Bruins Highlights: Best of Boston’s Battle With Carolina, Brad Marchand Reaches Milestone

Welcome to Bruins overtime live presented by bi toyota.com for offers Not Seen On TV visit biot toyota.com with Billy and Razer I’m Sophia 4-1 the final over the Carolina Hurricanes for the Boston Bruins as they wrap up their six game Road Trip and guys we’ve been

Talking about I would say for the last six games before this so for this final stretch of the season the Bruins need to figure out details get some get in some good habits before they get into the playoffs and today they really had a great game that would in indicate and I

Know there’s more indicate that they looked playoff ready at least today well I think you can tack on last game too yes against Nashville and maybe even a couple of games ago against Florida overall this is becom an pretty good road trip razor um by no means when I

Say a perfect game but it was a really well executed Almost Boring Road game after the first period some PK some not great power play but overall five on five you said it heading into the thir keep it five on five they did he really executed little things well in this game

Defensive support getting pucks out taking some icings Etc overall as well played a road game against a really good team trying to remember a better one that we’ve seen this year they smoked Carolina tonight absolutely smoked them they made Carolina look like a bad hockey team it was it was impressive all

The way around I love their breakouts they didn’t spend any time in their Zone uh there was one play one shift in the second period where they iced it and stayed out long they used the middle of the ice well in their own Zone remember they couldn’t do that well against

Florida cuz Florida was so aggressive on them but here they seem to use it real well they able to use that play real well and they got out cleanly uh Brad marshan guys we’re not just starting here because of the 400th chronologically it makes sense it open

Up the scoring but finally he got his 400th guys and it was a nice breakaway goal didn’t know he didn’t know it went in but it did and here it is yeah it wasn’t perfectly clean uh but at this point Brad needed 400 however he was

Going to get it whether it was going off his head whether he was break away off of his leg on the rebound or crashing into Freddy Anderson whatever it was and this is what you’re talking about Billy in the middle of the ice and support geeky does a great job coming all the

Way across the ice and Brad stretches and that pulled the Carolina defense so much tonight uh he gets a little chip on him goes underneath the pad of Anderson didn’t know it was in didn’t know where it was but he gets the puck and he gets 400 didn’t really seem like Anderson

Well maybe he didn’t know where it was cuz he got bumped he turns around and sees it there did he go down a little awkwardly there Anderson meaning forward if had stayed upright that protects it more or is this just one of those I’ll call it fluke almost yeah that was fluke

Yeah that was fluke okay but Brad didn’t know went until everybody there there then he now he’s SM the monkey off his back yes Brad He’s our super star of the game sitting at 3.99 for a long time but finally we can show you this graphic with 400 plus goals in Bruin’s history

Brad marshan fifth on the list just needs a couple more to pass Rick Middleton and next season he’ll be looking to pass his buddy Pat T berson but congratulations to Brad on that goal all right David pck different kind of Milestone he hit 50 plus last season

But we’d like to see him do it again this season and he gets goal number 47 some sweet dangles by him Razer I don’t know if there’s a goalie can do here that much you know Anderson’s going to be protecting the side we’ll show you the whole play here he’s going to Coral

He gets but when he reads the fact that nobody’s going to him Freddy Anderson goes down by it’s not like he’s on his knees the entire time he goes down at the last second posto senses it and absolutely Zips it upstairs yeah and and again using the middle of the ice Zach

Is just so good right now Zach has been amazing uh pulling up and and you know he’s going to that back to that Wing David just tries to find some open space and we talked about the man-on-man coverage Jarvis gets lost he gets they get confused they don’t pick up the

Right guys and David’s just waiting if Freddy Anderson pulls off and goes to his left just a little bit with the right-handed shot he’ll he’ll go back over the shoulder which he did if Freddy didn’t move and he stayed and held that right side then David probably takes

Another half step and rips it low glove so it’s a no win when a guy like David past has this much time as a right-handed shot coming off that wall there and again impossible it’s impossible to stop that right and but you saw um player it was hinen he was

Below the goal line a lot of times he would almost wait for that pass right to maybe David could give it low not half wall but low over to Heinen but I think and I think Heinen says wait this is again man on man if I come from below

The goal line up higher that’s going to help open up that Lane right there and it did because Burns chased him above you know beyond the bottom of the circle right there and opened up that side lane for David well that’s it’s an easy read for hinen because there in that

Situation he pulls out and burns has to make a decision he’s got to go to one or the other he goes with hen if he had to went to David David probably gives it to H and he gets that opportunity and that’s that’s the problem with the man

On man and that’s why we talk about the Bruins In Their Own Zone and the layers and the centerman that those plays don’t happen in the Bruins Own Zone because of their Zone play I don’t know if it’s possible to explain quickly or just the difference just the fans are listening

So the Bruins their defense would have you remember when Jarvis kind of went and then peeled off a defenseman would have sealed on him the Winger would instead of staying on hi and he would have gone to him the other defense rotates over and then the center would

Come back to the middle a or the low forward would come back to Middle that’s the difference here it’s a strict man on man and therefore you pick up a guy and you read it but Jarvis didn’t read it there yeah uh well that one David from

