00:00Poke the bear is brought to you by price picks and the game time app

00:06And welcome in to poke the bear episode

00:10264 presented by prize picks and game time tickets. My name is Conor Ryan. And once again, we are joined by

00:1695 the sports hubs

00:18Ty Anderson Ty what's going on? What's up, man? How we doing?

00:23Doing well, we are in the in the thick of it in terms of preseason games and I don't know about you Ty

00:29We're recording this right after the Bruins lost to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden

00:36Was a that was a preseason game wasn't a whole lot going on wasn't a whole lot

00:39I'm really glean from again. You have David Poster on plane. You got McAvoy got the door off got a few guys in there

00:47Not a whole lot to draw from that game that was a lot of the the veterans got there working got there skating in

00:55Yeah, that's about it wasn't a lot to really draw from that one, right no not a lot to draw from that one

01:01That was one of the more preseason games that I've ever preseasoned in my life. I must say and so

01:08Not too too much to kind of take away from that game to be honest with you

01:13You got you got to look at some line combinations some player combos

01:17But beyond that

01:19Just kind of a big old nothing

01:22And it kind of felt that way too, you know after the game

01:25Jim Montgomery was just kind of saying like yeah, we didn't really

01:28Pressure a lot and it was it made life hard for ourselves

01:32it's like yeah, it's kind of how it felt and it was it was kind of hard to watch because I

01:36Think once a game gets away from in the preseason you naturally get into like, all right

01:41Let's just let's just get through this running clock. Please. It was it was it was a running clock kind of game

01:46I in my opinion, yeah run the clock go in go out grab a slice of Sbarro pizza

01:51Hit the road. Yeah, good day. Good day in New York City the picture with Elmo in Times Square

01:56Do we get it get it get attacked by like a goofy where like his face is half-missing looks at his face

02:02Yes, true, New York experiences as they say

02:06But when you look at if we're trying to draw any sort of takeaways or something from it burning bussy

02:16You know, he gives up four goals

02:18Rebound control was a little bit of an issue. Like some of it was was bad luck, right?

02:23Like breakaway goal from offman where it's a door off didn't look all that great there

02:28Five on three goal by Adam Fox earlier on in that game

02:32But still a lot of rebounds a lot of pucks in grade a ice

02:37You know a lot of grade a chances generated by the Rangers in that game

02:41what have you made of bussies preseason so far from what you saw both last Sunday and Thursday and

02:48Is there any cause for concern for what you've seen for him so far out of these two games?

02:54Yeah, you know as a general rule of thumb

02:56I try not to get too high or too low with a goalie in the preseason if we go back

03:03famously in

03:042021 Lena Solmark had a wretched post preseason and then was great in the regular season from about

03:11November

03:1210th or something on he was incredible

03:15So as a general rule of thumb, I try not to get too high or too low with preseason results with that said

03:23This was clearly an opportunity for bussy to establish himself and to make life interesting

03:29independent of what happens with Jeremy Swayman

03:32Because listen if they signed Swayman and bussy was what you saw a year ago in the preseason

03:37And he was making these acrobatic saves and he's looking fantastic. It's like, okay

03:42There's a legit reason to to either wave corpus alo or go with three goalies and let the battle rage on

03:48Into the regular season as we've talked about

03:51but if you're gonna begin the the preseason with

03:54In 864 a couple of goals that I think are stoppable a couple are just sick, right?

04:00Like that Crider deflection is great. He's one of the best in the world at that

04:04The the fourth goal where the guy gets his own rebound bats out of the air like that's that's just ridiculous

04:12But what I would say though, is that like, okay, well you gotta stop that initial shot

04:15you can't let that rebound get right back to him, so

04:18Structurally, there's been some things that I think are a little the rebounds been pretty big. I would say and just kind of that

04:26That that demeanor that your six-foot-five goalie has to have of like, okay

04:31The game is kind of getting away from them, but he's gonna make the saves here, right?

