Rob Simpson, NHL Network & NHL.com

" Pittsburgh crowned the Stanley Cup champions on Friday the awards night is coming up later on this week joining us from. NHL dot com NHL live. In the dale -- leadoff spot as our buddy rob Simpson since all of."

" We were treated. On site and I think you're gonna get married. About floor. While. 88."

" Started it would they'll they'll turn -- the -- I don't know why it's gotta have some crazy."

" Of the art unconditional right out to dish at a training for Iran later next month so we are."

" Ata boy while it's let's start with here in Boston Peter to rally will have a press conference at noon today the Bruins will announce that they. Signed him to a multiyear contract extension my guess is the -- Julian contract extension press conference follows. Fairly soon thereafter and it probably the way things should be for the Bruins they were good team keep --"

" I think Sony that a nice job managing the cap but I mean -- bad about if you know we're next -- you've got five. That's been up by these men locked up eleven or twelve well forward locked up -- any locked up. Warriors -- average of five delegates to her out the law. I think everything in place for next season. A lot of talk about -- art. His latest crop but I think with him playing the contract you're all but die I want them playing oriented object your library here because that. If nothing else. And and it would open it like -- special stuff are. And I in the playoffs well I think you're right marks -- the -- its contract you're that it doesn't work out. You can make an ideal orbit it's of the return -- create next summer."

" If I'm putting words in your mouth correct me here but I believe the last time we talk with you. You wanted to make the case that Michael Connell. Is responsible for some of the bruins' success here is that is that correct."

" It'll actually -- where by the the next chaotic July is not -- an ominous. We're speaking about. On the air that or that series earlier playoffs and that it turned out. Think that I had mentioned the next day. It bought it has in fact it yes. Surely it's almost six strap -- actually Jeff Gordon was still there that was great chief council persons. And -- they set up in -- in exchange for a -- change. The -- it in post -- that was actually -- strapped last. The following summer. But the score out of -- and also -- that it is due out seven that was important group and they got out the following. So. There Asian militant or Michaels who's dropped along -- Miller rob hired in. -- always tired and -- those were not his it's."

" I have a hard time believing that a guy who has the job he knows he's going to have a job in the only thing holding them back was. Was it was league politics saying you can't do it until it was July 15 have a hard time believing that he is going to be here for. The foreseeable future and he's going to let let Jeff Gordon make the picks I don't buy it."

" Well -- All the legwork all the research inept that those extra out of it and were I think what happens they get it couldn't -- all -- guys that. And put it this way Michael picked up -- out -- full calendar year. Before they got rid of them so that a -- to a post seven but I don't six group that was previously issued a part of O'Connell. But gore was yet intro general manager that what you might -- the smoke at a lobby for it. He was responsible for the most part it is six eight pullout from other -- element -- animal you know."

" And specifically you're talking about the draft think about this now and remember the scenario at the draft where Peter -- rally was made to sit at the Ottawa table. He wasn't out and a -- I mean there was no contact he couldn't talk to Jeff Gordon. He couldn't go near the media this it over they they practically duct -- him to a chair I'm not how much communication that could have -- as the draft now going on."

" I can't I get surely credit even in the even -- those in it by you know Hillary -- elections -- more. -- help bring along some young it was not select group quote if they did not indicate it is up to begin. So and they're -- they're -- Peters in -- you know yet it is developing a system yet it's been placed ballot. I think extension as well as urban. Subject to buck up to an extent which it is you know like first third of whether the whether they would -- up with what he ought to reveal -- looked like it out."

" And -- did that the best team. Win the championship I mean are there other penguins clearly to you the best team in NHL."

" No absolutely not but -- up his mind that every single year certain things lead to that point that you know it breaks things don't certain way Detroit would have been their Saint Louis doesn't pop up. Against over at Hoover look -- the six spot straight would've been playing Anaheim in the first round and I think that would change -- Even my -- started to say they lost all white the last week and expert took over all white and that theory that help. Won't that have a huge paper by deciding do not think it what airline -- series after one game the next to retreat into our. And then losing seven Carolina. Expert in the third round lead Carolina in that had very little -- that just about seven game series. But aren't that great these are what got punished by the huge and by -- the -- a little -- games. It happened they were all -- throughout all of these things up and all the way. It the calling possibly could play well well that's the eleventh best -- my little bit about all of it right that's what right now he turned the banged up. Well and you know I think -- production breaks along the way."

" Look nobody's healthy by the time you get the Stanley Cup finals and I understand that but with some semblance of Al. How with the Bruins have stacked up against the Detroit Red Wings in the finals."

" I I don't know -- would have I well first I think that's birds Goetschl. And stop output got some expect up and it is just -- or check it out of a quick break out at that it is like -- is developed or -- belt which are well. Neutral -- I don't know by its target date is so there's just been Detroit's. Puck possession there -- expert who actually -- picked up on it. And made these that the right global role players but it -- died of -- blog Burt what wide release step up. -- Yeah why their stuff up that way you know merger. Playing Paraguay and was blank or by maybe we get quite young kids they're like -- that. I think we were created by a -- Even I'd like that I'm not sure they'd be right. I really looking forward that it's a botnet I think that's what might have gotten through off the bat well then we will -- the battle. But I don't know I don't know -- Detroit where there. All right now."

" Whose idea come down on. Regarding this Sidney Crosby controversy. He wasn't dared to shake hands when the Red Wings wanted him to shake hands."

" of controversy whatsoever I would stand on the right those of the other camera guys -- the photographers on the opt out of business in the carpet laid out -- oxide. And I was watching it on all public vote smoltz didn't it over there and you hear the crowd start Abu. Vote is not -- teenager all the reporters -- to article to collide then. Now in a couple of boys were little sparrow hawk the global war -- may finally -- up and Donald they're either about the technologies -- caught the turns out he was not a hard in the coach and GM about what it over there it over the in my mind I think it over -- over there. I'll start in the -- that would realize that. He also goes -- and that's just -- part that was actually was a little less Asian the most install. Most site you'd like into the Arctic -- suffering a little bit longer than that before things that it is actually break up by satellite. Right you know was a little bit. But despite all the veteran is that a idiotic. And there's the ball well it realizes that he toppled over that so I think so -- thought it -- it but it ought to."

" You talked about -- rallies management the salary cap. He's got it up problems staring him in the face he signed David Craig T do an extension. And a and a pretty eighteen friendly one is he going to be able assigned Phil Kessel. "

" Well it is certainly it shouldn't oh so helpful I mean that's certainly in the -- coming up -- the last couple years and you know. With great -- and I realized they don't want it well according to the last season scored to walk away was the biggest issues. But you know valuable commodity that -- add a little something up front and back a lot of --"

" The Ottawa papers have been beaten this -- rob about Danny heatley to Boston for Phil Kessel in Patrice Bergeron. Now I said to Michael I wouldn't do it if you put a gun to -- at what have you heard about it."

" I happen to agree on that -- They'll fact that your opponent in an excel like it if it at all sure what you're more on that fact probably have an opt out up there that very question but. I don't think you talk about. It or the other way. And it is very very difficult obviously got score. I don't know it. Does that jive with that but the question lasted. It is is start of -- well well well for what was it well -- between now like --"

" We have fire department of New York -- that falling by."
