In this edition of Zero Pucks Given, Matt Kalman joins Dale Arnold to discuss the Bruins season so far. They talk about the lack of competition for the forwards and how players are being given spots and not earning them. The Bruins have one of the best lines in the NHL with Bergeron, Pastrnak, and Marchand but Dale and Matt wonder if they should be split up to help with the other lines that are not contributing. Dale is also nervous about the Charlie McAvoy injury situation because the Bruins are being quite about the whole thing. They also talk about the Ottawa Senators players that were recorded in an Uber bashing the team.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this edition of Zero Pucks given, Matt Kalman joins Dale Arnold to discuss the previous season and what’s coming up for the Bruins. They open talking about the Bruins and Lightning series and what they could learn from it for next season.Tuukka Rask is the most polarizing figure in sports but he was not the problem against the Lightning. They assess the defensive pairings and the loss of Torey Krug. Can the Bruins live with two 5’9 defensemen? Bruins need to find a veteran left shot third pair defenseman and then choose between Grzelcyk and Krug. They discuss the importance of Chara even at his age 41 year. They recap the offensive lines and how the fourth line disappeared in the playoffs, how Riley Nash is probably going to leave Boston and who is going to fill in on the third line. Danton Heinen might find himself being traded, but he can be plugged into the top 9. David Backes had a lost season, but when healthy he was good. He’s not living up to the contract, he’s basically here for leadership, might n

After a week stuck in traffic, Ty finally makes his way back to WEEI headquarters and reconnects with Dale for another episode of Zero Pucks Given. They talk about the Black and Gold establishing themselves as a legit power in the Eastern Conference after a downright ridiculous March schedule, how the Tampa Bay Lightning — or any team, for that matter -- are no longer scary if you’re the Bruins, and why this postseason seems like it’s a true make-or-break kind of year for Tuukka Rask.
