95, the Sports Hub.

The Sports Hub. The... the sports hub all right back to your phones as promised we got to get some other stuff as well today

it's not going to be all blooms you can call on brunes all day long and we'll

we'll never be far from it but i i want to some celtic stuff uh coming up this hour marcus smart

and that injury and kairie irving and the pressure on him going into these playoffs. I'll have a Patriots minute for you as well. And your calls all day long. So this is it. And we'll do the fuppets here in a few minutes. Here's Chuck in Boston, though, on the Bruins' leaves. Go ahead, Chuck. I think the most pressure would be on Freddie Anderson. I mean, remember last year giving up, he had two games at the garden giving up seven goals, another one given up five. I mean, I think he pukes on himself if we get a few early. What do you guys think? Okay, so, I mean, I think the pressure on the goalies is inherent. Like, I almost say other than the goalies. But I'll say this about Anderson. I don't think a lot as expected of him. You know, he's not a high-end goalie. He's not someone that they routinely sort of rely on to win games. They rely on their offense and their forwards and their explosiveness offensively, and that's how they win. They don't usually win on goaltending. So I think there's more pressure on Austin Matthews than Frederick Anderson. I mean, to me, Matthews is a huge guy in this series. Again, you know, Tavares is there now, takes the pressure off. Last year he sucked. Like, you know, now the matchup form could be better as a result. If Matthews comes out and stinks again, it doesn't he start to develop the label of one of these guys that can't play in spring? You know, he's on that road. Sagan. Absolutely. Like, you know, he becomes Tiger Sagan Jr. Their version of Tyler Sagan, right? You know, well, you know what I mean. Ross and Newton. Hi, Ross. First of all, I just want to lead off all you current playoff format, NHL people can go screw. It is just tremendous out of the gates, and I freaking love it. And it ties right into the new rivalry with Toronto. And that whole media scrum, tight butt-cheek scenario, and Babcock, that little weasel, I can tell Butch Cassidy doesn't like him, legitimately doesn't like him as a guy that fought his way up.

And what I love about this team, what I love about Butch is he's been pushing all the right buttons all year. He's done well with that fourth line. But two things that really jump out to me that are different this year than last year is they found the fourth line. The fourth line was so critical for them midseason. But a big part of that was coralli. And not having coralli in the lineup, he's such a great skater.

He's that kind of shut down guy that can make that line have a real role and number two is you forget that well let me just type you there you're about to give me too much let me just said on coralli i i think that's a factor yeah he's a loss because i think if that fourth line were intact you know, the Achari, Corrali, Wagner, you know, during the regular season anyway, Cassidy was confident throwing those guys out against good scoring lines on the opponent as a checking line, as a shutdown line.

And if they had Corralli here, I wouldn't be surprised if they, you know, Bergeron Matthews line, because that Bergeron has dominated that matchup, I wouldn't be surprised if they, you know, Bergeron Matthews line, because that

Bergeron has dominated that matchup, I wouldn't be surprised if they threw that fourth line

out against Tavares.

But now without Coralli there, I don't know.

I wonder about it.

Will he just play it straight up, Crachie line against Tavares, you know, the top two lines

versus the top two lines and then let the third and fourth line sort of battle it out, or will he treat, will he use either the coil line or that fourth line as a checking line on Tavares? That's what I wonder about. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, again, it sort of, some of the dynamics from last year's series have changed because of that. You know, a lot has changed. Krati's playing like Krati again. They have Tavares. Like, you know, no coralli.

Like they're going to produce. It's a question of how much.

But I think Cassie's going to want him against Matthews because Bergeron's dominated that thing. Which makes, yeah, makes all the sense in the world. But, like, I wonder what happens after that. Like that, you know, that coil line, what if they suck? Is that, like, that's not out of the wrong possibility. not like as much as they got better there, what if that line really gets its ass hand to it? You got issues. Scott and Weymouth, what do you got for us today? What's up? NHL playoffs, best in all the sport. Here we go. All right, a couple quick points. Stop worrying about Tuka, in the spirit of the Masters. All he has to do is shoot par. Now, by the way, Coyle, William is a great series off topic. Okay, I'll tell you who to worry about, Austin Matthews. Yes, he was terrible last series last year. He, in my opinion, he's the second best player in the NHL behind Carter McDavid. First overall draft pick, this kid is sick. His best attribute is his shot. It's a rocket. The Bruins better keep Toronto off the power play. In closing, the Bruins are out-coached. Babcock probably is the best coach in the world. This is going to be a series. Stop looking ahead to Tampa. I'm tired here about Tampa. Who's probably going to win the next four games, by the way, against Columbus. Okay, now you give me eight different things, which is too much.

I believe it's going to be a series two.

I think people, I agree with you on Babcock. I don't know if he's the best in the world. He's probably overrated because he's considered the best in the world, or he makes $8 million a year, and he's the Canadian national team coach. So, of course, you get overrated in that spot.