04:34Like you kind of need more that I think if he's gonna make camp interesting and through two games

04:39I we haven't really seen it but

04:41You know again, it's how much weight you want to put in to a preseason performance

04:48It like so that's where I get I get kind of stuck in the middle ground there

04:52But I will say that to make things interesting. He's got to be better

04:55He's got to be better than what he's shown through two games so far. Yeah, absolutely

04:58I think that's the biggest key right and it's as you said, we're at the stage of the preseason where yes

05:02We've got three games down now, but you look at like Cooper Salo who looked really solid in his

05:08reps

05:09but had seven shots on goal like was looked really solid with square two pucks ceiling off the post doing all the things you

05:16The basics you expect from a guy who's able to turn aside a lot of those short opportunities

05:21But seven shots seven shots like listen

05:24It's a lot better if he gave up four off of seven shots

05:27then we'd be freaking out right when you look at just what the state of this goalie core is but

05:32It does I think reinforce whether it's bussy who's

05:36Been off and on so far during the preseason or corporate solo who looks good

05:40But you see more of it obviously going forward. I imagine he's probably gonna get a full game here pretty soon

05:47It does reinforce once again that you look at this team. You look at the roster a lot to like about it

05:52man, you feel a whole lot better if you had

05:54you had number one in net because it does feel like that is the one kind of just looming thing right now where

06:00Defense even with

06:02again, a preseason game few few mistakes few a few boo-boos here and there what you deal with but

06:10Decor look strong a lot of options up front

06:14If you have to open the year on October 8th with corporate solo and bussy and it's not to say that I'm writing those guys

06:20Off I'm not saying that corporate sol is gonna be what he was last year

06:23Bussy what he's shown so far in the preseason is gonna carry over to the regular season

06:27But at the most volatile position in hockey like that is a

06:31Lot of uncertainty going into what should be a really really strong roster and it's kind of helping swimming's leverage at least right now

06:37We could be talking in

06:39You know the middle of October and corporate solos three, you know

06:43Living up one goal and maybe all of a sudden that momentum shifts

06:46But just something the Bruins you don't want to be in right now

06:49You want to be getting ready and locked in with your whole crew and that's not the case

06:52Yeah, exactly. And and I think that you know

06:56They are a

06:5796%

06:59Finished product in terms of like they're opening that roster

07:02But the 4% that's missing is actually worth more than 4% like they built the system around having a great goaltender

07:09As we've talked about before like you bring in the best to a center available on open market

07:15You bring in the best defenseman available on the open market

07:19And that confirms that you're dug in on the team construct and the team identity and how the team is gonna look

07:26You can't go back now. It's it's kind of this is what it is, right? And

07:30You know, I thought it was interesting

07:33Yesterday after the morning skate Jim Montgomery was asked about

07:37Each coffee the kid in Philly and he's talking about how like that's how you get generational players is having

07:44Top picks and he referenced Colorado and he said look at they got McKinnon first overall

07:48They got the best defense from the world fourth overall, you know

07:51It's like that's how you build teams like that. And this is sort of what we've talked about on this podcast

07:56We're like you can't just build that kind of team on the fly

08:00You have to amass the picks and you have to suck for a while and then you have to build that kind of team

08:06they have built a team that as long as that goalie is unsigned it is

08:12incredibly incomplete and

08:14You know corpus alo again

08:17Before I believe on here, but like I don't know I don't don't think and fix him

08:22Not a guy you want to rely on though for as your workhorse, you know what I mean?

08:26So like he could be great as a supporting cast member piece, right?

08:31And it's kind of like a lock right like when you brought a lock into Boston

08:35He kind of flamed out as a starter in New York with the Islanders and then he said well

08:40We're gonna bring him in. He's gonna play 30 games. We're gonna get we're gonna get 25 great games out of him

08:45We might get five clunkers, but we're gonna get 25

08:48really good above replacement level

08:51appearances

08:52But if you had to rely on a lock to make 50

08:55Appearances that number is gonna go down a little bit

08:57You're gonna get more stinkers

08:58Look at the playoffs when they had to rely on him in the bubble

09:01Like you kind of saw like, oh, this is good. And then by then to be like, oh my god

09:05This gotta get this over with get this out of here. So

09:10So, yeah, so like but until Swayman assigned the the pitchers incomplete in an

09:17Average sense in terms of what you're missing from your roster. Yep. Swayman watch

09:22Continues on there's nothing more really to note of it. So we will thankfully pivot tie

09:27We won't keep on talking about Jeremy Swayman. There's nothing really new to talk about there

09:31before we talk about a few other top subjects with the Bruins and

09:36Can't precede and all that stuff

11:35Shout out once again to our good friends over at prize picks

11:38All right, I looking at the rest of what we've seen so far, especially maybe that game on Tuesday

11:45Against the Capitals where they had a couple of NHL errs

11:47You had this game on Thursday against the Rangers where a lot of their line of regulars were in there

11:52Whether it's fat camp

11:55Practices all that stuff who are some guys that have really kind of stood out to you so far from what you've seen

12:00Again, not too too much ice time

12:02But is there any guys that are either separating themselves or making a legitimate push maybe that we didn't really expect?

