00:00This is a fan base that has always loved the fourth line, has always wanted the fourth line to be really good and productive and

00:06you know, knows the fourth line. This seems to be with good reason though this year. Those guys

00:11every night seem to be one of the most consistent lines they throw out there.

00:16Super exciting to see that.

00:19And you're right, it is such a blue-collar fan base. The fourth line is a pride of joy

00:24I think for Bruins Nation a lot of times.

00:27They love them being big and strong and physical and tough and getting it on the floor check.

00:32And that's what this group, the three of them, have done since the start of training camp.

00:36You know, the first game of pre-season Mark Haslick must have gotten 19 scrums in the first pre-season game

00:42and it hasn't ended. And it's translated into points for them early on, which is what a bonus.

00:49What a huge relief for those guys because a lot of times you can be on a fourth line and not get

00:55opportunities and it takes you three weeks to get on the board and you start to get nervous and frustrated.

01:00But for them to get the success early, playing the way they are and

01:04continuing it now through five games is huge, not just for the team

01:08but for those guys and you can see that their game's only going to grow now from that.

01:13So it's really important and we know, listen, the big thing is, right?

01:18We know how important that is in April and May and that's the big one.
