00:00Rip the Band-Aid off, move on from the last, you know, vestige of Bergeron.
00:06That was a long time ago.
00:07Chara.
00:08That was a long time ago.
00:09Rask.
00:09Yeah.
00:10Like, all these guys.
00:11Krejci.
00:11Just move on.
00:13And, you know, the coach is long gone.
00:16I mean, the original GM is gone.
00:17Sweeney's still here.
00:18Neely's still here.
00:19But, like, really move on from that.
00:21Yeah, I think it's time to rip the Band-Aid off.
00:23And extending Marshan for two or three more years does not do that.
00:27It's better than losing him for nothing.
00:29I'll grant you that.
00:30But it's time to rip the Band-Aid off.
00:32This is not...
00:33They didn't win enough as it is when they were all together.
00:36They're not going to win again.
00:37So move on.
00:39No one cares if he finishes...
00:40I don't care anyway.
00:41I shouldn't say no one.
00:42I don't care if he finishes his career in Boston.
00:45It doesn't bother me one bit.
00:46Yeah, since losing in the Stanley Cup Final back in 19, they've just treaded water.
00:51Now, they've had some crazy good regular seasons, but what does that really get you at the end of the day?
00:55Nothing.
00:55You're the Al Horford Hawks.
00:57So you lose like a heartbreaker in the Cup Final.
01:00And then you come back the next two years.
01:02You're out in the second round both years.
01:04Then you have two consecutive years where you're out in the first round.
01:07And then last year, you make it to the second round and you're out.
01:09And now this year, you're going to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
01:12You're also already on your third coach over that span as well.
01:16You don't really know what you're holding on to.
01:19Really, let's say they even sign Marshan to an extension.
01:23You come rolling back next year.
01:25How's everybody feeling about the team?
01:26What's the outlook of the team?
01:27Like, oh, they'll be fine?
01:29Why would they be fine?
01:30I don't know.
01:31I think you don't want too long of a rebuild or a retool or whatever else.
01:37But if you can maximize some of the guys on the roster right now where teams that are trying to win a cup are willing to overspend.
01:44They already overspent on Trent Frederick.
01:46Can they overspend on some of the other guys, namely Marshan, and try to get you in a position to really contend sooner rather than later?
01:53So I also feel like, Keith, they need to go way bigger.
01:56And this is kind of what you're talking about.
01:57They need to go way bigger than just Marshan, right?
01:59Like, if Marshan's back, there's more to be done.
02:01Yeah.
02:02So rip the bandaid off with Marshan.
02:04Get him out of here.
02:05He's had a great career.
02:06He's a great Bruin.
02:07He wasn't very nice to Keith recently.
02:09No, I will acknowledge he's one of the greatest Bruins of all time.
02:12He's a great Bruin.
02:13Like, I've made the argument before.
02:14Way underappreciated compared to his former linemate Patrice Berger.