12:08Yeah, I think a guy that's kind of unheralded and in right now

12:12I would have a hard time sending him away would be Cole Koepke

12:15A player who I think just plays a pace

12:19Plays the right way you look at that goal that that he scored in the opener

12:24He provides great support ensures a battle win for the Bruins on the wall then drives right to the net

12:30I mean, that's kind of how the goals are scored now, right?

12:34You know, you got your your highlight reel one-timers

12:37But a lot of the game now is that kind of messiness, you know in front of the net around the net and so

12:43For him to do that, I think was uh, I think it's nice and he had he had a point last night as well

12:48So we have two points in two games

12:51So I kept he's a guy that you know

12:52I think it may be under the radar in terms of his ability to compete for a spot

12:57But a good fourth line kind of weapon that you could have for the Bruins right now

13:02Especially with Mac Joe Max Jones Mac Jones Max Jones being a little uncertain now. Yeah, can you imagine and stuff?

13:09I'm just gonna go play out and play hockey and stuff

13:11No, but um

13:13you know, I think that's like that's a it's a spot right now where I

13:18Look at it and I say yeah, you're a legit contender. So that'd be one for me. Yeah

13:22I think you look at like the entire fourth line grouping

13:25You've got so many intriguing options where you could make a legitimate case for a couple of these guys

13:30Like I think going into the air. I'm like, alright, it's probably gonna be some combination of you know feature

13:36Markaslik who I think has been really good

13:39He was impactful this last game was doing everything to

13:43Get noticed

13:44You got Max Jones. He's banged up right now, but you imagine he's probably one of the

13:50Favorites at least going into camp. But yeah, as you said, you got kept key

13:54You got Riley Tufte who's 6-6 you got Riley Duran who um, you know

13:58It's a guy that I was been talked talked about quite a bit and then even a guy who I don't think it's gonna make

14:03the team on October 8th, but like

14:05Trevor Quintar is the guy who's causing chaos every time he's out there and I think yeah, I mentioned this on another podcast

14:11But one thing I like about Quintar is that like it's going to his second full year Pro Hockey's 23

14:17It seems like he already is well aware of like I know what my identity needs to be. I'm going to do this

14:22I'm going to hop over the boards. I'm gonna hit someone I'm gonna talk a lot of shit

14:26I'm gonna hang around the net front. I'm gonna every single time and what do you know good things happen?

14:31So he's a guy that like, you know, even if there are these players that don't make the team on opening night

14:37You know Quintar maybe a cap key, you know, maybe it's you know, Max Jones is banged up Riley Duran

14:43Like there's a couple of guys who aren't gonna make this team

14:45But when the inevitable kind of injury bug sprouts up as the year goes on

14:50they've got a lot of really intriguing options to really fill out that fourth line because

14:54You got four or five six guys that you told me they were gonna play 60 plus games and be like

15:00I'm really curious to see what they do because I think they've got a lot of guys that kind of fit the mold of what

15:05Checking line units need to be in today's NHL and then there's a lot more potential there not to say that it you know

15:11We're expecting a 15 goal season from Beecher or Max Jones or anything like that

15:15But there's a lot of guys who I think they've brought in that I like how they play

15:18I like what they can bring over the span of a long season

15:21yeah, and you know, I'm happy you brought up Catholic because I think I think that if

15:27You're expecting him to constantly be a guy who is hitting and fighting every game

15:33You're gonna be disappointed because I know people in Ottawa wanted him to be more physical

15:38Pretty much every game like it was it was there but it wasn't consistent enough for them, right?

15:44So he has to bring value beyond that if it's there every night. It's great. I'm not expecting

15:49I'm not expecting it to be though. So what I'm saying is that you got to do something else and through two games right now

15:54He is one

15:5760% of his face-offs. He's nine. He's nine of 15

16:01So that's another reason why they brought him in here. You look back to last year

16:06They only had one righty

16:08Face-off guy who was above 50% It was Charlie Coyle

16:11So that is where Catholic is gonna come in and help provide some needed support

16:17Just another face-off option behind behind Charlie Coyle on the right side

16:21To keep him fresh to keep him from wearing down breaking down as he gets a little bit older here

16:26So that's what I love about him

16:29Another guy who's had great numbers. The dot has been John Farranache. Yeah along the lines of what you're talking about a player who?

