" Welcome back Dennis and Callahan joining us on the AT&T hotline eight TNT about a three G experience from Philadelphia. Boston -- on thorn good morning John how are yeah. More. If you are traveling so you might not know the the uproar that's -- going on back here and get right to the chase is we've been talking about a for a couple days now. Bruins fan. -- Bruins fans in general certainly disappointed and upset. With Savard being lost for maybe the season and the hit by. By Matt -- but they're also upset with what appeared to the lack of response. By his teammates how would you respond to that John why did someone not have his back after got -- coal."

" that's great question I think can ask. Patrick and it's happened a topic or people knew it up on us. Couldn't -- late that figure rose spokesman -- a -- that -- here's a player Omnia on the various other response. I feel should be immediately somebody that's on various pockets. Five minutes and thirty seconds to go game I think it will warship on warships. The rules people really are out there is. It's tough -- pro -- Rectify a situation but department took it to 10000 dollar fine achievement outside a -- for coach not a suspension Arafat to the player -- so. Chance. That it's tough to do it up on a legitimate special arts. You want Cheyenne -- but I aggregate -- that happened bouts. Some turned -- us that would embarrass our petition at a restaurant."

" I can even understand the guys in front of the play who didn't see it -- that the shot was taken from behind them didn't see exactly how we ended up on the ice not responding Michael Ryder was standing almost on the Blue Line. Had of had a great look at a what -- what what you're what was your vantage point John."

" I was on the end up obviously and it happened. I was washed the puck to decided I didn't see the exact hit until -- the replay. Analysts out there Koppel there really has an idol I was once so -- as -- in the corner I think that threatens. A couple seconds late that. That part in the maturity is part of -- so. I was folks on the -- also but it's -- seven when an apartment or not you're not a."

" Given all the -- the ramifications that you said that would be potentially forthcoming if something had happened in the last five and half. Would you say that the Bruins and I guess -- industry for all your teammates if you all had to do over again you respond a little differently than you did."

" I don't guys around so. Were very upset. Actually and -- We have a departure ties here I guess and shirt I mean pretty happens let's split second then I realized rested and they're really expect sometimes not. That's Hillary Clinton really know. Exact. He -- but I know I got guys who beat Suu Kyi and Atlanta are we care about each other archer an impediment a little bit different."

" So what what can you do now show what can do to make up for now."

" How much how much can do it leaks. I -- sweeps you only does the decision I suppose not not only can do it now it's. Live in this. If it's not but it was 30 years ago where you could just go put our guys don't expect -- account of the town. And beat this I don't want to get a bigger specially heated for an excellent dirty so it's so. The games he's at that way. Like -- that -- compatible schools so arm -- the I try to cut and paste but. -- way it is now it has -- a distance. Comeback player put it about your mind and well it's I don't know whether the picture -- you can but I go to appear. Retaliation right -- people expect you speculative that it wants fortunately."

" I don't know if you heard but Cole the yesterday said -- was clean -- he said. He watched it for an hour and a half. With seven other gun which actually play the the the sound if you want -- but call Colin Campbell was asked about it. Honey Canadian radio station and had to -- them to my surprise he said no big deal and doesn't sound like they will be. Suspension but here's Colin Campbell."

" You -- do -- the cookie it was a shoulder and not even have his arm up you know underdog. Well just watch the video wanna watch it again I -- it we just -- aren't happy about any of us while."

" Before that he can send it didn't take it was. A dirty hit our intent to injure which I found amazing so that means. Cook will be -- when you meet up again on the eighteenth."

" Dialogue sure it would be an artist out to the is very similar to the Richardson on boot and I don't think there's any the standard -- there are. But I don't -- denounced. -- Back cockpit so I was sure rows up I guess decisions post doubts that thanks out of assumed it would get not. That's what against -- about a lot of us here hatteras."

" would -- the bruins' Shawn Thornton shot well what does that say about the National Hockey League that they can turn their back on an incidence that knock somebody cold. Even by the way while the general managers are getting together and discussing. Head shots and the effect is going to have a employers now and going forward and yet they are they are adamant about the fines the suspensions for revenge and retaliation was let's say about the league."