David past or for David pck from zaka and Heinen and then Heinen gets one from zaka and or pasta and zaka his 16th of the season this line continues to to go and and they played so well in Nashville the other night they’ve played so well

And this is again a product of the man on man Carolina had four days off they hadn’t played since Saturday and it looked like it in the first period they were not ready to go they were not ready at the drop of the puck like the Boston

Bruins were and it’s you know they get fortuitous there David fans on it works out goes right to Heinen but Heinen smartly and and as we’ve talked about how smart he is goes right to the net and allows David to find him and he picks the player right there he may have

Gotten away with one two Razer he he might have on on gensel but he but regardless there’s movement and again that creates chaos for the man on man the way that these guys moved and by the way they were going up against the AO line an awful lot in this game the AO

Line was all minus two maybe even minus three cuz they were on the the uh the ice I’m assuming all those guys for for the uh six on five yeah exactly this line really really good again yeah 21 points between the three of them in six games and just clicking and passing the

It test obviously as we take a look at the points but we’re going to go from the offense to the goalies and stoppages crease coverage presented by Liberty Mutual Insurance as we take a look at Jeremy Swan’s numbers on the road this season in 20 starts 121 and 7even one

Shut out 97 safe percentage guys he spoke with Adam after the win uh Jeremy congratulations on the win against another quality opponent just talk about what stood out to you about this win I just think a a full 60 minutes from our team uh really excited

To see that especially on the end of this road trip and guys were blocking shots obviously all the way to the end uh really special stuff to see for us moving forward and at the end of the second period you know after the Carolina hurricane score a power play

Goal you guys come up with a big penalty kill how big was that going into the break that’s a that’s important momentum um you know any special teams whether it’s a power player or penalty killer you want it to be a momentum for your team and I think our guys did a great

Job of that again blocking shots making sure we’re finishing out our five working there four or our four work in the r five so uh really special stuff to see and excited to get back home to Boston now personally how do you feel about your game heading into the final

Five games of the year I know it’s crazy to think it’s uh it’s gone so fast it’s been such a fun year but I’m excited for what’s to come baby yeah Seas on the way thanks J appreciate it man appreciate it all right guys makes our little debate a little juicier with Jeremy

Swiming having such a great game uh but good for him and also looking good heading into the postseason that’s I mean one regulation lost all season it’s crazy um really impressive stuff on the road uh I again love the Bruins defensively love they only gave up 28

Shots in Carolina that’s a really low number in that building they average I think you said 35 Billy um he was good really good and didn’t have to do much and that that’s the beauty of tonight’s game is is he made a couple saves that were important at the right time like

That one right there 7 minutes left in the second he made a couple on the power play but it wasn’t up to him tonight and that’s that’s the beauty of the game yeah it was it was outstanding I mean he they didn’t rely on him but they needed

Him just to make those couples stay focus and in the first period you know Carolina before the Bruins got their goals they were doing their Carolina things they were taking putts we we saw some earlier highlights shots from putting pucks on that from everywhere like literally from the goal line and

You know I mean I I’m not going to say it’s harder for a goal like that but if there’s bodies in front Razer it has to be harder because you’re worried about a carum maybe not so much as screen but pucks pinballing around he handled it

Well he did everything he did he did what they asked and and needed and he was like the rest of the team for the every like except for the one or one Puck touch very early in the game I thought he his game was very uh almost

Boringly clean if that is that a fair way of describing it yeah boringly clean all right we’re going to add that to your list listen we they needed a boring clean third period as a team and they did they did just that last game and this game yeah and they closed out

Florida too so that that’s that’s three games they’ve held leads against really good teams on the road on this road trip since getting screamed at and yelled at that they closed out immaculately like perfectly uh no issues no stress no nothing so this is you know they’ve

Taken a lot of heat for those finishes over this season first place team 105 points in the league they take a lot of heat on those last six on fives and the overtimes Bo so they they deserve some flowers here for for the way they’ve played the last six days right boringly

Clean is a compliment in the sense but what what wasn’t clean was the floor that you picked up that Eminem from I never found the oh you didn’t find it but you were looking I said there’s dust there Billy be careful he didn’t care did he said none then and then Razer

Said there might be mice there oh yeah he’s still going to be looking that’s why I opened up Mrs freshley okay uh all right let’s check in on the Panthers and Senators give you an update Florida already at this point leading 5 nothing Matthew kachuck with the power play goal

His 24th of the season six nothing Panthers and that would be the final score so we know what comes next they took it out they took it out on the Ottawa side row Ottawa is perfect for us they’re the perfect slum Buster as those Ottawa Senators well here you go guys

The standings Bruin still because they got their own two points four points ahead of them and uh Panthers right there behind them looking at the Wild Card the lightning and Islanders over jumping over the uh cats well obviously sets up a big S Saturday game at Garden

Must win for Florida yes must win must win for Florida on Saturday it’s going to be rocking we’ve got a lot more to come on Bruins overtime live we’re going to get dressing room reaction from this win against the Carolina Hurricanes and here from head coach Jim Montgomery right after the break