16:36Very unlikely. He makes the roster out of the gate, but you look at him a year ago. I

16:41Think he had 38 points. I want to say in in the HL at 36 around there. Yeah

16:4821st most among HL rookies

16:51Will probably get a greater role this year in Providence

16:55And you sort of look at him like if he makes this roster

16:58Or if he fills in it's gonna be in a fourth line role

17:01And if you could win face-offs and if you can turn the tide the other way play some strong D zone have good details

17:07You know all of that

17:09You're gonna you know carve out some more minutes for yourself

17:12And so that's the guy that I think it's been a standout his time similar to Kuntar as you noted

17:17It's not now

17:18But it's coming and you can kind of see like there's something to build off of here

17:23Versus a which is always better than you know a whole collection of all these guys look all right

17:27I guess you know like so you got something here now a lot of them

17:31I think are what we've talked about in the bottom six kind of mold, but you know

17:36We'll see what happens there

17:37You know guys can guys can develop on the fly and promote their way up our upper roster as we've seen countless times now

17:44Yeah, no absolutely

17:45And I also think one guy that has probably exceeded my expectations in terms of maybe where I was comfortable starting him

17:51I would probably say it's Patra who again like this set the numbers

17:54Maybe aren't there like they were last year, which seemed like every game

17:57He was stacking up more and more you know point total stuff like that, but I was going into this year

18:03I think fully expecting him to open the year in Providence get

18:08Top line minutes top power play minutes all that kind of stuff

18:11And seeing kind of how we can build that confidence back up coming off through shoulder surgery

18:16But I think he's looked really good so far. He's kind of been what he was last year poised with the puck

18:22Smart player, you know, I think you've seen that he's put on weight and is stronger on the puck

18:26Which is an encouraging sign doesn't seem like he's tentative at all of coming off of that surgery and again

18:32We've got a ways to go before the preseason ends, but he just right now looks like an NHL

18:37Now where does he fit in the lineup that remains to be seen but I feel like I'm kind of staring more away from

18:42He looks ready for October 8th as opposed to and again

18:45There's nothing wrong with them taking the the slow and steady approach of Providence

18:49But he feels like a guy that I think he can help this team right now

18:53And it's kind of playing like it even he's not gonna be with Zaka and Pasternak and that line wasn't

18:58Dynamic, but there were a couple of promising shifts and a lot of it was him down low

19:03Winning board battles making sound plays and doing what he can to help his team

19:07So I think he's been better than maybe what I expected going into this year considering his offseason

19:11Oh 100% and and yeah, I'm with you that I

19:16Thought he would begin the year in Providence

19:19right now I I have a hard time seeing that happen and

19:25you know, that's that's good for the Bruins in the sense that it turns the pressure up on a guy like Murkulov or or

19:33Lysell, you know like

19:35but I

19:36Think his strength has been the biggest thing. I've noticed like he's stronger. He's smarter. He knows

19:42Where to cut when to cut?

19:45Plays he can make you know, like another guy too is winning faceoffs right now, which was not a certainty a year ago for him

19:52and so

19:54yeah, I I I think I'm kind of changing my tune on that now where I feel like I would be surprised if

20:01He didn't begin the year in the NHL and we're not even at the halfway point, you know, we're almost there, but we're not quite

20:09but right now like I

20:11Have a hard time sending some of these guys down which I think is exactly what you want

20:15If you're the Bruins, but like you got three or four guys that are making legit pushes right now

20:20Even Tyler Johnson like do I think he's been phenomenal?

