00:00But your captain is benched in overtime.

00:02He's always out there in overtime.

00:03He's usually out there in a shootout.

00:05I wouldn't say that's 100%.

00:07With Montgomery, I would have said it was 100%.

00:09I don't know Sacco's pattern as well yet.

00:11Cassidy used to shake things up a lot

00:13and he'd throw you weird combos.

00:14With Montgomery, it was like 100%

00:15he was out there in the shootout.

00:16He's always out there in overtime.

00:19Your captain was benched and he wasn't hurt

00:22according to the coach.

00:22It was the coach's decision.

00:24The same captain who, the best player on the team

00:27doesn't want to play on a line with

00:28according to Scoop's Keith.

00:30But nothing to see here, Keith.

00:31Nothing weird going on with this team.

00:33Everything's fine.

00:33They're best buds.

00:34Maybe if he puts a few more Instagram pictures out

00:37of the team having a good time

00:38and or games that they had won in the past,

00:40maybe that'll help them a little bit.

00:42It seemed like that two-game surge was short-lived.

00:47That six-game losing streak was maybe more

00:48kind of what this team is right now.

00:50Do you know that as of today, Jones, January 20th...

00:54I was just looking this up.

00:55You were looking at the standings?

00:56They're not a playoff team.

00:56They are not, correct.

00:57As of right now, they're not a playoff team.

00:59I don't know how much you look at goal differential.

01:01You can take it or leave it, maybe.

01:03But at this point, there are 47 games into the season.

01:05Everybody has played, give or take, 47 games.

01:08In the Eastern Conference, only one team

01:11has a worse goal differential.

01:12So that's interesting.

01:13I was going to say this.

01:14The eight playoff teams all have positive goal differential.

01:17Yeah, but the Bruins have these...

01:19You're right.

01:19The Bruins have the second worst in the Eastern Conference,

01:21only ahead of John Henry's Pittsburgh Penguins.

01:23That's right.

01:25So they have 50 points.

01:27They've played 47 games.

01:28Montreal has 50 points.

01:29They've played one fewer game.

01:31So the Bruins have a game at a hand there.

01:33They are playing the worst team or the second worst team

01:35in the NHL today.

01:37So you've got to get two points today.

01:41You have to.

01:41Home game against the San Jose Sharks.

01:43And they did at least get a point against Ottawa,

01:45but they should have had two.

01:45They did, but it's costly.

01:46They should have had two.

01:47And they gave the Senators two.

01:50They should have had two.

01:51So in some ways, it's almost a three-point swing.

01:53And you screw all that up on Saturday.

01:56So we'll see if they rebound.

01:57Well, even the Florida game,

01:59they should have blank...

02:00Florida shouldn't have gotten even a point in that one.

02:02That's another one where you handed it out.

02:04Yeah.

02:04So it's the reason why it is difficult to make up points late in the year.

02:08Oh, yeah.

02:08Is because the NHL hands out loser points, pity points...

02:11All over the place.

02:12And it's impossible to catch up.

02:13And that is going to work against the Bruins going forward.

02:15Right now, they're in 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
