The fighting a hundred and well what do it about right forty uses it or not I thought I was well what sort of a thousand some hundred media. Or it's. Amazing what I've I've agreed agree their two story nifty game recently when I was like. I know what it. I played I played for team in the world junior tournament and the Bruins and called me up and I got back from. Sweden and I had no hockey states. And misty gave me a dozen of his sure woods. And it was February get it while it was just an Eagles number. Although decapitate. Now. And I you know what I only two strands it to me on the line when asked you have I had wanted to the united five. Odd points and playing games with the Bruins before he sent me back to junior. But nifty was close enough to give me another dozen dozen states so I went back to junior worth thirty somewhat. Any news on your legendary superstar or artistic so everybody aware of the return of Matlock. Yeah it could never sit there. And satellites and now he's selling them is game used yeah Paniagua. I say anything. Mattered little richt is there anybody. When you think. Doesn't even necessarily need to be. Somebody that that you played live but is there anybody that you think is missing when it comes to a Bruin who should have their number reached. Oh I think there's there's plenty of guys that are missing you know tunes yeah and Shelby what we're let's say. You know you get so close when you're when you're playing with these guys guys like Jerry chambers on her plate what. We're dealing with cheesy and utter as a coach or five years. You know to try to keep reinsert muddled up to remember Frankie but I guess people fighting yet he's electrical gas severance or point two. So that was that mr. zero that was has been the girls. There. Well. You don't you don't cash right now cash was obviously he would you know my next one. I always says he was well tired dirty the first guy when I got to training camp walking the ball at a lovely Olivia Newton stretched are preparing tea and bill. Here at an annual assessment as CB I'll be a bit you know he was so fast and capture and yeah he deserves he was he was the glue of that teen beaten back in the early seventies when there are warning all trucks and you know so I think there's many guys so well. We're sure. William B mentioning Lyndon in your speech. No yeah. Wise I haven't. Where where government passed the downstairs in the closet. Your time that was definitely. A ambiguous August. 28 year half finished sandwich in the locker room and a member. That's at all. Well I don't remember about a sort of alternately. Looked at this if you have to look past there was never food in the locker room. There was a cooler blood was on top. Coors Light and acts Mellon was pitched and Coke cold on the blog for energy and I don't know what you're here so I did that. When you. And guys. Guys look at this is always amazing to me whether it's baseball and yet as there LB might manage he's he's talked about. Wayne Cashman doing this guy's he's the smoke our cigarettes in the locker room between periods is that right. Well not in the locker room off by it and they did before I got here probably around 7071. I think they saw that haven't let. Yeah they are actually small in between periods in the early eighties I snuck away just sort of relax catch my breath and now maybe this triggers a horrible apple obviously but I really didn't relate to three years. I was remember I was in the 81 Canada cup and I has that Abbott I was a little bigger outlook and to throw like he. I walked in the room and here's a look learn posse all lit up smoke should. They go right to. Yeah it's a man is almost graduated. There was or because. Rick is it is it possible for you to say who. Was yours who was your best coach on the bronze. Audio highlights. Yeah it really is hard to say and I'll I'll tell you why I've. Three of them you know that no Don cherry and Jerry universal Terry O'Reilly and too little more my teammates or anti. Dog and and always credited war. And showing it ought to be is an entire game of pro hockey when I was playing in New York they're really just want to underscore bold and go one way so. Austin I didn't really understand the defense and soul of the game. They've done was gonna throw that in the attrition of ice time so that's so our relationship started out but you know I thank them in the long run for doing that it's about time the eighty came and and she was supposed to I was just go to guy goes as planned 45 minutes a game double shifting power play's title until it. Really the only way but what the numbers are but it it was like getting that much time and then by either time he was the monetary. Came. Terry was you know it's such a great teammate crucial many years incredible that there it was just nice to have him behind the pension and his. LP could attest to he will he with a little action game. It's that it's about a war on every idea that eagle on furcal was here this if the. That he grabbed member of the brawl with the Montreal knuckles and tried to suck it up until the game we had that bench clearing brawl and has grabbed four. Like his head coach of the Boston and he really wanted the ice and all this material community that it was a big dude soon and as strong among the tip I could dump. If they can't people who what does that over. Six that your. I felt bad for the people behind this is the only country paying back last week no matter. Little. And what about do you do you have if you have to if you could only pick one. The only one gold we have one goal Rick Middleton that is that is your favorite as far as what you were able to. Yeah. There's an alternate and it doesn't get played less resolute during the generally helped turn it. In 84. Lonely bull we want it I was trying to guess the Swedes. And it was a close game when it goes I want on the first in the final minute. I just brought to the puck circle for the defense we'll go for a very stripped it that a little bit defenseless not one over the distressed when I was able. Floated in the corner. Circle who wanted to say we ended up going to beat them this game and inaction we want a candidate so. You know I've scored two in the in the playoffs and then some in overtime and they were all trading. Blue blue ones and the Bruins are so. First here we'll watch that we're playing for years in the spectrum that is. So big and it hasn't we will always a cup games are the winning goal. It has ducks and played regular who's talking was put tuning means. It was Citigroup but. Because the media there between the sacked the third period and overtime because you're gonna get the winner so is sarcastically like what they saw it must be playing right. The it does its. Air. And yet the winner the first game in the spectrum would Ginsburg declined and we what what are to win four straight and then go to assumes finals against Montreal. That was pretty special couldn't when it first big bowl which brought. Well if anybody deserves that you do LB is that year your biggest and third I know years of it's going to be it's going to be a great night to be at the garden and that number sixteen go up there and you know. What really special exactly what side of the guys that are up there. Really Terri Hamm cheap and expo in New York. So there's really special I hope they can all make it almost would argue that your right your was your club left so hotel which were my biggest regrets. So I'm I'm very excited normal. Well we're just hoping LB makes it went as it is is it harder than you don't make it to us open listen listen now in the top 300 snaps. Yeah Jersey look. Applicable to upload as soon. That's and I remember those who 2011 during the Stanley Cup. That's what you did that maybe you could turn during your speech as there as they're raising the Jersey gets headlight and turn it over to LB for a few moments.