20:23No

20:24but I think he's a

20:25Guy that can play left wing center right wing is a veteran like, you know

20:31Like he's made some plays that you're like, oh

20:33I'd like to have that as an option if I can I'd love to have that in the in the in the chamber

20:38you know as a potential bullet, so

20:41They're getting a really good camp. Like the results might not follow like last night's game was boring as shit

20:48Let's not sugarcoat it

20:50but I think

20:53Positionally and player wise you're getting a really entertaining camp in terms of battles and who's gonna go down and who's gonna stay up

21:01You got a couple guys that are saying I'm not going back down and that's that's a great problem to have

21:05I think if you're the Bruins while you try to sort through the the messiness of the Swayman stalemate

21:11yes, no, absolutely and obviously we're gonna focus a little bit more on some of the other younger players who

21:17We expect it

21:18We're going to make a push for the roster and Fabian Lysel and judging mark you up before we kind of dive into that tie

23:19Let's get back to the show. Once again, shout out to our good friends over at game time tickets. All right, Ty

23:25Looking at two guys that we were all were talking about before camp started Fabian Lysel, Georgie Murkulov

23:33prospects who have

23:34Legit middle six maybe top six potential further down the line at least going into the year

23:40Didn't show all that much especially Lysel on Sunday against the Rangers both took steps in the right direction on Tuesday

23:47Lysel gets the PowerPoint goal

23:49Murkulov sets up Justin Brazos goal at the net front

23:55But you look at their performance a step in the right direction, of course

23:59but then who is a bit Brad Marchand to I think throw a little bit of reality check of like

24:04You know pretty good isn't gonna be good enough if you want to beat out

24:09Patra or let alone a geeky or whoever else that Tyler Johnson a veteran who's on a PTO

24:15Who's desperate to keep his career going like you just can't have one solid performance

24:21To validate your spot in the lineup, especially a team like this

24:24Where are you at now in terms of either one of those guys?

24:27Maybe Lysel in terms of their odds of making the team. Is it gone down? Is it?

24:33Status quo like where are you kind of out of terms of evaluating those players? Yeah, I think

24:39personally, like I think I might have Lysel above Murkulov right now and that might sound a little bit crazy because of

24:46The production I think Murkulov has more has two points and Lysel has one

24:51But right shot right wing plays with speed

24:54Can probably sheltered a little bit more

24:57Murkulov like I think that so I loved how he finished the game

25:02Against the Capitals that assist was great. I hated his power play work

25:06I thought he made a couple of plays. He made one play. That was really impressive where he he's getting challenged

25:13By a Washington PK guy who's trying to close in on him

25:16He makes this nice spinning backhand pass to Hamperson home that leads to a shot on goal

25:20Then he's trying what I would call a HL type move

25:23Then he's trying what I would call a HL type moves where he's trying to thread it through two guys at once it gets intercepted

25:26And now you have a short-handed chance going the other way. It's not gonna work at this level, right?

25:30Like your brains got to move as fast as your body does

25:38Now with that said there was also something that Lysel did that I was like, nope that can't happen where you know

25:43He goes end to end and he gets a shot the shot

25:47Doesn't hit the net it goes wide it rims out and now you got numbers going the other way

25:51So both guys have things I got to work on

25:54I think right now I would have Lysel above Merkel off but not by much and

26:00I was admittedly surprised that neither guy played last night, and I know they played the first two games, but

26:06One of those things where it's like I would kind of give these guys

26:09Every game it that you can because you got to know you've got to have some certainty

26:14you know and a great example would be like you put Potter between Zaka and

26:19Pasternak I liked it. I thought they were good. I actually I actually did like that combo quite a bit

26:26But could you put Merc there for a game and just see like just see what that looks like just so, you know

26:33It's a potential option for you moving forward. Like that's something that I was a bit surprised

26:38we didn't see same thing with uh

26:40If the lineup has Morgan and geeky in it

26:43I kind of want to see Lysel there with him too because that could be a role for him

26:46You know playing with geeky on a third line role

26:49perhaps so a little surprise didn't get in because I but I got a I got a feeling we're gonna see them the rest of

26:55The way if not three of the remaining four games, I feel like yeah

26:59I feel like you definitely have to at one point see Lysel with Kiki if you want to have him be kind of a

27:03Guy that cuts his teeth on the third line and kind of builds a rapport that way

27:08also

27:08if you know Martian tries to get into a game if you're able to get a game with like

27:13Martian coil and Lysel just to see what it looks like like

27:16If there's any a person who is going to be very candid very upfront with how you're playing on the ice

27:22I'd love to see Lysel with a guy like Martian who is

27:26Preaches accountability has pretty much like thrown cold water multiple times in terms of like that's not gonna just be like a young guy

27:32Just because he's talented because he's skilled like he mentioned that

27:36Before camp even started about like, you know

27:38He can't dangle through three guys and be in a top six role and then on Wednesday again kind of not poor cold water

27:45But reaffirmed that like, you know

27:47Just one game isn't enough or even look at potter last year

27:50Like he had a really strong start and then he kept on stacking those games kept on stacking good practices

