Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bruins should be lauded for their youth movement
Q: Does the Bruins' negative shot differential threaten the sustainability of their strong start?
Haggerty says the deficit is modest and not a major concern given the team's goal differential, goaltending and ability to create quality chances. He expects the numbers to even out and suggests reassessing later in the season.
Bruins should be lauded for their youth movement
Q: Should the Bruins change their power-play deployment to give the second unit more opportunities and let Frederic Brunet run the point?
Haggerty says Charlie McAvoy will remain on the top unit because of his leadership and role, and the power play's results do not justify major changes. He sees potential for Brunet and the second unit to earn more opportunities when they are playing well.
Should the Bruins be shopping for a D-man?
Q: How can the Bruins look so horrible against Ottawa and then they look so dominant against the Utah team, went from one extreme to the other. Is this due to them incorporating the younger players? Because if so, the swing shouldn't be this extreme. How can they play more consistent hockey?
Haggerty and Dupont attribute the uneven performances to factors including a compressed training camp, a demanding travel schedule, goaltending and opponents in different circumstances. They say more games are needed before judging the team's consistency.
Should the Bruins be shopping for a D-man?
Q: Dupes, do you think Patra looks bigger and stronger?
Dupont says Poitras looks better but he cannot tell whether he is bigger or stronger. He says the next 10 to 20 games will show whether regular playing time helps him build confidence and establish himself.
Was Scratching Zadorov the Right Move for the Bruins?
Q: Is the Simon Edvinsson rumor a fit for the Bruins, and could a major defensive trade disrupt the team's developing chemistry?
Haggerty points to the Bruins' defensive depth as a reason they can hold players accountable without a major drop-off. Colageo praises Jonathan Aspirot's development and sees a promising future for him, while noting that the team still needs to keep improving.