" I can search and it turned the page on the way at that game used to be important there is on balls that all our stuff so I understand it. That the stuff I mean there's I guess there's the order to bop band that I don't locally personally and that that. It's shortlist that they're technically hasn't ruled flat I guess that's what the discussed militia people. I think. Get that they don't ask and -- the players really just. I mean -- check some deeply hurt so -- and playing as hard as you can bet. Going out with intent to injure someone I think that's us up upon us. Internally and you'll get a -- different key as we think about it -- 800. Whatever guys -- can source you almost an agent. Trying to broker narcissistic hurt I don't agree here."

" So what happened with one Cody Bass ran -- a couple of years ago you jumped in right away you had no. Trepidation or hesitation. That wouldn't happen now under the new set of guidelines you think gore or would it."

" If I'm a little bit but it sent a little bit different collateral extraordinary I think. I don't take -- collect my experience there are worked out of an -- that at all iris I'm. Pretty positive positive so there's an optimal."

" will will your coach tell you believe this guy alone when you see him on the eighteenth. Will how -- something resemble anything resembled nothing you said."

" I I'm gonna assume not a set. I won't know until we get closer obviously that I think. Nowadays kind of you're when you're in the spirit that at this level -- schools know. I how to respond situation or professional you don't need to be told what to dirty apart -- pack in the minors relished the first extricate."

" Well let me ask you this on what anybody in the brutal organization. Be upset with you on the first shift. You end up with Matt -- drop the gloves and and went at it with them I know the league probably have some issues with that but would anybody in the brutal organization be upset with Shawn Thornton."

" Broad dictatorship to assume that he can get as close ought to and I don't kick it around the results are. Yet to track record those. Doing things about not -- a mop -- I think. It's a little easier said than done I -- without a problem Graham. -- legitimate products. I don't think. An -- I think you're you're just all the problems and I got it status."

" The next time mark walks into the locker room will there be some. Tension or some an easy -- because nobody seemed to come to his defense when he was down and out cold on the -- sort or do you think that's over overstated."

" I think that's a little overstated I don't saudis they set it on here at the best intentions sometimes things happen quickly and you're. Sometimes regret about -- each can change it and Bristol went well and I started -- a tech guy at all he hosts. That world this together eat a great guys saw a topic that get attention --"

" Did you think about. Get extracting revenge for what happened. To Lucic last night we saw you have some words on the ice last night."

" You are. It costs -- obviously I'm -- is they're tough they're not ours is set -- Six foot or 230 pounds and can analysts also. With the past the bombs -- all up and I don't. -- a lot but again it didn't picket. There's -- necessary ethnic that reached. Challenged him or -- there's not sure about how does a great idea which. There's a -- no load up but if you. -- get exact redshirt totally -- just forget about that -- bust. Two dozen hamsters sucks it's. There's a good fight -- two Tosca has gone on that I have a problem."

" Did you hear -- Don cherry had to say after that game. Yeah."

" Wasn't -- I thought that. A product that fight until they both -- sort of like the rest tickets are getting under the right time but I watched the fight over to see. -- well I did -- period but. To see what he was getting and I -- to -- C -- that's up there's two guys that didn't really not much defense going into fights punch each other -- a -- a good site."

" Did you hear what Mike Milbury said yesterday was asked flat out. Is this brewers team soft and he said yeah."

" And I could not hear that. Did not hear. Access to I don't articulate a certain at -- and adults -- I don't agree with some obvious that picked that. When will we ever want helped and brought up the report. What really -- usually."

" Sean can you share -- inside hockey stuff the the tone and tenor of the conversation you have local -- last night. Cleaning up of course."

" A deal and it actually was their actual liberal blue which passed him. He's -- and got Kevin page is clean at. And teaches that he could see it keeps his back turned that -- a month's run over what was due to its turnaround I was at and -- In that I was a million children are. There are so they don't -- and hope that they it was clear -- produce. Torn on this side of caution and -- I suppose are that this critically personnel and bigger and -- this much intellectual conversation they're."

" It was quite as wasn't quite as civilized. Yeah I final question for me. Does what happened. Between cook and Savard or what didn't happen. Send any kind of message or raise a red flag to the rest of the teams in the not National Hockey League about liberties they might be able to take the Boston bruins' --"

" Better not. The court record says no he's becoming under our belt and trying to push a -- palpable popular."

" or appreciate the time thanks for reset it. Thank you from Boston Bruins on Orton joining us some AT&T hotline AT&T a better three G experience. Will be right back."
