And let us fight back for you.

Keith Bruins blow out.

Wow.

Captain America, Connor Hellerbuck,

and the Winnipeg Jets last night, six to one.

Yeah.

The-the kid they traded for at the trade deadline,

I keep saying, Swini did nothing at the trade deadline.

Yeah.

Did something.

I stand by that.

But the kid they traded for last night,

goal and an assist in his first game

with the Bruins Swaman, good again.

Uh, so a good win for the bees last night

and what I thought was a scheduled loss.

I know, first home game back,

although they're really, really good at homes,

maybe doesn't apply to them as much as it does other teams

or other versions of the Bruins in previous years.

Because we were overall left a little disappointed

with the road trip because of the way

the last couple of games went.

But they did get four points

and then the bounce back and get two here at home

where you have Swaman versus Hellerbuck.

And even though it's Hellerbuck, Winnipeg's not good.

Winnipeg's not a playoff team.

We highlighted this during the Olympics.

How kind of crazy it is that these guys are playing

at the height of hockey competition,

all these stars and how many of these guys

are even going to be in the playoffs.

Like so many of these guys aren't even playoff,

uh, are going to be in the Stanley Cup playoffs this year.

Hellerbuck being one of them.

But yeah, the Bruins get on the board

and then really, uh, just added,

added up to it and the, uh,

just kept getting better and better

and crews to a win, good game by Swaman.

And, uh, yeah.

I mean, that's a nice win.

They needed those points trying to stay in the top eight.

I was looking at this too.

They had the updated playoff watch.

Oh, yeah.

You know what their playoff chances are percentage wise.

Well, I think it depends on where you look.

And the, I was looking at this the other day.

Uh, so, you know, your money puck.

I like a good money.

Money puck.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You stick around for the money puck.

Uh, hockey stats.

The athletic.

They all have different models,

which, which model were you, uh, looking at?

I was looking at.

Uh, ESPN.

Okay.

What, what do they say?

So they say they have a 57.4% chance of making the playoff.

Okay.

That's similar to what hockey stats have the other day.

Money puck's higher on them.

The athletics lower on them.

That is pretty crazy because I think they have the ninth

or 10th most points in hockey.

Yeah, their points pace is 99.8.

So let's go at 100 points.

That should be a playoff team.

Yeah.

Um, but yeah, they're still giving Detroit,

who they play next, by the way.

Uh, Detroit has like a 42.5% chance.

Uh, Columbus has, um, no, not Columbus.

Columbus is really high.

They're 85% chance.

Well, they hopped into the division last night.

Got it.

Okay.

So that changes things a little bit for them.

Um, but yeah, you're looking at it right now.

The Bruins are tied with Detroit with 84 points.

But that's also the same number of points Montreal has.

Although they've played one fewer games.

So they're, they're the third seed right now.

The game at a hand.

So all those teams are, are sort of tied.

And so Columbus took over the Islander spot.

So for a while, we were kind of keeping tabs on what the blue jackets were doing,

which I think we still can.

But now also the, throw the Islanders into that mix as well.

They have 83 points.

So just one back of the bronze.

So this is outdated because it was written before last night's game.

Okay.

But this might answer your question, Dick.

You said the Bruins have the ninth or tenth most points in hockey.

Yeah, I think it's eight, ten of the top 13 are in the Eastern Conference.

Okay.

So that's part of why the other part is the Bruins have a difficult remaining schedule.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm reading here from NBC Sports Boston.

The B's have the league's toughest remaining schedule prior to last night.

So maybe this changed overnight.

Don't yell at me if it did.

Uh, according to the tank of thought, seven of their last 14 games.

So again, I'll make it seven of 13.

Uh-huh.

Are against playoff teams and eight are on the road.

And that number remains in place because last night was a home game.

The Bruins play as you just said, Keith, the Red Wings on Saturday.

They play the blue jackets twice more in Columbus, including the second to last game of the year.

Yeah.

They also play the Atlantic Division leading Tampa Bay Lightning two times.

So that could be part of it.

It's not an easy schedule down the stretch for the Bruins.

Yeah.

And the case here from Nick Goss.

The Buffaloes now up on Tampa.

Oh, they are in the division.

But yeah, but the point's still there.

Okay.

So sorry.

So when this was written Tampa on top of the division, uh, Nick Goss's point was about Jeremy Swaman down the stretch.

Who again played well last night.

It helps when you get six goals.

But he's played really well since he was coming back from the Olympics.

I mean, he has.

I hated that he didn't suit up for the first game.

But when he's been out there, he's been good.

And he's been really good since he's come back from the Olympics.

He wasn't good in the Olympics.

But since he's come back, he's been really good.

And so the question that NBC Sports Boston was discussing is how much do you lean on him down the stretch in these what were 14 games counting last night.

Now 13 games left.

He says, Swaman is the sixth highest paid goalie in the league.

And he's performing at an elite level, which I feel like is back to the old sway back to the old sway.

I would question if he's playing at an elite level this year, but right now he's playing great.

Yeah.

It's time for the Bruins.

He makes the case to rely on him almost every game the rest of the year.

That means starting him 12 or more of the last 14.

So now it's 13 games left.

So they have two back to backs in there.

Oh, they have three.

Oh, I thought it was two.

So they play the 24th and 25th.

They play the 28th and the 29th of March.

And they play the fourth and fifth of April.

I'm sorry.

And the 11th and 12th of April.

So they four back to backs.

Am I looking at the wrong team?

No.

I'm like, am I looking at the wrong schedule?

Is this article just completely wrong?

This guy's wrong.

Yeah.

They've a lot of back to backs.

That's why I don't think you can do it.

Hold on.

Hey, I had a right about that.

