Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burr and it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday June 3rd, 2019. What's going on? How are you?

Hey, I don't know what to tell you. I'm here in New York City. We start the movie tomorrow.

So, you know, little fuck, I always get antsy before I do those things, but then once I do a take or two, then I'm just kind of fine.

So, and also today is my beautiful wife's birthday, which is a nice distraction. The family's in town. I'm no longer lonely.

They came in yesterday. It was awesome. We have a nice little space here. So, I play this game either where I chase my daughter around or, you know, she does like the pony ride, but like I used to do it, you know, how you do the pony ride where you crawling on all fours, but my left knee is too fucked up.

So, I was like, all right, get on my back and we'll do it this way. And then that morphed into let's do the fast pony ride. So now I have to run with her on my back. And yeah, it's just there's no way there's no way around it. I'm just old, no matter which way I try to adjust it.

She wears me out, but yeah, it's awesome that they're they're here in town. So anyways, let's talk. Let's talk Stanley Cup final hockey. Your Boston Bruins are up two games to one, two games away from winning the Stanley Cup, which would be the seventh in franchise history.

And they're two games away, but that is a long, long ways away. It's been a very strange series so far. It's been a series of dominance. Whoever wins the game that night seems to have dominated.

Like, I remember when the Bruins won game one, all my buddies would text me going, St. Louis can't play with us. You know, they were texting emojis of it's going to be a sweep.

And I saw nothing the first period of of that game. I just knew that, you know, they're a big fast team. And this is going to be a war. This is going to be a war.

So last night was a weird game. I don't know. It's a little frustrated. I got to tell you I was furious after game two. Not because we lost. I've just never seen a Bruins team.

I've been in the same field the other way after that amount of liberties are taken after the whistle. You know, this is this new period where they've.

All the I wish all the people that wanted to get fighting out of the game actually watch this series. You know, because that's what I always said. It's like they all these people were advocating, you know, getting the fighting out of the game so they could continue to not watch hockey.

Like there's nothing wrong with the way St. Louis is playing, but the way that they're playing back in the day, you know, we would have sent a goon out on the ice to settle everything down.

But now you there's none of that anymore. So the game that they're playing, which is essentially they play the lock, whatever the left wing lock or whatever.

And then they come down the ice and run in our gold tender and back in the day, if you ran the gold tender, the second you did it, you just dropped the gloves because you knew somebody was going to come and try to beat the shit out of you, but that can't happen.

So I guess what needs to happen is then the ref needs to take his whistle out of his fucking slacks. And you got to punish the team, but they've kind of let it go.

And when they have taken the whistle out, they kind of have matching penalties, which has been really frustrating, but my buddy Joe Barton told me said, don't worry.

All the Bruins have to do is keep playing that game and they'll be able to get past it, but I am by no means comfortable.

I'm psyched for up to games to one, but I am, you know, it was so weird. I mean, that game was essentially five to two. It wasn't, you know, it was an empty netter and then a garbage time fucking bullshit goal in the end.

It was basically a five to two game and I was really baffled how we somehow scored five goals when I felt we played the game 80% in our own end.

And that isn't what I like. And the way St. Louis plays is you got to get up on them early because they, you know, if they get up a goal or two, they're just going to fucking smother you with that boring ass fucking trap defense, which I don't understand.