27:57Like that's what you have to do

27:58To try to beat out a few of these guys that like you've told me that they settle on like geeky

28:03And like a top six role. Is that the flashiest option? No, but like

28:08He can hold his own there with those guys like Frederick. We've mentioned before

28:12I think they want to keep him down the middle

28:14But like if you're trying to make them to like a shut down heavier line, and it's Martian coil Frederick

28:20They can kind of do that damage as well and be pretty effective in that role

28:23Like they have options the Bruins do in terms of yes

28:27It's exciting and fun to think about like a guy like my cell who's 21 on a dirt-cheap

28:33Contract being a productive top six guy and letting the rest of the pieces fall into place

28:37That's great

28:38Bruins would love if that happened

28:40But it's not a given and they have other options they just they don't have to like, you know

28:44Put a a square peg in a round hole if I sell it's either not ready or not showing enough

28:49to step into that spot, but I would like to see a guy like Lysell especially with

28:55Legit and you know NHLers and that's not to say that like because I know people were complaining that Sunday game where he was with

29:02Was he with Kepke and Farinacci and people like well, you got to put him with better players

29:05I wouldn't use it as an excuse like I want to see Lysell with a coil in Martian

29:10But also it falls on the player to elevate as well because I thought was the worst player on that grouping and that Sunday game

29:16like yeah, Farinacci was great at the dot and

29:19Kolkata he scored a goal like they stepped up for what they are and they're not

29:23Probably knocking on the door at the same rate that a guy like Lysell is so I think you know

29:28it falls on the player himself, obviously, but I do want to see what a guy like Lysell can do with these guys because

29:35I'm not saying this is like a

29:38Excuse or like a worst-case scenario, but it also feels like if if this isn't the time where you're gonna get an extended run

29:43I feel like you run the risk of if it's like, you know

29:46You give him one or two more games and you send under Providence

29:50Are you gonna go back to that? Well again in November, right?

29:54Like right that that is I think one of the risks you have and again falls on the player to fight through that

29:59But I'd rather you find out now what exactly you have. I'd rather you him play

30:03Three or all four of these next preseason games and see what you have before you make that decision

30:08Yeah, and the other part of it too is like why I may have Lysell over Merkel off right now was just the position

30:15Right wing. I mean behind Pasternak. What do they have right now?

30:19It's kind of a whole lot of unknown like yeah, you like Justin Brazzo, you know, Morgan geeky can play there

30:25but if you want to put

30:27Trent Frederick in the middle or if you want to put Matt Potter in the middle

30:32okay, well that's one less right wing option you have right and so I

30:36Think this team has a tremendous

30:39wealth of left shot wings

30:41right and that might work get work against a guy like Merkel of right now like right when when your bottom six has Johnny Beecher and

30:48Max Jones and you have Cole Kepke making things interesting you have

30:54Trevor Kuntar as well who I believe is a lefty. Sorry. Sorry if I'm not I'm not 100% on that

30:59But you have those guys down there it's like, okay, well that there's more bodies now competing for

31:04Opportunity whereas like right shot right wing that's been a need for God knows how long with this team now

31:10It feels like so

31:11You look at last year like they had they had JBR and Jake's brusque and intent and high and all playing right wing

31:16Those are all left shots doing that

31:18So there's such a positional need for this right that that's why I would put him above a guy like Merkel off right now

31:25Despite the results and despite Merkel off

31:27Looking like a better player in practice. It's just like what does the team need more than anything else?

31:33And and I think that's kind of why it's such an interesting scale and it's such an interesting

31:38Battle to watch here as camp continues to unfold. It's why Tyler Johnson was brought in

31:42I mean, he's a he's a right shooting guy who can play the wing and had 17 goals a year ago mainly in the power play

31:48Yeah, but he's a right shot right wing. They don't have a lot of those guys

31:53Yeah, no, absolutely. I mean for right now, where do you stand on?

31:56Do you think what do you what do you give the odds right now as again?

