Back here on WEEI afternoons, and we go right to the guest line for our weekly chat with Andrew Razor Raycroft.

Razor, how are we doing this week? I'm fantastic. How are we doing there? We're very good. It's a beautiful day out. You know, the Bruins, Celtics, got some playoff teams on the horizon. It's beautiful. It really is, isn't it? This is the best time of year. Masters week, more importantly than everything.

Yeah, you don't have to tell Ted about that.

He spent an hour and a half yesterday, just you can't get enough.

Raising in the glory that is Augusta.

All right, enough with the fun.

Now we're going to get to the negative question of the day.

Why is James Hagan's not going to play tomorrow for the Boston Bruins?

I don't know, because you see a name like that, a top 10 pick? He joins the team. You're like, oh, there's only a few games left. We're head to the playoffs. I'm going to get to see James Hagan's 1230 early puck drop, and then you find out he's not going to play. All right. So, I mean, I could go a hundred different ways here. But for me, one, everything's been perfect, perfectly timed out.

He went to the minors.

The kid did a great job doing that.

The kid continues to say all the right things.

He's doing the right things, asking the right questions,

learning how to play away from the puck at the pro game, and how he can help when he's doing the right things, asking the right questions, learning how to play away from the puck

at the pro game and how he can help when he's not just scoring. Number one, he's doing, the kid's doing

a great job. The organization's doing a great job building him along. I saw Sturm talk about it today,

and this is what, it's just so, um, I, I, again, I might be really old school, but I'm not that old.

I'm not that old school. But, and the reason pro sports is what it is and why I think we all love it,

is it's really one of the only meritocracies left in our society, in our world, that you have to earn your position.

You have to earn your job.
