Felger: The Bruins need a roster shakeup – 3-4-24 Felger & Mazz

That that game on Saturday against the Islanders was a complete train wreck and again I I I sort of agree with um Montgomery after the game when he said you know he didn’t think he they considered pull a goalie but at the end of the day he didn’t think it was El

Mark’s fault I think he’s right for the most part oh not even close yeah right the defense in front of him was a disaster a disaster and this has happened over and over and over again here in the last few weeks there just there’s no compete in front of the net

It happened Thursday night against Vegas which you weren’t here Friday Mike did you think that was more like a good win for the Bruins or then blowing a 3oh lead and it was all the same crap all over it was more pants crapping definitely 100% they got lucky def did

Yeah and that you know the the front of the net stuff cuz we did we touched on it on Friday some of that is size and physicality don’t get me wrong but the other part of it is compete no there it feels like there’s something up with the

Team like uh it looks like they’re checked out I I I don’t know if they’re checked out Saturday was a checkout game certainly they quit I mean they didn’t show holy smokes Kyle pal Mar three goals in the first period so there’s something wrong there and is it guys

Looking ahead to the deadline is it uh Montgomery losing the room uh are there players who are checked out uh are there what I I don’t know how could I know I can only see what’s on the ice and what’s on the ice is a team that has

Something up with it and it could be uh you know like really bad and deep or could be nothing I mean it could be just whatever could be trade deadline Jitters or who knows the team could use a shakeup I mean like a real shakeup I I I

I don’t think there’s any way you know I mean whether you think they have a chance or not uh whatever chance you think they have I think the status quo is not going to get it done because clearly something’s off and and I’m not even just talking about they need

Another big defenseman to clear bodies or they need another guy to take faceoffs which they do I’m not I’m not even talking about X’s and O’s I’m talking about the the the makeup and Vibe of the team they they need a shakeup and the only way you do that

It’s not by trading draft picks to bring in players it’s by shipping guys out and it’s been I think the biggest failing of Don Sweeney or this group here is that they just have not made enough decisions on their own players they’re hoarders they just hoard these guys and

Hoard them and hoard them and they don’t want to get rid of them and they even bring them back Milan LCC and like they just they can’t help themselves so peel some of these bodies out of the room it it is time for Jake debrus or Brandon

Carlo or Matt grizzli or you know Lena Almar which you’re hearing more and more about uh so it’s time and if nothing else other than those guys aren’t producing or you know have proven they’re not you know good enough to take you deep into the playoffs to me I want

To do that to send a message to the guys that are left to say not good enough bodies are going to start we’re not going to just you know keep coming back with the status quo it’s not good enough you’re next something like that you know M put people on notice definitely there

There’s again to me the inability to police the front of the net police it like fight and compete is something’s got to change you that was pathetic give me fredman number two let’s hear some names and you look through their roster and you know like Jake de Bros

I really don’t like talking about him um because of the obvious family connection can we stop for a second I heard that what is that what’s that about what do does is fredman related to the debrus must be buddies with Louis or is like the father like a sacred cow up there

And he’s like a really popular TV guy there in Edmonton oh did you notice when you played out there do you know that Jake was Lou’s son I heard that you notice that he’s from there like barf trade trade Jakey to Edmonton and get him back with his dad and out of our

Face or you try that s nark with him I think that feels like a nice package there uh but what’s the so freedman’s afraid to talk about Jake depress because the family connection what family connection are you you don’t want to say anything about Jake cuz Louis is

Gonna Come poy in the Shaz probably like what do you I don’t get it I don’t understand that is is Elliot freedan related to the debrus I don’t know is his sister-in-law like close with Louis married to him married him what’s the family connection what’s he talking

About I don’t know go ahead he’s unrestricted free age um you know you take a look at some of the other guys grizz’s a free agent um you know there there’s there’s a lot of noise around Almar now one thing about Almar to know is that he has

A a half League no trade and during the middle of a season uh especially if you’re leaving a really good team it’s hard to see players agreeing to that right yeah yeah um so like I don’t like I don’t have any insight on on what elar might be thinking but it

Has been hinted to me by some other teams in the league that in midseason it’s going to be tough to get elar to alter his list I’ll stop it so if that’s real and I do think the Bruins have at least invested at it it’s got to

Be somewhere he’s already willing to go and so I just like I just think the Bruins are they are considering some things with roster players and we’ll see where it goes here but I don’t know what I want to put the percentages on here but they’re looking for senters

I think they do something on their blue line okay that’s Elliot frean they got three ufas on there okay enough a little deliberate what you say oh my God I was just thinking the same thing like wow it’s a podcast holy crap that’s the problem podcast spit it out of no no no

Podcasts all the time in the world put your feet up just a couple dudes just chitchatting here they’re looking at c y no just want to make sure we’re this is why you know they need help I’m telling you saying it on the blue line correctly

Don’t want to get any information I know you don’t like commercials out there they they they serve a purpose they they they make one on the air spit out their cake because we have to go to Commercial and then come back he is painful problem with podcast anyway my ass hurts just

Listening to it are we going to be held hostage by omark he doesn’t want to go to Edmonton oh please or any other Canadian team yeah make it clear to him he’s on the out and you know it works on don’t just don’t take no for an answer on that if

You’re the Bruins but I just uh long story short it’s got to be a hockey trade there’s got to be bodies out not just because you don’t have any draft picks left to deal you don’t want to deal your young kids you don’t have cap space it’s the only chance for your team

You got to shake the team up you you watch them on the ice that team needs a shake up so Shake It Up

The NHL Trade Deadline is this Friday and the Boston Bruins are expected to be big players around the deadline. Following the Bruins blowout loss to the Islanders, Mike Felger thinks the Bruins roster needs a big shakeup.