32:00We are not even maybe at the halfway point

32:02You got four preseason games to go where your odds of lifestyle making the making the roster at this point, you know

32:07I like I I try to put you on the spot. No, no, no, but but after all of this I still feel like

32:1440% like I'm not like oh, it's a slam-dunk. It's I just don't know because

32:18You know if the performance that he had on Tuesday

32:22Where he scores a goal or he draws a penalty and scores a goal and by the end of the game

32:26He's under their skin the capital skin that is, you know, like by by playing with speed and playing with pace

32:31I love his odds, but if he reverts back to what he was on Sunday

32:35Which has kind of been the mo like you can't you don't get consistent

32:39Performances out of him then that bumps down so he needs another game

32:43I think he needs a game or he has you know

32:46Two goals or he has a goal in the cyst like he needs a multi-point night to bump that figure over 50%

32:52Because they could say to him

32:53Okay, well you're still not in a finished product because that's what they that's what they stress

32:57that's what they emphasize whether we like it or not, that's what they that's what they stress and

33:02They can say you're too up and down like you got it gotta find that level man

33:06Like you got to be consistent. So until that's proven. Otherwise like that keeps him below 50% in my opinion. How about you?

33:13Yeah, I'm going at 35 right now and I think it all I think that can swing

33:18Quite a bit based on how he does in this next game because again as you said there is an mo

33:23There is a reputation in terms of the off and on production

33:27He's 21 like he still has room for growth

33:30But I think what that growth has to be at this camp with what's at stake and the minutes available

33:36His growth needs to be stepping in and building off of that performance. We haven't really seen that yet from him

33:42It's something that is tough to do like that's why it was so

33:46Shocking when Patra who everyone thought was gonna be playing the OHL had a good game when you know

33:52Let off all of our headlines probably that first game where he scored the goal. We go. Oh sure. It looks pretty good

33:57Oh, he's scoring two more the next game. Oh, wow. He look holy you need that progression for my guy that

34:03you saw last year in Patra and I still has all the talents do it like again, you even saw like

34:10After he scored that power play goal like the car. Yeah, I feel like he's a guy that's very

34:15Reliant on the confidence part of his game. You saw how much I think freed up he was after it

34:19So, you know

34:20It's one thing to score a goal and then feel good about your game and have rolling the rest of the way and be active

34:25Bring the puck down low

34:27Beat guys to lose pucks like doing the things that yes

34:30He's not a heat-seeking missile on the floor check at his frame

34:33But can use that speed beyond just trying to dangle through guys. You saw that

34:38as Tuesday's game went along but

34:41How do you carry that momentum not just from the rest of the game

34:44How do you carry it a few days down the road like that?

34:47That is what you have to do to be an impact player at least somewhat consistent

34:52consistently at the NHL ranks

34:54So I have 35 right now

34:56But if he scores another goal in the next game and he keeps on stacking these performances

35:00That can change in a hurry because the Bruins have options

35:02but again, I think the best-case scenario is a guy like myself taking that spot because there's a lot to like about

35:09The ceiling of that player if he proves over these next, you know

35:13week to ten days that he has the metal and the ceiling to be a guy that

35:18Maybe not this year, but down the road can give you 2025 goals

35:21Give you that speed that teams covet now, especially up front

35:24Like this isn't a guy that I think if you're the Bruins as you said earlier on you do your due diligence and give him

35:30304 these preseason games because now's the time to find out what you have in the guy

35:33You know what you have probably in

35:36Morgan Geeky, even if you maybe carve out in the expectation for a little bit more of a scoring output

35:41You kind of know what you have in Tyler Johnson

35:43you don't know what you have in Fabian Lysel and that could be a good thing or

35:46Bad thing depending on what kind of plays out, but let's find out right? I think that's the most important thing

35:52yeah, and the other part of it too is like, you know, I

35:56You know harken back to May when?

36:00Don Sweeney is talking about we got to get faster

36:03Okay, well he's probably you know, then you let to brusque walk and you trade Jacob Loco

36:08You lose a lot of speed and now you bring in Lysel. Like that's a fast guy

36:11And so I think you have to utilize that correctly

36:15And you saw that he you know, he draws a penalty. It's a trip

36:18It was kind of a I think it was kind of a crap penalty, you know

36:22It's a call in that moment, but he draws a penalty

36:25This team's gonna need to draw penalties a year ago after losing Loco. So if he can address some of that speed

36:31Drawing penalties and add the scoring. It's like you gotta have this guy on here, you know

36:37Yeah, no, absolutely. So we'll see how Lysel and a few other younger guys can kind of build their game moving forward

36:43Again for more preseason games to go

36:45We're not quite at the finish line yet for the start of the regular season

36:49But tie as we do gear up for October 8th in Florida, which I know you will be at
