Imagine landing Crosby as a guest and waiting 49 minutes to play the clip like he’s Shaun Thornton

I didn’t listen to it, so I’m not really impacted. Those guys stopped being entertaining a while ago. I guess I’m just piling on for no specific reason.

My jumping off point:

I still haven't gone back after their first episode after the last cup game was 15 minutes about the series and the rest was an interview with a recently retired Bruin. Deleted.

Again, their coverage of the final cup game was a cursory mention of Pittsburgh beating Nashville; then the bulk of the episode was Shawn Thornton and all the exciting things he's doing in the Panthers front office.

After listening to what is conclusively a Bruins podcast all year I signed off after that. They have some cool moments but like 80% of their content is drivel.

Maybe they've changed since then, but this 49 minute thing makes it sound like...not so much.

I understand. Figured some might want to hear Crosby open up a little (even - gasp - curse!).

that thornton episode was insane. i don't even know who that interview was for. even if you're a b's fan...how could you possibly care? it's like if dupuis got an office job with the Wild. raise your hand if you're interested in a filibuster about that.

I like that even when swears he does it in a hushed tone like he's going to get in trouble.

I caught that as well

it was interesting to hear him just talk with friends rather than the robot interviews

See. You say that’s it and that you’ll stop, but before you know it you’ll be giving a guy a handy just to watch clips of the Beauty League in standard definition on his phone.

Jesus. Even I knew that.

Juuso Valimaki tore his ACL, so apparently the Flames are looking to trade for a defenseman. I would very much like this to be Pens related.

They're in cap trouble more than we are...

They need to sign Mangi, Tkachuk, and add a d-man with less than $8 million in cap space...

Johnson for Frolik? But that's $54 million in 14 forwards...

Would have to move Rust for sure and I don’t know who else honestly.

Hypothetical for everyone (with lots of ifs):

If you could get someone to take on JJ’s full contract if we included Rust and a mid level prospect....

with the plan to sign Jake Gardiner on a one year prove your back isn’t F’d deal, do you do it?

The D could look as follows:

Dumo Letang
Gardiner Schultz
Petterson Gudbranson
