    Game 1 - The Payback

    It’s going to be a short series if Florida isn’t willing to pay a price to control their net front. Need to keep piling it on. Bob is a front runner. Get 2 in the 3rd and I bet he is a sieve in game 2.

    Game 1 - The Payback

    Bruins are going to put 3 in this period. Bob is going to fold his tent from the lack of net front support.

    Round 2 Bruins-Panthers

    Eye test matches the card. Looked like a different player on D. Took good angles on D and was not hesitant. During the season he seemed to try to take away the puck with his stick. He probably got away with that in juniors and college. Last night he was getting into the puck carrier with the...

    Game 7 - We Win

    I was in the building in seats above the sports deck. Had to be the best seats in the house to watch that unfold. I am 100% certain Lindholm was playing for that carom. It felt like I was watching that unfold in slow motion. Most of the 1st 2 periods Pasta seemed like he was missing his burst...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    What are the players going to say about the ice publicly? They'd come across as whiners if they want to complain about the ice. Both teams play on the same surface. It's not like Toronto was built to be a heavy on the puck bunch of grinders. I'm probably out on a limb by myself, but I don't...

    Game 6 at Toronto

    Nickelback is the obvious choice there.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I’d tell the team to pack for a multigame road trip. If they come back for a game 7 move them right into a hotel. Need to change the pattern. Sleeping in their own beds hasn’t done anything for them. Linus gets the net. Beecher and Lauko back in. I’ll go against the grain and keep Maroon over...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    How are you possibly getting that from my post? I say I take Mookie at his word and your take away is that. Seems you are spoiling for a fight and looking for reasons to fight everyone on the board.

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    I see no benefit to him lying at this point. He’d better off just saying he’s moved on and doesn’t want to talk about the past if his willingness to sign in Boston was a “lie”. All he did leading up to the trade was say he wanted to get paid fairly and it would be a business decision. He...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    My take away after getting caught up is there definitely an appearance of an anti-Bill agenda. I don’t think any of that really moves the needle on anyone’s view of Bill. Whatever hand Kraft played in that didn’t do himself any favors. This hasn’t been flattering to him in the least and I...

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    Using the bolded as a jumping off point and not specifically about Jake. Does anyone feel that this team is exceptionally well conditioned? My uniformed suspicion is that some of their issues with closing out games and OT success lies with their conditioning. Definitely not everyone, but...

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I may be alone in this, but I do think there has been some improvement with Jack the last few weeks or so. The low point seemed to be around the holidays and then leading into when he was off for a few days. The problem is the improvement is not near enough for them to commit to him for next...

    I Don’t Know How Game Threads Work

    What are these guys looking at. “Went there on his own”. Clearly pushed.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I was surprised it wasn't a double minor. Stick swung at the head should be an automatic max fine at a minimum.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    It's not the same thing, but I think back to when Cam Neely was getting back on the ice and seeing if he had enough to make a comeback. The irrational hope that he could make it back made it all the more crushing when he couldn't make a go of it. I'm not going to let myself buy into a Bergy...
