Andrew Raycroft on the Bruins goalie rotation going forward
I gotta tell you he’s got to love his intro no no no this intro for Razer is now almost morphing into like Chandler Jones did it no sounds great 11:26 our guy Andrew Razer rcraft with us on the Harbor one hotline do you think it’s uh do you
Think it’s gone down the road of uh a Chandler Jones song you’re open there uh Razer or or are you vibing to it as only your Canadian ass could I VI for the start with that that we keep adding on it’s going to be like the whole segment is just those highlights
You know what you know here’s what I’ll do next week okay next week uh I will personally a Chandler Jones your open I will personally create my own open for you okay next Friday at 11:20 yeah 11:25 yeah razer’s got another speaking engagement at the uh hands come again no
You’re gonna love it Razer you’re gonna love it this he loves all my stuff he’s like a he’s like he’s the best guest ever even the stupid things I say you know he doesn’t hold me hold it against me and he laughs at all my jokes he’s a great friend best friends Thunder
Buddies he left he’s not even there anymore you know what I think he might have dropped hold on wait hold on wait Razer oh we got you there you go did you hear any of that all of it oh we can’t hear you oh hang on we’re gonna hold on we’ll put
Him on hold because it’s breaking up a little bit so he might have been saying something and reacting completely to your uh yeah uh uh Billy or Nick if we can check Razer he was kind of breaking up a little bit there it might have been
Okay he dropped so we clearly hit a bad area with h with Razer um he’s calling back don’t don’t go to Mark just I mean no because Raaz will be uh back in a uh Raaz will be back in a m just pull a Chandler Jones
Hockey talk uh intro like I’ll you know have my kids help me with it and uh you know the person that you really just p a bunch of work on to was Nick no no I’m going to give it to him done no you’re not oh wait you’re I’m going to do it
Myself you’re going to do this live no no no I’m going to record it over like I’m going to like I’m going to record on your iPhone yeah I’m going to get cre it yes I’m going to have like I’m going to have some beats in the back I cannot
Wait for this well how hard could it be well because I understand that you know technologically you are functional you missed what I said though what you right then so I’m going to have my kids help me with it oh that’s cheating no why is that cheating I have Nick help me with
Stuff well he’s paid to well okay and my kid gets to live in the house for free and I feed them and I drive them around and uh you know get them you couldn’t get them to help you set up something the other day we heard about it this
Morning and that’s a little unfair hey I didn’t wrap that’s different though hey kid I didn’t WAP the Rascal so you’re gonna have to help Dad here yeah Absolutely all right razer’s back here we go now we can get in now we can get into a hockey talk with our guy Andrew raycroft uh last night’s 5-2 win uh I thought the third period uh really kind of stood out for the Bruins in a good
Way what did you make of the final stanza of last night’s game uh they locked it down last night uh really impress like I had to double check that col like I know Colorado is great and they have a bunch of players and then I I was thinking maybe been losing games
Or maybe they have 61 points like these guys are the top of the league and the Bruins made them look pedestrian in the third period especially last night the um they jumped on them early let up a little bit maybe late in the second Colorado had a push but but they locked
It down in the third and after all the talk of blowing leads a little bit earlier in the season uh they put they put it to rest last night anyways so uh so Swan’s been getting a lot of love allstar game you know backto back like
Like what I don’t know how many games in a row he started um I even think like during the I think during The Telecast they were talking about his parents and how happy they are for him getting all these reps but now that olar’s basically back how does does anything
Change I don’t think so no I I don’t think anything changes so back to the old rotation then I guess is my point yeah back back to the old rotation I would be interested to see if they go with maybe they go like a two game on
Two game off rotation um maybe they go rotation rotation and then one week they pick one guy to play three in a row and then the next guy plays three in a row I they might change that up but but I think at the end of the season if
Everyone stays healthy you’re going to see that they’ve played the same amount of games still between now and and the playoffs I think it just it works um it it work and the other thing too guys right the reason why it works now for
Swan to play six in a row is because he hasn’t had to do it four times already this season so he has lots of energy if he needs to go in and play six and lenus last season when he had to go play 10 in
A row he had lots of energy and knew that he wouldn’t have to do it the entire season so these guys can do it over a shorter period of time it’s when you look into playing 60 games at that level in this league that’s that’s when
It gets difficult so um I the rotation will go back and it might not be one and one it might be two- two but but I would suspect at the end of the season barring injur they’re going to both have played 20 games by the end of the season from here
On out so under normal circumstances Razer like um how how many reps how many games should a starting goalie get like with no if you’re because I feel like this is a you know an outlier what the Bruins are doing it it is a bit of an outlier in
That it’s it’s a 4141 split essentially um of course there’s going to be you know I think allmar got to 48 last season because of the injuries could be the same for SW I think ideally the teams are looking for a 52 and 30 uh that would be you know if you had
A starter and you had a good backup you would probably get into that range uh where the backups playing 25 to 30 starts and really no less than that because if you start creeping into 60 with the way the game’s played now with the schedule the way it is with the
Travel and just what’s expected from a goenda you’re you’re you’re pushing the the exhaustion limit our guy Andrew raycroft of nest and Wei with us on the Harbor one hotline he’s with us every Friday breaking down the Bruins a second appearance for Razer this week because
Of course all hell broke loose down in Foxboro last week hey uh Razer I want to ask you about Jake the Brusque and help me with this quote uh after the game he said I just feel like my feet are in a good position right now and that goes
Hand in hand with everything in the game help me as a neoy understand what he’s talking about well I think I I think it’s it’s his feet are moving and he’s getting to the pl the spots on the ice where uh where the puck is I think at at times over his