Oh, contrary, I'm on frayer.

I think you don't want to play any of those back to back.

So I would say take those ones out.

So what did we say?

How many games are left?

Do we have that number correct?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know.

Double check it.

I think it's 13.

So have them play nine.

The Bruins have 14, including two back to backs.

You wrote before last night.

That's not right.

I mean, if I have no calendars, I feel like I have no calendars.

Tuesday is followed by Wednesday.

Well, that screws up the whole point.

The whole article is 2425, 28, 29, 45, and 11, 12, 45 and 11.

Yeah.

Oh, this is back to back.

How is he talking about?

Throw the scinerator.

That call.

That call he doesn't always talk about.

He's a little ESPN hockey.

Yeah.

Yeah.

NBC's worth buzzing.

So, okay.

So there's 13 games left and four back to back.

I think it's easy.

So he should absolutely play nine of those based on my math.

I'm going to play any back to backs.

No.

Why?

What about keeping fresh of the days?

What about 11 and 12?

He shouldn't play those at the end of the year.

Well, let's see what they're at.

All right.

If they have a playoff spot, then no.

I think that's when where you can adjust it.

But like, for example, I think he plays tomorrow against Detroit.

I would sit him Tuesday against Toronto, because they stink.

Play him against Buffalo.

And then play him against Buffalo is good.

Yeah.

And then from there, you would sit him against Minnesota,

play him against Columbus.

Yeah.

I think it's kind of easy, honestly.

You sit him.

No.

Then I play him Dallas.

I play him Florida.

I play him Tampa.

I sit him for Philly.

Then I play him Carolina.

I play him Tampa.

No.

And maybe you need him in that back to back.

Tampa and Columbus.

Maybe.

So we're talking nine, ten more starts for Swamen.

Yeah.

Okay.

I think that's the right number.

We think he's going to play all those or is he going to need a game off in the middle?

No.

I think that's still decent.

That's probably what the pace they originally wanted.

If it's not this state.

If it's not too much.

But if it's not a back to back, he should play.

We do agree on that.

Right.

Down the stretch there in that spot.

Yeah.

Well, I hope he does.

I haven't clenched a spot yet.

So he should be playing a lot.

He needs to be one of their guys that carries them in there.

I think he will.

That would put him by the way at 55 or 56 games this year.

What was it last year?

I should know that.

I believe it was higher.

I'm double checking.

Yeah.

He was at 58 last year.

So right for starts anyways.

Okay.

So that'll put him right around a similar pace from a year ago.

A little less than that.

I think that makes a lot of sense.

And you'll get the most out of him doing it that way.

I don't think you're all of a sudden.

You're like, hey, let's slip a switch and have the guy play the rest of the season.

I don't think that's going to happen.

I mean, when he was at his very, very best.

He was splitting time evenly.

That's not the case.

He gets the big contract.

They don't have a great backup.

So yeah, I think that should be expected that he plays nine out of those 13.

And maybe 10 depending on where you are.

If it's a must win game against Columbus,

the second or last game of the season, then that's a no-brainer.

Then he comes right back and plays him out.

Well, he's got bad wings.

Like, Tuka back at...

Oh, bad wings.

I thought you meant like a...

That was a myth.

Chicken wing.

That was a myth.

Yeah, yeah.

That wasn't them.

I just went last weekend actually, by the way.

Did you?

Yes, delicious.

Sick bread.

I like bread.

I love buffs.

And the girls love wings too.

Bone in wings.

Not like you, not at the kitty table with the-

Well, I prefer the boneless, yeah.

So we're there.

We're there.

And it's got that we got the six year old, the three year old, and then me and my wife.

And they were like, well, I've wings and whatever.

And even the waitress was like, bone in?

Oh, yeah.

Then the three year olds just like going to town on these bone in wings.

To get your own.

Yeah, we all got our own.

If I'm by myself, I'll eat them in shame.

And with all the mess.

But yeah, if I'm at a restaurant.

I mean, I'm in the boneless.

I obviously got Buffalo wings.

Yeah.

And so I want to go.

I'm like, is there anything on my face?

Kay's like, oh, you're fine.

I get in the car.

I look in the mirror.

It is a ring around my mouth of orange.

It was disgusting.

I'm like, you know what?

I give you like a heads up on that.

My whole mouth looks like it was painted on.

Like a psycho.

I was like, uh, hold on.

All right.

So they have four back-to-backs.

CC NBC Sports Boston on that.

They have four back-to-backs.

Yeah.

And I want to update that article.

And so he should play nine or ten games.

If you have to finagle that last back-to-back,

uh, against Columbus and Tampa, then go ahead and do it.

But he should play in every other game.

And it even still is 56 games.

Is that enough for what he's getting paid?

I mean, I have to look to see where like that-

No, not on any chill.

Probably.

Yeah, I was going to say, where does that rank amongst, uh,

other goal tenders games played?

I mean, maybe.

That might, that might be all right.

There's a few guys that are already in the 50s.

I think mostly are in the 40s right now, uh, as the season stands.

So, I don't know.

I don't think it's that bad.

Uh, yeah.

He's behind the pace of guys like Vasilevsky, Thompson, guys like this.

Uh, so look-

It's like one game behind those pace.

Yeah.

I feel like he's been on a pretty good pace, assuming he gets to that number,

assuming he gets to that game.

Yeah.

And he had a long break at the Olympics.

I know he was there with two team USA.

But he had a long break at the Olympics.

He barely played.

And the game he played, he basically took off.

He was giving up pucks from out by the red line, uh,

or goals rather from out by the red line.

So to me, it's a pretty good pace for him, uh,

and it seems like he's playing his best and the Bruins are going to need it

if they're going to find their way into the post season.
