This is the skate podcast talking Bruins hockey with W.E.I. Bruins writers, Scott McLaughlin, Bridget Prue, and Brian D. Feliz. Lace him up for some Bees talk. It's Odyssey's The Skate Pod on W.E.E.I. Welcome in to episode 460 of the skate podcast.

I am Brian D. Felice, joined by Bridget Pru and Scott.

How are you this morning?

We have another mailbag to get to today because, again, it's just kind of a slow time of year,

but we have plenty of content to get to.

I'm good.

I got to see Messi play soccer at Gillette last night, so that's exciting.

First time I've ever seen him in person.

I saw a Gillette popcorn time.

Indeed, yeah.

I was fortunate enough to be in a luxury suite brag.

And yes, they had they had popcorn.

So that, that's what you get for, for being in a luxury suite.

Like can't, can't just get popcorn anyway, you know?

Scott, can you, can you explain messy being, uh, playing at Gillette and playing in,

in the league he is in in hockey terms i know sometimes

like you'll see that sometimes something will happen in a sport and fans of another sport will

be like can you put this in NFL terms football you know basketball terms it would be like

Connor mac david say at age 33, 34, where like he's still really good, but maybe past his prime, going over and playing in like Sweden or something, like a league where you would never see an all-time great.

You know, like, MLS has gotten some really good players at the ends of their careers, but then, like,

messy is just a whole different level, a whole new phenomenon.

He's the greatest player ever.
