Kyle Bukauskas

healthy again and feeling good about ourselves, we'll be ready to go in the fall.

That would almost be more concerning.

The fact that he's going, there's more underneath the surface that needs to be corrected here.

I can only look at that as the healthiest way to look at it if you're actually going to make change that's going to do you good because it's no secret, whether it's contractually or just simple, the way

the passage of time works, you're starting to get in a situation where you're up against the clock a little bit, right?

The two-year extension for the captain kicks in next year and just nothing is guaranteed going forward.

So instead of trying to sweep anything under the rug to be able to sit there and go, we took a step back this year and we need to have a good, hard look and honest conversations internally about how we're going to go about fixing it.

That's the only way you can actually tangibly make the type of improvements that they are looking at trying to make.

So I look at that as probably the best thing that came out of an otherwise disappointing season for the oil.

All right.

So the Oilers season is over.

The Boston Bruins season is over.

They had one year without playoffs last year.

picked themselves up off the mat, had, I think, in a lot of ways, a pleasantly surprising season.

The way Marco Sturm went about things, his first year as head coach, seemed to really work in a lot of cases for the Bruins.

But now...

The offseason has begun for them, Elliot.

We heard David Pasternak make no bones about the fact that he's not getting any younger and is still chasing that one extra game that they weren't able to win back in 2019 when he was still very early in his career back then.

What's the outlook for the Bruins?

No question.
