feel about the organization that ticket prices or else I said this earlier. This is what you've been waiting for. A team that you could get behind a team that you know had the feeling the winning a team feeling out there the same attitude there on the same page. This is what you want this is why why people pay big money to go to Bruins can't or any sporting event you pay to see winners and the organization. Has got to get credit -- not a lead change in the from the proper -- personnel would change in the attitude of the personnel absolutely. You know."

" Well but I think it's great to that you see you know cap -- great job -- surely come and gone and you know ordinary his weekly segment or whatever he does where it's I feel like you're really didn't he get in the past you know kind of afraid to the management and being a local guy going are -- up you know Reggie gets depends on board as well."

" Yeah he's been great having him on the pre -- show although I I tried every now and then to get mad at its all gonna sign Tim Thomas to -- it up a castle that. He always seems that it's coming out on the on the -- but he's great he's been. He's been very good at working with the analyst at SN and talking with all of us on of one on one basis just try to get ideas at. You know what they're thinking and then we can provide our input as well as to what we're thinking from a TV perspective so that's something we don't see a lot as well it's been angry."

" Thank speed to the call bill is next he's in North Carolina. Hello bill I built at -- got a lot yeah there."

" As that's probably a lot warmer down there for you guys about point agreed."

" I love it's heat weigh into what avenue heat away and that's -- he wins."

" Obama. I want Bostonians that obviously listen rally in outside. Moved out -- work but I let these Bruins I would that -- before. That talk about the organization to put that -- Thomas that's like claw. They need a lot this guy out on the people back to you know -- the we are we were you."

" You when he went three years ago when that -- conversation came about. Well I mean -- the point is this guy all of a sudden he's his stock has just zoomed off of the."

" Yeah and and then -- I mean come up a LO blocking. I live -- Boston sports and."

" The only thing about the broad -- really not sold on on and the organization is."

" Is they need a -- these young kids out they need to. You know. Stay your pace keep them -- the pedal on the metal keep these kids on the ice together. -- that the Patriots did you know in the back to the old Celtics -- the Celtics did last year. They need to watch the these kids up and come. You go back to --"

" Time and place for that and I know that there is some would say that a lot of this stuff is overdue. If they don't get it done and there's an escape that then you can really criticized."

" I don't know why I I agree in the same thing people back -- and then I could be way off here. Not sure because -- Went into -- craft was up with ability was playing well and they let him go I don't number remember why and then you know. The Byron -- that's probably in the name we just haven't heard it talked about in in years there. Or whatever -- when he was playing well and they let him go you know also I'd like to see them really lock up Timmy Thomas I think."

" I think they need to win another point that I have which I think would be great. And you know regular season means not until the end of."

" You know going to play out of tomorrow's game with the Burlington and Ovechkin and the -- when Edwards were to you know what I would love to see I would love to -- go and get to the final. And face -- Thornton and damnation."

" Wouldn't that be nice I think that was yeah. Doesn't want to have that game of the Stanley Cup finals are -- or run them out or Atlanta and I."

" Either way I think that would be I think -- some good retribution for you know the loyal Bruins stand that that is that knows he'd thrown you know."

" Games whereas in the matter you know they --"

" Well they they're going to get their just rewards I think this year I mean I'm not Sam McKee here to guarantee you can Stanley Cup we know I don't know -- but I tell you this I never felt. Since I've been about going to Boston covered sports since 92. And I was here in 88 when they played you know is coming out of Hartford covered the covenant covering of the Stanley Cup finals there at I haven't felt that this from the Bruins team. Ever you know as since I start watching hockey and admitted yes and also -- Just from my perspective as president. I mean every looked after has got the pleasure of cover the the Brewers every single night in and dealing with the with the players in the other teams in the press people and and the fans and you know at that -- is a different."

" Feeling I'll absolutely NRA and how that crowd increments."

