This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the SportsNet Radio Network.

Welcome back to the program.

I hear Monday or Friday starting at noon,

Eastern across the Sportsnet Radio Network, Sportsnet 360,

and thank you to everybody who not only downloads and listens,

but then gets in touch with me

to scold me on things either the things that I say or perhaps more importantly during the

playoffs Maddie things that I don't say do you get feedback much about things that you choose

not to talk about or don't dedicate enough time to oh always because we only have two hours

Vancouver connects for eight minutes but the New York Rangers only two yeah it's just

like this is part of the job people if you would like to produce the show you can send

your resume too do you want me to give out our bosses email yeah and then tweet it great

career limiting move there mattie yeah and they'll feel good for about five seconds.

And then afterwards, I go, what did I just do?

Yeah, and then I get the call.

Meet me in my office.

Let's get to our man, Mike Russo from the athletic covering the Florida Panthers

and the Boston Bruins series, one that Mike didn't take very long to get nasty.

Good afternoon, wherever you are.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Good. I'm in the TD Garden right now. I've got done listening to Paul Maurice and now

getting ready for the game. Anything from Paul Maurice vis-a-vis tonight's matchup we should be aware of?

No, just Sam Bennett is a game-time decision. He didn't skate in line rushes initially.
