In this episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren discusses the Bruins' curious decision to recall Max Jones and Patrick Brown instead of promising prospects like Georgii Merkulov. McLaren argues that Merkulov's impressive AHL performance and power play prowess warrant an NHL opportunity, especially given the Bruins' struggling offense. The podcast also previews the upcoming game against the New Jersey Devils and examines the tight Eastern Conference playoff race. McLaren highlights the Bruins' precarious position and emphasizes the importance of every point moving forward. The episode concludes with a brief mention of key Bruins players participating in the upcoming Four Nations break and teases future discussions on potential trade candidates.
