The whole thing is freaking silly.

How are you? Yes, I have been waiting for a long, long time. Wanted to make two points. Number one, the Bruins. The past five games, I don't know what's been going on with them. It seems like pasta has really tailed off in his production. And I don't see this team being a Stanley Cup contender.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it.

And number two, the Patriots, what's the possibility of bringing on somebody like Jimmy Garoppolo,

who's got a seasoned veteran 32 years old, pretty good track record. And I'm just wondering what you guys think of that. I know Vegas is going to release them next week. I'll start with – thanks, Ed, and thanks for hanging so long. Appreciate it. On the first thing, I mean, in my core, do I ever think the Bruins are going to win a Stanley Cup? No, because I grew up watching them. I've watched them my whole life. I always expect the banana to put in the tailpipe. As it turns out, 2011 Joe was the anomaly. And the last team and last game that really left a deep scar where I walked out of the building, after the second period, by the way, you left. Yeah, rightfully so, because I know a dead body when I see one.

Yeah, that was the last time I was like, I can't believe at this point, even though I'm like jaded and I've seen how the sausage is made that I can still allow sports to make me this mad. That game seven against the blues, that cut deep. Anyway, that said, you know how the NHL playoffs work? It doesn't matter if they're in this skid right now, which I actually think, based on last year, might be beneficial for them.

Yeah. said, you know how the NHL playoffs work. It doesn't matter if they're in this skid right now,

which I actually think, based on last year, might be beneficial for them. Yeah, it looks ugly right now, but I don't know. You got someone like, I mean, they have the goalie tandem. Marcian's having a, you know, he's taking the captain's, captaincy role well. He's having a really good season. And like, look, you get into the playoffs in the NHL, crazy things can happen.

Their strength is goaltending.

Who knows?

Who's to say? captaincy role well. He's having a really good season. Like, look, you get into the playoffs in the NHL, crazy things can happen.

Their strength is gold-tending. Who knows? Who's to say? Now, at my quarter, I think they'll win a round, maybe two. Win the Cup? Of course not, because it's called Bruins. On the second thing, Garoppolo? Yeah, no thanks, especially after this PED news today, Joe. Yeah, out on Garoppelow. Maybe he'll find a job somewhere and they'll miss the first two games.

As far as the Bruins go, you know, I'm one of those guys where I look at it and say, and it's happened a lot, Jim, by the way, where a team wins the President's Cup, and then the next year, I assume the President's Trophy, and then the next year, it's like they get bounced then the next year they play well. So maybe there's a little bit of that to the bees, but they need to score more. And I mentioned Carlo last night falling on his face. It's because he's trying to do too much on the offensive end. So, you know, whether it's their goal, he's giving up three goals in consecutive games, are them only scoring four goals over four games or whatever it is now? It's all happening. One thing that I don't know if we've really talked about it, I've said it in the headlines 15 times, seven game homestand coming out of the break. They should have dominated this. Especially when you're playing trash teams like Seattle, who isn't good this year, Calgary, like this is, they've played poorly on this homestand, which is jarring. You know, the way that they've looked in this recent stretch, this thing last Saturday against Washington, who also they have played better than this year. Like, it's not great. But to say they're not a cup contender, no, they'll get into the playoffs and hopefully they went around.

I'd be satisfied with that.

Do I want him to win a cup? Of course. But I always expect them to fall on their face because that's what they've done my whole life, except for 2011. That's the anomaly. Thank you very much, Tim Thomas. Chris in Hartford with a thought on Jalen Brown, which I think you will agree with, Joe. go ahead chris yeah Yeah, see, Jimmy, you know me for the last three years of in Killen Brown, okay?
