What has happened to Elias Lindholm?
The Boston Bruins lost 4-2 to the San Jose Sharks at home but are still in the playoffs. The East is getting tighter by the day, but can the Bruins hold on?
Lauren Campbell from Mass Live Sports drops by to talk about the above, along with trades that almost happened and is James Hagens almost a Boston Bruin?

What do you think the Bruins' chances of making the playoffs are?
Macklin is an absolute stud. Lindholm and pasta does not work.
Olympic break killed their momentum, if they only had all star game my money is there in third in atlantic
I remember your dad Court, he must be very proud.
Both Lindholms are way past their primes. Overpaid and SLOOOOW.
Geekie needs to get his nose dirty and yes he should have real talent next to him.
I like kurally I just don’t think he was the right move this season. They should have plugged in a younger player like locmelis.
I think you underestimate the effect that Monty had on this team. His poor coaching has infected this team and will for a few more years. These guys all think that they’re finesse players and they’re not they need to get down and dirty, but they won’t. they need a Dan cherry Claude Julian type of tough love to get the most out of them. Sturm is a rookie coach and he’s getting there, but I don’t think that he’s going to have the gravitas until next year to really put his foot down with some of these guys. Added to that are the poor decisions that Don Sweeney constantly makes. Hopefully this will be Don Sweeney’s Swan song.
Note to Bs .. Please do not trade Arvidsson!
I wouldn’t give up a single top end player or prospect for Trocheck. Don’t love the player
All Peeke had to do was play the body and get in Eklund's way. The fact that he tried to poke the puck and use the stick instead…. man… just horrible. It's defense 101. Bush league.
Unless it’s for McDavid, you DON’T trade Minton.
Really enjoyed Lauren as a guest! The B's may sneak into the playoffs, but I feel it's going to be more dependent on how the other teams do. Don't feel with a majority of their games left on the road, that they'll be controlling their fate. I think Lindholm needs to sit for a few games to try and light a fire under him. Bring up Poitras who will definitely bring the effort and energy that is missing from Lindholm right now. Agree that Geekie should be back up on that top line. Can't root for Maine tonight, since my daughter goes to BC! Hagens isn't the answer to the Bruins problems right now and I don't feel expectations are realistic for him. I still think he should start in Providence. Get him playoff experience and getting use to playing a level up. Then in training camp, figure out what line he would be most effective on as a wing and give him time to learn Sturm's system.
Sweeney made a conscious choice to pay E. Lindholm over Marchand. Think about that on a deeper level.
💯 Kuraly is like a pylon he’s so slow . Put Lindholm with Steves and Middlestadt 4th line , 3rd line Potrias and Jeannot and Kastilic . Top line Minten pasta and khutsty , 2nd Zacha Arvidson and Geekie and if Hagens is up try him with pasta and Minten
Your cohost today was excellent.
Harris on his off side would be better than Peeke. A bunch of sticks taped together would be better than Peeke. It's so bad now (I can't even believe I'm saying this)- Jokiharju would be better than Peeke…!
And, as a native Maine-iac, I am praying to the hockey gods to deliver Hagens to the Bruins Monday morning skate, safe and sound, with the determination to prove to the world how good he is after such an abrupt ending to his college career.
I think people underestimate how appealing the sharks are to new hockey fans. My wife was apathetic to hockey before Heated Rivalry now she sends me Celebrini and "Will Smith Hockey" memes all the time
Words are cheap, we have heard it all year after a bad game. It gets down to how bad do they want it?
You guys touched on it here but Zadorov also did in the postgame media. If the B’s want to make the playoffs, it’s up to them. Last night, pretty much everything went right for them besides their own game. If you’re going to get help around the league it is important to also help yourselves. Anyways, I hope to see Hagens in black and gold soon!!
I don’t think Elias fits into the culture of being a Bruin. You either have to be a consistent point producer or be a physical presence to help your team. Arvidsson isn’t the best skater or skill guy, but finds a way to produce with his gritty style. Sometimes, I don’t even notice Elias is even on the ice. Non-existent.
