Play from 0:01[0:01]" All I get everyone in the new love hockey season kicks off tonight in Denver Bobby's been it's been awhile here for the Bruins know they finished off in such a high note last year obviously losing in seven games but -- generating. A lot of activity a lot of interest in this team. Sure it's anxious to see with this team looks like starting tonight."

Play from 0:18[0:18]" And on and Dave Otto Bure as well I'm looking forward to it here it's it's it's been awhile coming in. And these guys they're excited. They want to build on what they did last year and they know that they they started something good and -- when it continues something good. The last few days have been. Kind of a mess with making those last roster cuts in other teams down 22 players. The get a look at look at it here tonight one of the yes of pleasant surprises of course Blake Wheeler know you talked on this morning a little bit we'll hear from more later on during the game but. He's going to be a little nervous and looks ready to get himself going down. You know on anxiously Patrice Bergeron to you you think about everything he went through last year and it'll only played ten games and you know you wonder what's he going to be able to come back and what it was going to be like Vegas police get a chance to see that -- he was nervous for his first exhibition game which was against the Canadians. Few weeks ago now -- had a few games under his belt but this is the first regular season game and this is of course that the truest of tests here forum today and you know he's excited he's he's got to be a little bit nervous and owners -- for the Montreal game but it is great to see him back out there. He'll be doing a little bit of everything you know they'll they'll have been there in the face -- face -- government there for a of course the power play plant some of the point on the power play so interest in the see how how well. How he meshes with with his line mates not climate but in the assessor and those situations like power players."

Play from 1:44[1:44]" You look down their roster that is a a lot of names you saw last year not a Lotta new names you know they by design stability not a lot of turnover and you know you look at the roster they -- the season with than a lot of the same names you're going to -- tonight."

Play from 1:56[1:56]" And I think that's a good thing anyway -- one guy that that. Won't be unionized letters Boca who got sent down at Providence unfortunately in this kind of a victim and number but it had a very good training camp he was one of those guys -- look at some of the of the young guys -- But you -- by design and David -- you certainly earn his spot last year and when Marc Savard went up her -- you -- great. Not only then that and other parts of season as well so he'll he'll anchor third line if you want to call that here today. But the line is more than capable of scoring rules he's going to play with Chuck Kobasew scored 22 goals last year coming off that broken late towards into the season would have been higher numbers there. And Blake Wheeler went on the left -- so excited the other line goes and that they've built this where you have three kind of scoring lines scoring threat lines. The turbulent future playing on the fourth line mystifying yellen and Shawn Thornton kind of checking line -- efficiency with all the numbers and good numbers that they've got the good competition. In training camp. You know they've they've got themselves an -- opera. For so season now it's on paper looked good great on paper looks good you gotta go out and be able to do the job."

Play from 3:00[3:00]" A -- the other goaltending shakes his cellphone and Lester Manny Fernandez only four game -- the start tonight but. Yeah I'd include Julie said the other day he'd loved to have -- kind of a one and a one a situation significant work out there. Those -- few goaltenders you know there are so."

Play from 3:15[3:15]" I'm Robert Luongo and Marty Brodeur of course and among others that that will play the majority of the season for teams. The ideal situation here in Boston is for both these guys to push each other Fernandez and Thomas pushing each other and to both get good quality starts and they can do and do some kind of platoon system -- hot -- for a few games of the rope but it. That schedule is you especially this first month is going to trial or you first four game draw on the road. And back home for one back on the -- for wearing on them finish the season or finish the a month out in Edmonton. Calgary and Vancouver and not an easy road trip there's you need to do two goaltenders to beat won't stay fresh and keeps a guys in front of you on your toes too because -- play in different ways. You guys say they don't play a lot different depending on the goalie but I think to do I think they're aware of who's in there may be different styles but it's up playing a little differently."

Play from 4:05[4:05]" Is or anything as you look at this game tonight you know we talked about kind of off fair Colorado in their goaltending situation we've got Peter who guy's gonna get the start tonight they cut ties with -- Jose -- he goes to Washington. What do you look for tonight what are you anticipating as we approach to face up."

Play from 4:19[4:19]" On new coach -- I don't new old coach remember what the coach a few years ago Wendell can joke and so was coach for the last three years in Colorado made it to the second round of the playoffs last season neutral -- they lost to Detroit who eventually was a Stanley cups so. -- deceit -- Tony -- handles this team his second time around what kind of style he'll want to play they made a number of changes last season bringing guys in especially on defense Adam -- was brought in Scott Hannan was brought in response away was credit to really revamp their whole defense -- It got some good skaters back there as well. And up front them you've always got the ever present threat of Joe -- you've got emerging star in sanctioning. -- he's healthy this season Brian Smith grizzled veteran players that game the right when they bring in Darcy Tucker he should keep things interest."

Play from 5:03[5:03]" Here today if well -- this the first we're sitting here in the the lobby hundreds not my idea yeah that is at the Marriott in cherry creek in Denver so this will be the first of many of -- Little preview Sierra online and level trying to and other more for everybody going to be on the Minnesota from here be curious to see -- goes on center. Looking forward to that by the way golf game yesterday there. It was pretty close between this thing -- about a stroke through what you did what did you finish yeah you'll waiting zeroed yeah.
