Boston Bruins Hockey

DJ, Joe and Pete are in for another edition of Sunday Skate - the first show since the trade deadline last Monday. The guys discuss a huge week for the B's. They were able to get a win against the Blackhawks and OT loss to the Caps. Pretty solid case for the fans to have some hope and maybe get won over by the team again, but DJ warns that things could still get ugly quickly considering their upcoming schedule. The guys also discuss the Ovechkin hit on Kevan Miller that sent him out of the game never to return - Pete thinks the punishment fit the crime with the penalty he received, but DJ and Joe think it was a little dirty. This leads to a disagreement about the value of Miller as well.

The boys continue talking about the future of Loui Eriksson and the Bruins with the trade deadline right around the corner.

It's a huge morning for Sunday Skate with the NHL Trade Deadline a little over 24 hours away. What are the black and gold going to do with Loui? Trade hm, extend him or bite the bullet and keep him without having an extension in place? DJ, Pete and Ken kick around their opinions and get some opinions from callers and texters. It's the first major decision of the Don Sweeney era and could go a long way to determining the future path of the franchise.

Following the Bruins 5-1 win over the Penguins, DJ Bean joined Mike Mutnansky to talk about the game and also speculated what the Bruins might do at the deadline.

DJ, Joe and Pete kick around some ideas for the future of the Bruins in the midst of a strange year for the team -- they are not playing consistent at all and continue to lose at home, yet they are still in the hunt for a decent playoff spot. They discuss the various possibilities with the roster including Connolly, Eriksson and Chara.

DJ, Joey Mac and Pete kick off another edition of Sunday Skate discussing a big victory for the Bruins last night over the Stars. They talk about how Marchand and Tuukka have been on fire as of late. The boys also get into a good conversation on Loui Eriksson, his contract and what will happen going forward along with a general look at B's contracts and the salary cap. Joey Mac likes the way McQuaid got the team fired up last night by dropping the gloves which leads to a discussion on the role of fighting in hockey.

DJ, Pete and Ken continue their discussion about the direction of the Bruins and how some of their moves are ambiguous and tough to figure out their thinking. Are they going for it all or rebuilding. Again, DJ appropriately calls it a "soft rebuild." They talk about acquiring Beleskey as well as Brett Connolly's recent play. Also, the boys talked with Arpon Basu about the spiraling Montreal Canadiens.

Arpon Basu calls the boys to talk some Canadiens hockey and why they have been on the downward spiral for quite some time now. He talks about the malaise around the team in the locker room and the fan-base, his thoughts on the NHL Playoffs and the state of the Bruins vs where Montreal finds themselves. Arpon goes as far as to say that today may be a "make it or break it" game for them against Carolina.

DJ, Pete and Ken get into the recent play of the B's and what they should be thinking as the trade deadline approaches. What direction is this team heading? This leads to a discussion on Loui Eriksson, what he brings to the table and if they should make a move.
