Elias Lindholm

Yeah, yes, yes.

And that play, being in the right spot, having the chemistry with Middlestad and Lindholm at this point.

And it definitely is a pre-scout because Holford plays the puck a lot.

They did a nice job understanding they can't chase him because he does play it well, and they just allowed him to get it to him.

Yeah, it's impressive.

So good for James Hagans.

And now his line, you mentioned, along with Middlestad and Lindholm, have become, early on here, the line that you probably can't change.

Like last year's Zaka line.

And I think, Greg, I have the perfect solution.

You don't want to make a move that would hinder the playing time for a guy like Frazier Mitten, who you gave a contract to and is looking like an ascending player, right? You're probably going to keep Elias Lindholm in there.

Pavel Zaka's on the final year of his deal.

It seems like the right guy to move, it would be about half of Dylan Larkin's contract, so you still have to make the money work.

I think it's time to start messing with the lineup, including Power Play 1.

Hagens has made Middlestat and Lindholm combined for a formidable third line.

Unfortunately, I think we need to move him up to try to unlock some of the big guns.

I think they need his speed and creativity to unlock opportunities as they can't seem to break from their funks.

Um, uh, So I think that's another adjustment I might make.

I'm an agreement.

I don't want to change Elias Lindholm with Higgins and Middlestad.

I think they're really good right now.

Just like that at Lowe's.

what's up everybody and welcome into hibernation's after buzzer brought to you by the hockey podcast network in affiliation with don't puck with media and sponsored by draft kings now available in all 50 states your bruins had a game today against the chicago blackhawks at td garden with the final score of five to four in favor of boston in ot off of a stellar effort by elias lindholm on the net drive and an even better set of hands to send the bruins away with the victory the bruins now find themselves ten four and one on the season first in the atlantic Didn't think we'd be here, and based upon how the game started, didn't really think that we had a real good chance of winning that game.

I'm here with Jack, and we're going to break it all down for you.

That we are, Cam.

I was just thinking to myself, I've always said that Elias Lindholm is worth $7.75 million, right? No, you haven't.

That one I could definitely tell you that you had.

We both

He's playing a really strong game, and he's doing the things that makes him a good hockey player and doing it to his best, and it's helping our team.

Pavel Zaka is on the final year of his deal.

It seems like the right guy to move.

Um, It reminds me a little bit of the Calgary Flames team from about four years ago, the team that the Oilers ended up beating in the first round.

And that Flames team was primarily built one really top line, one of the great lines the last 20 years with how they all performed and like Goudreau, Kachuk, and Lindholm.

But that team was based on let's score the first goal, let's score the second goal, score the third goal, and around there, a 3-0, 3-1, 4-1 type of game.

And we're seeing that.

Morgan Geeky, whose brother scored against us today, had the game-tying goal for the Bees with 12 seconds left in the third-to-fourth overtime.

Then Elias Lindholm won it in OT.

Bruins 5, Blackhawks 4.

There were some line brawls in this game with Nikita Zdorov right in the middle of it.

And I think, Greg, I have the perfect solution.
