00:00But Scoops Keefe. Yes. With a tremendous impeccable track record. True. What are you hearing on the

00:06Bruins, Keefe? Well, what I'm hearing is this. First of all, what we can all see is that they're

00:10a mess on the ice, right? They've lost six in a row, but what I'm hearing is they're also a mess

00:14off the ice. Apparently the locker room is a disaster and David Pasternak is at the center

00:19of that. David Pasternak has told the team he doesn't want to be on a line with Brad Marchand

00:24and it may stem from Brad Marchand calling out Pasternak for some of his play

00:29throughout the year. So, Pasternak may be your best player, 60 goal score, all that stuff.

00:34Also, the main reason why it is a disaster inside the locker room. They won't play on

00:39the line together. Pasternak does not want to play with Marchand. And they're not playing

00:42together. Well, no. Well, are they getting any power play time together? Good point. I think

00:46they may have done that. This is what he is saying and so I'm sure the coach doesn't have

00:52to do everything he says, but that's what he's saying. It's shuffled the lines though. Pasternak

00:56is no longer playing with Marchand. It's Marchand and Coyle and Lindholm. And so that, wow. He

01:04doesn't like that Marchand was a little mean to him. That's on brand for this team. The coach is

01:08a little mean to you, Marchand's a little mean to you. But how I read that is, all right, Brad

01:12Marchand's the captain. He has seen plenty of times where Pasternak has either done something

01:18stupid in the defensive end or whatever else and has probably called him out on it. And I'm guessing

01:23he doesn't like being called out. Well, he deserves to be called out for last night. Again,

01:26offensive zone turnover on the power play, lazy, pointless turnover that leads to a shorthanded

01:33goal the other way. And instead of going up one, nothing, you're down one, nothing. And that's why

01:37you've lost five in a row. Maybe you could chalk it up as a player trying to do too much, or you

01:41could chalk it up to a player who just doesn't care. And so Marchand feels that way. If we're,

01:45if we're insinuating here, you're not reporting that, but Marchand feels a certain way about

01:49Pasternak and how seriously he's taking things. He's called him out. Pasternak doesn't like it.

01:53Pasternak doesn't want to play on a line with Brad Marchand, which you would think would be

01:59successful. Like, I mean, you can argue both ways, right? You could say, Hey,

02:03split those guys up to your better players and do that. Or like there are times where,

02:07you know, they would always, when you play them together and you'd hope to,

02:11whoever the center is on that line, you'd have really good success, but that hasn't been the

02:14case. So this isn't your report, but I'll word it this way. Pasternak and Marchand hate each other.
