What do you think of Hagens debut?
Swayman and Korpi are great, Its frustrating when people just blame goals on the goaltender without even considering the defensive play that allowed the shot on net in first place.
The refs from the game sabres game was rough, that call when we had 3 on 1 rush… Not doing anything about sabres goalie clearly lifting the net off the post intentionally when there was a shot on net and it was likely to stay in zone.
Nice to see Ty with you. Being in Boston area. He has great insight.
So maybe Hagans in, Elias out to get healthy
That was an awesome podcast. You guys were very informative and entertaining. I enjoyed it the most of any podcast I have seen in years. I watch alot of them too lol
I'm so glad you gave Khunisdinov (sp)? his props. I love this kid. In October I was and still call him Marchand 2.0. Arviidson is working his bag off too.
2026. Anything is possible.
Also, Lohri's penalty didn't bother me. It's the god damn turnover two nights in a row. It's a part of him. Annoying!
He's like Doug Hamilton 2.0.
Oh the irony of had been traded to Calgary.
I still like the kid, but c'mon.
Wow! I've never heard praise for Bettman before. Court you're a first, for me anyway. I guess you save all your 'hate-on' for Cam Neeley eh? (and possibly Peeke too?)
Best Buins content Court. I love what you are doing. Thank you.
awesome podcast ty is awesome dude, good win last night, korpi played great happy for him, you wanna make playoffs he needs to be apart of it and help, GO LEAFS GO i hate to say it but 2 first round picks is the best thing for this franchise IF DONE PROPERLY, there are so many d man that potential could play first NHL season right away some big canadian boys, also my kitchener rangers ( ohl ) had a kid named bilecki draft eligible would be a solid late round pick, kid has potential like a bigger cameron reid (nsh) from rangers as well
Honestly,I think the Bruins are performing much better than most fans thought they would this year,if we were being honest.
This may have been the best episode so far
As a college fan the most frustrating thing is when your superstars don’t come back senior year. The better they play, the faster they leave.
Boston has the 4th line anyone would want in the playoffs. They then got sway. Think back to the last year the B’s were in the playoffs and how he performed. This team has the pieces to go on a run if they’re to make the playoffs, but as stated, they have a high ceiling and a low floor. I believe tho. Oh and I forgot about zadorov. That’s another guy who can elevate for a postseason matchup
Please, no Minten jersey Court. Look what happened to Geekie!
I have to agree that I want Geekie scoring goals but its hard to call a guy who has 5 points in his last 5 games, struggling. He has to keep on shooting the puck and the goals will come back. The fact his goals have dropped off when he was taken off a line with Pastrnak, should not surprise anyone LOL
My biggest concern is that powerplay right now….this is shades of last year recently where it is SO BAD it affects the rest of our game. Also, once again, it struggles and the coaches do nothing but roll out the same lines and same people again and again. If we don't fix that powerplay and soon we are in trouble…..period.
Folks need to quit focusing on the odd error Lohrie makes…You could focus on the odd error McAvoy makes…do we flush him too? Defenseman in the NHL is not an easy position to play nowadays. Lohrei has looked great lately despite one or 2 errors.
Great move swapping lindholm with minted, about 2 weeks late but thank god. Also feel bad for Geekie, he needs a better setup. Swap him and pasta out periodically just to get him going down the stretch?
Court on the bruins social media maybe two weeks ago a week ago can’t quite remember too many games in a short amount of time, but there is a video of them getting off the bus pregame and you can tell E Linholm is limping
I agree, on the third line setting up Geeke with the Howitzer !
I love the depth you and Ty went to. Best 1.5 hours of hockey talk I've heard in a long time. Great job
I think Hagens will be up after this weekend unless the Bruins win both games in the back to back. As you guys said, that 3rd line is the perfect landing spot.
47:25 Ty Anderson turned into Ty Andersib 😅
Tremendous show! This is why we love the channel.
The entire segment of when the bruins got a pp and then Lohrei took the puck, skated to mid ice, then passed the puck back into the Bruins zone and was almost turned over. And then the rest of that 2 minutes was a total disaster for the bruins. I blame Lohrei for that 2 entire two minutes of chaos. He got benched by Sturm fur about 5 minute after that
Yeah, if/when Hagens comes up, put him in Reichel's spot for a couple games and then have Elias go down with a season ender (he's obviously struggling with the injury from earlier and a few games off will make him much better when he comes back for the playoffs), and Hagens can slot in at 3C with Reichel and Geekie. Then, for shits and gigs, Sturm can try him between Khusy and Pasta, and then boom- they're all on duck boats with a big silver bowl full of champers and a herd of drunk Bostonians are ralphin Nastygansetts into the Charles!
Great episode! Really enjoyed listening to you and Ty. Let me start off by saying that I 100% agree with you about putting Hagens on a line with Poitras. No idea what Sweeney/Mougenel were thinking putting him on a line with Brown and Blumel. Hagens needs to be with a creative playmaker that has speed, so that you can truly analyze his offensive capabilities. The one time Hagens/Poitras ended up together you could tell there was a connection there. As usual, Poitras was impressive last night with his passing, stick work and zone entries. I think Hagens and Poitras would put up some serious points together. You can just tell you're watching NHL talent when you see the both of them on the ice. That being said, I do think it was the right move to start Hagens in Providence. His first game was a solid start with room for him to improve. You can tell Hagens needs to get familiar with the Bruins system, but also the physicality of the pros. Having seen most of his games at BC, he was hesitant at times where he wouldn't have been at BC. Still think the Calder Cup playoffs would benefit him greatly. I'm looking forward to the games this weekend because first game jitters should be gone. Regardless of if he spends the rest of the season in Providence or Boston, I'm confident he will make the roster next season. You can tell his speed and his ability on the PP will be a huge help to the Bruins.
You don't have the Bears anymore ….eh ohhh!…thanks for the work fellas, HUGE win, Korpy hung in there too.Hagens looks like a Ferrari playing in a league of pick up trucks. AHL, I find can be harder for a play maker type…if you're a hot dog goal scorer it can be easier, but if you're looking for running mates, dare I say I feel his game is more suited for the NHL. Cheers
Is Hagens a better skater than Lysell?
Guys. We all got to take a paying subscription so Court has the ability to fly to like a Springfield and brake down Hagens in person and interview the guy. Court is the major league and all the Boston podcasters are not and I like Ty and he has credentials being on WEEI but Court is at.a different level.
Hagens is going to be a perimeter player who gets points on the PP but 55
will produce at an average 2nd Liners rate.
This kid was shutdown 55 by UConn in a game he should be taking over.
Should have taken Ben Kindel who has 17G already and is still elegible for the
2027 World Juniors. Scored SO winner last night against Ottawa in a
playoff cauldron, while Hagens can't even get an ELC from Sweeney.
Great job. Thank you.
Very cool show. Interesting agenda. Court and Ty covered everything as a Bruins
fan I wanted!
Like the take on Hagens! I think the elite skating and vision
he has was very evident in the Providence debut.
I think James Hagens skating reminds me the most of Barzal.
Hagens will definitely play for Boston down the stretch. He could definitely ignite some goals for Geekie!
