Brad Marchand got asked about Connor Bedard today.
ALT Brad Marchand got asked about Connor Bedard today. Reporter: Do you have any advice for Connor Bedard tonight? Marchand: “No, I don't." Reporter: What are you gonna say to him? Marchand: “Nothing. He's a great player. You leave a guy like that alone." Reporter: You came into the league as a relatively smaller guy, he's a relatively smaller guy— Marchand: “I’m bigger than him."

Pretty embarrassing that the Chiefs can’t even sellout their home opener after winning a title. Not a real sports city.

He's gutted. Bruce Cassidy grew up a Bruins fan. Loved everything about the city. Been with the organization for a decade and a half. Had the numbers to back it up despite management's repeated shortcomings. Fired after a one-goal Game 7 loss to division winner. Feels wrong.
Bruce Cassidy, via text, declined to comment on the Bruins firing him.
“It’s still very raw,” he said.

This is the experience.

Montgomery says there’s been a lot of times this season where he’s gone to talk to a player about how they’re doing mentally and asking where they’re at and the player says “Patrice actually talked to me about this, so I’m feeling better already.”

Favorite Khudobin story I've never found a way to work into a feature: Khudobin once explained to me in great detail that he tries to be an extra coach on bench. Was really proud of how he helped Carlo grow. I asked Carlo about it.
Carlo: "I never knew what he was saying."

I have no interest in doing this again. Rask broke his silence and explained the situation (didn't have to). It was a med. emergency involving his child. He put family first. If you can't accept that, you're a total psycho and I have no interest in hearing from you. Get help. 🤗

Torey Krug is a player everybody in Boston should absolutely, absolutely love. Wrestles with Perron for like a minute, loses helmet, kills Thomas, chirps at Binnington.

David Krejci sounds very emotional. Hat down real low, not looking at camera. Said he realizes this might be end for core. "Some of us have one or three years left. I don't regret coming into this bubble and fighting for the Stanley Cup. I would do it again."

Asked Lohrei about this tonight. "It seems like you can never rattle the guy. He's always smiling, always singing along to songs. It's relaxing. I see it and makes you remember it's just a game. He can go out there and play as well as he does and have fun, makes you do the same."

It was never a coaching issue. It was, and always has been, a bevy of personnel issues by the front office that couldn't draft for a solid five-year stretch and wasted millions in free agency.

Can absolutely tell how much it meant to the team that he was not traded. Leading up to deadline, Ullmark had a talk with Bergeron that made him feel better, and received a long text from Charlie McAvoy that made him very emotional.

There's been an extremely weird effort around the league to minimize, and even discredit, the man who is going to lead the league in wins, save percentage, and goals against average.
Friedman on TJMS: “The Vezina winner this year should be Connor Hellebuyck. I don’t care what anyone says. He just played 13 games in a row and got the Jets into a playoffs”.

Patriots being accused of cheating, Bruins have a defenseman being accused of attempted murder. Boston is back.
A caller to the @FAN590 Hockey Show just accused Zadorov of trying to kill Matthew Schaefer during last week's game against the Islanders and wonders why the league isn't stopping him. Seems a little dramatic.

The Patriots fans straight-up turning on their team that's won five titles in less than 20 years because they're 9-5 this year and were on the wrong end of two game-deciding, game-ending plays are actually mentally ill.
