Haggerty's Thoughts On Trading Rask & Fan Brawl In Montreal
The Bruins have now won nine games in a row after they held on to and early 1-0 lead for the win over the Montreal Canadiens. Tim Thomas stopped 33 shots to record his second shutout in a row.
Joe Haggerty joined Toucher & Rich to discuss the win, the thought of trading Tuukka Rask and fans fighting.
Last week Haggerty and the guys discussed the thought of moving Rask around the deadline to get some value for him now. What if the Bruins were able to get a player like Zach Parise or Rick Nash?
"I think the thinking is with a Rick Nash with a Parise with any of those guys that it's somebody that can skate next to Seguin on that top line as a winger to him at center eventually and provide an unbelievable combo scoring wise for the next seven, eight, nine, ten years," Haggerty said.
"If Tim Thomas keeps playing the way he is and he wants to play another three or four years then he's your goaltender of the future. And your trading away a guy that could be very great and is a young assent he also played 29 games last year and didn't play any games in the playoffs," Haggerty said.
If the Bruins were to trade Rask would it mess with the chemistry in the locker room or do these guys understand how these things work?
Canadiens fans were so upset that violence broke out in the stands. The guys discuss the fight at the Bell Centre.
"I remember looking over because it was happening to our right over in the corner during the third period and you just saw haymakers being thrown by a bunch of different guys. It looked like two or three were working on one guy and tuning him up and kicking and punching him and everything else," said Haggerty.