" Even down here you know limited rallied to -- you know wake up I watched the hurricane Carolina Hurricanes. And the of the -- so -- they're talking about now like. This is the Bruins team now they remind them of that and Hurricanes and they won the cup I don't really agree with that at all by. Well I think the teamwork the young kids need to in need to lock him up spend the money."

" And analysts do it's time now because we could do that your about 45 years now."

" that's a young enough team where you can see this team going off into the into the future you would very few changes. You know and that's exactly young and so talented now."

" Can be like the Patriots won and you know 32 doubles and."

" You know even if we can be like the Celtics come you know nowhere and you know kind of buying a championship. You know I don't like to say that but."

" I'll take any championship from you know being bought."

" Yeah it's different more satisfying when they're home grown these -- the players have and they've been developed through the system -- and they are their guy isn't it nice to see and then they worked so well together on the -- it's such great chemistry renowned as a team and that you -- I hate to upset that and I think getting back to what he says about Tim Thomas on contact and I think -- FC. You know extension for Tim Thomas you'll probably -- a couple signings but. The bronze also have to keep in mind at that salary cap is coming down in two years if not next -- Economic crisis that born here so. That's something on the forefront of their minds as well some guys contacts are coming up a year year and a half."

" Yeah I I personally you know hockey that it has gone through some changes certainly. And I don't know if you if you heard by -- moment and -- last year were right. Revolutionized the sport at least in my mind. And what that -- is the -- as to what should be done. Suited to make hockey better -- and by the way I'm like in this so I'm not I'm not really complain and now this is more about last year. But what do you think of my of my theory if I were the commissioner of you know for more center agent goaltender at the -- go to. The thank god to -- Up to -- Terrell you don't like it."

" Not the best -- of -- he asked Aaron Award last night and it offends."

" I like Aaron Ward and have a player that would probably like -- you out of -- Anything that's going to give the talent that there."

" And change from the date and HO two league called to auction course. No never sick and had no like a struggle I I forget -- on the table until somebody realizes that you know nostradamus. It is in Whitman would."

" When you had the green hair that you came -- that's radical base could be."

" It went right through the roots -- to the brain."

" I'd like I definitely don't."

" Hello that they stereo."

" I -- I I don't observation and question and then not accurate comments I've once I'd love love the team this year about the intensity young players. How well -- played in gel together and I'm I'm wondering last year it'll -- young people up with they'd be where they are right now without -- seven game series against Montreal. In the playoffs and we eventually lost but I just saw that we know about we make it we did make it we needed -- huge -- but we get a chance. I mean how how can do really -- value that in terms of growing experience."

" Even at all as a triangle turning point may be this franchise."

" Yeah yeah attorney point door you know. Yet the turning point to get I'll stay at his back as well as you know Vietnam you all the players living up to the -- out."

" That's a very good question but that's a great point I think it was a complete turning point this franchise and the experience of those players got last year in seven games against Montreal is what. You know I feel like they have not yet dropped that level intensity they've carried it from last year's playoffs it was so great offseason and now through and it you know first half of the season so it it was. You know you can't possibly match or what kind of experience that --"

" Guys who I was shocked they lost last game I was so pumped I thought they had it you know and it was a moment where you say -- oh -- back you know at least a little bit back. To the point where I can get into watching this team next year --"

" I loved it -- about an hockey and my whole life and a friend to a somewhat luck and somewhat not and that made the playoffs even the first game second game else -- him when series start rolling. And wants to -- quality each -- I was watching the game and everything so. I just remember they cannot it's really great hopefully they can keep it up and again that's when the -- screech he can teach everything jump dealt it great series and everything's so."

" I just state that series alone make in the playoffs was was a real stepping stone all franchise's all cannot be -- of ARA out."

" You said it right -- you do a good job it may be should job Vanessa. And I start off and I've painted. Some of our guests including -- tepid. Have the delightful experience of eating and under Hanover street at ponson and no salary yes. Posit Hanover street in the north and adaptable will obviously see you there yet but I want to thank you for coming --"