Career um Jake’s really fast he can skate around he’s got he’s got great skills I think at times he was where the puck wasn’t or he was a split second late and I think what we see and what we’ve seen basically since the holiday vacation is he’s gotten his game to a
Place where he’s reading it extremely well he’s he’s he’s second and third effort right there’s always a second and third effort with Jak to bruss when you bring that up and when he’s there and doing that and getting his feet to the right spot he he’s a really effective
Player last night he was awesome his 200 foot game he made two or three amazing defensive plays like amazing like like Patrice berson would make right like where you’d be like wow that was a great defensive play um not just a simple back check like real solid effort plays and
It’s no coincidence guys that when when Jake the bruss scores and plays well this Bruins team wins and and he’s that complimentary Game Changer that that they need to go on a long run like he sucks me in and I’m like wow this guy can really be something and then there’s
Like periods where he disappears and it’s like he the brus is maddening Razer because I mean to think about it like Jake freaking debrusk and Razer you make comp of a hey that’s a Patrice berson type play now I get it that he’s not going to be a Hockey Hall of Famer but
It’s like damn the brusk are you going to give a consistent year can you really tap into that potential because there are times where it seems like there’s a big ceiling there and then there are times where it’s like I get him off the damn ice yeah there is and
And um I I think I think part of that problem right the part of the problem is there’s two things with that one is it’s really hard to do that every single night in the National Hockey League it’s it’s really really hard and we’ve been spoiled we are spoiled to watch Brad
Marshon and Patrice berson do it every single night and we think that that’s the norm and that that’s the way it should be but but you guys know like there everybody in the NFL can have a great practice can have a great game it’s it’s the consistency that makes you
A Hall of Famer and watching berson watching Martian I think we expect sometime for everyone else to be able to do it 82 times but there’s just times where you you don’t feel good for two weeks or you just can’t get there for two weeks of a period and that’s seven
Games in the NHL and you don’t score uh and but that’s pretty normal for most of the guys in the league uh it’s the pastx it’s the Marans it’s the bers runs that that doesn’t happen to so I think in that respect Jake kind of gets the short
End of the stick sometimes and that we expect him to do it every night but it’s really hard to do it 82 times yeah I feel like Holm is like was somewhat in that category in a way where you know he wasn’t really playing well but I feel
Like he’s kind of turned it up at least lately what your thoughts on him it’s a great look for you coming through with a absolutely it’s the same it’s the same idea he’s still he plays 20 minutes every night guys he he’s a he’s a top three defenseman on any team in the
National Hockey League I think he spoiled us a little bit for the 12 game stretch that M makoy was out last season where he just absolutely took on the first guy and was like a Norris Trophy like it’s hard to do it 82 times so I think he has to Pace himself
I he’s a veteran in the league now so he recognizes where he has to Pace himself and I think last night you see it where you challenge him to play against Nate McKinnon who’s one of the best players in the world he goes with makoy and they’re lock down and and that he’s
Moving up and down the ice and that’s the other thing too is that he’s had to play a bit more of a defensive role he’s been playing with Brandon Carlo all season so they’re playing the best offensive lines all season where he goes with makoy and he knows he can go
Because makavo is going to be there to back them up so I it’s a it’s a great analogy forier and and again there there’s nights where you just can’t do everything um and very few guys can so lind’s in a great spot he’s very important for this team uh were you
Ready to break big news that Patrice berson was going to come back or did you just laugh at the reports no I was laughing in quite hard um very very very hard laughing at those reports and I mean how how Us Media people get away with just throwing stuff
Out there when basically we know what the truth is anyways to get likes is uh is something else but uh no we’re not I I feel very confident in saying we’re not going to see Patrice berson play this season so instead of uh Patrice berson rumors you choose the thirst trap
Photos to get your clicks and likes yeah oh yeah I’m a thirst trap guy and I I I don’t really still know what that means I just know it’s it’s not ideal let me let me let me see like have you ever taken a selfie of yourself with
Your shirt off while at the beach and then sent it out okay so no how about this one are you have you ever taken a picture of like a glass of scotch or a beer and said oh I’m so relaxed now are you one of those guys cuz I hate those guys no
I’m not you’re good you belong here you belong with us no food pictures no look what I’m about to eat my life’s better than yours yeah no I’m not going to try and feel anyone into thinking that my life’s better than there I worked really hard
Look I’m going to have a glass of scotch the Drone shot I’m hunting a bear oh man oh do we have his Instagram this his Instagram I’m pretty now pulled it up and uh no just real official stuff well you know what there isn’t on there you know there isn’t on

To Portugal last summer and like we get to the beach and like we have to bring these to the cape guys this is a business absolutely you can rent those suckers on the cape down Northshore Southshore it was fun that looks that really honest to
God I’m with you on this Razer let’s go rent of boogie boards too hang on can I add to this business model let’s make sure we have a couple of boats and slides for larger people you’re right cuz the one thing we don’t need is Chris shim’s big ass sliding down there and
Get falling right through and getting stuck you know what I mean I mean Billy and I are smart enough to stay away but there’ll be some du chubo who would like be pedaling along climb up there slide down that thing fall through it and then they’re a national punch I can’t believe
Portugal has this little like th those little pedaling boats with a slide and I haven’t seen one never seen one in the United States ever on a lake at a beach ever it’s amazing we literally I we ran down the as soon as we saw this the kids
And I ran down the beach to get like we couldn’t rent that thing it was the most like this is amazing love it I love it that it wasn’t the kids ran down there it was the kids and I ran down there they didn’t have to talk Dad into it
