    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    My best guess is the Pats trade down, especially if they don’t see AD Mitchell as much different than Franklin, McConkey, et al. Wolff was talking about accumulating more picks, and he may see more value in adding a 3rd or 4th to slide down in the 2nd depending on their WR evaluations. I could...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    If the Pats aren’t enamored with whoever is left at 3, the Giants at 6 are an intriguing proposition for a trade. They could go McCarthy (Cards and Chargers aren’t taking him, but Vikings could move up), or pick up Nabers/Alt/Odunze, and then get back into the end of the first to snag Penix...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    The league’s rule changes (including the recent hip drop tackle ban) also have seen skinnier guys like Devonta Smith be targeted earlier by teams because the league just isn’t as violent any more. Skinnier guys may or may not be more at risk, but the fact the league is slowly turning it into two...

    NFL Draft - General Notes and Buildup

    I think it was someone at the Athletic’s recent draft that had the Vikings moving up to 5 to draft McCarthy. Interesting to see the correlation in rumors between the Giants allegedly looking at him at 6, combined with the recent Vikings trade to have two firsts.

    Bruins Acquire Pat Maroon

    I actually like this one. They are very young on the 4th line, and Maroon is someone very comfortable in the playoffs. They paid next to nothing, and in a physical series he’s going to be an asset. He’s one of those guys in the playoffs that your defenseman start looking for when fishing the...

    Bruins Acquire Andrew Peeke

    I would have preferred they do nothing. Athletic gave it a big fat "D", and as noted above, seemed entirely perplexed the Bruins would do this. Is there any stat that supports this other than "he's just 25"? He couldn't play for a terrible Columbus team. He's not going to play here all of a...

    2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

    I seem to recall Sweeney saying earlier in the season that he really didn’t want to trade away any draft picks. I’m ok with not doing anything, but I would guess they add a depth defenseman before the deadline and not much else.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    FWIW, odds are now -425 that Justin Fields gets traded to Atlanta. At the beginning of the week they were +250. Lots of smoke on Twitter as well about him headed to Atlanta.

    Blaine Lacher Passes Away

    Blaine Lacher had a formative impact on me despite him only being with the Bruins a while. I remember I had a Bruins bear my Dad had bought me, and I wrote in Blaine Lacher’s name on the back of the Bruins jersey and added his #31. I begged my parents to get me a Lake Superior State had, and...

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    5 games for Gallagher.

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Embarrassing for the league. Just a blatant elbow, and clearly intentional. You can see him size him up, and then he chicken wings him right in the face. Pure intent. He needs to be suspended 10 games for that crap. Can't wait for the $5,000 fine announcement. Just a joke.

    Milan Lucic arrested after domestic incident - on indefinite leave from Bruins

    I know I’ve had this tag line for a while, but would anyone mind changing it in light of the charges? “Going Lucic on his ash” has a shitty meaning now that I don’t want to be associated with. Terrible actions by Lucic. He should be cut.
