Great American Hockey Show with Joe Haggerty CSNNE

In Episode 22 of "The Great American Hockey Show" podcast hosted by Joe Haggerty and Jimmy Murphy, we try to figure out if there is any light at the end of the tunnel for the Bruins with their goalie situation in a very bad place.



Former Bruin Aaron Ward joins Haggerty to talk about his appreciation for Claude Julien as a coach, entertains us with a great story on captain (and defensive partner) Zdeno Chara, and makes a bold statement on how good Brad Marchand has developed into as a player. Plus, Ward has some insight to the injury goalie Tuukka Rask is dealing with.



Ward also discusses his relationship with "Toucher & Rich" and the "Cuts for a Cause" charitable event that he helped start.

Joe Haggerty and Jimmy Murphy sit down with Boston Bruins center David Krejci to preview the upcoming season. They also ask Krejci about his new linemates Ryan Spooner and David Backes, being a more vocal leader, and making a guarantee on where the B's will be this year.



Haggs and Murph also talk about impressive defensive prospect Brandon Carlo, and how he could be a big help for Zdeno Chara. Plus, could the Anaheim Ducks be a perfect trade partner for the Bruins to improve their backline?

Joe Haggerty and Kevin Walsh bring you an end of summer edition of the Great American Hockey Show. Haggs talks with Cam Neely about the Bruins new training facility, the urgency to sign Brad Marchand to a contract extension, and whether there's still time to add to the defense.



Joe and Kevin also talk about some players that could have a breakout camp, including Frank Vatrano and Brandon Carlo.

Joe Haggerty and Jimmy Murphy talk about the offseason for the Boston Bruins so far, particularly the signing of David Backes.



Also, interviews with Bruins blue-line prospects Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo and Matt Grzelcyk, and Harvard Hobey Baker winner Jimmy Vesey. #GAHS
