    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    They were also home underdogs in that series. I give that team credit for pushing Carolina to 7. They almost got it to OT as well IIRC.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Those teams do have much better players. But your overall point about choking in close out games is evident. It’s an organizational problem and has been for years. They’re much better off being underdogs on the road then they are favorites at home, and it’s something that I’m sure that they’re...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Yes I think that is what they were looking for in Maroon. Along with his forechecking ability when 100%.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I think it’s the mentality of players that they like to acquire. Good guys that really care about winning, good in the community etc. Great guys to have in your organization representing the city. Problem is guys like that tend to tighten up in big games. They could use a couple of dick heads...

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    This is now the second playoff series he’s fucking up. If this goes south, he shouldn’t get a third. In fact no matter what happens in these next two games, they should rethink Jim Montgomery.

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Not really sure what the fuck Montgomery was thinking with this one. That’s absolutely fireable.

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    That’s pretty much it. They get really tight at home. That’s why a guy like Mark Recchi was so valuable to that 2011 team. Veteran voice that would tell the guys “fuck these guys were winning this” instead of the guys on the bench thinking “we’re fucked” as soon as a puck bounces and the crowd...

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Except for that cup and three finals appearances in 8 years before this recent spell. Look do they choke a lot in the playoffs historically? Absolutely. Do they have a flawed roster? Yes we knew that going into the season, many of us picked them to miss the playoffs this season. Is the coach...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    It should be Swayman’s net as long as he’s 100% healthy for the rest of the series.

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    All I meant by that is if he was 25, maybe there’s a chance he can improve defensively enough to play an adequate MLB outfield and change my mind about his value to the ball club. At 30 years old he is what he is.

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Yes. I don’t think he provides much value to this club. He has no position, and he’s on the wrong side of 30. I would rather have a replacement level bat that can field 3b well and allow Devers to DH every day. And yes, with the potential 40 man issues, now is the time to try to trade him while...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    I stand by my post. The team would be much better with Devers as the primary DH, and having a better glove at 3b going forward. Yoshida cannot play MLB caliber defense anywhere on the field. With the amount of injuries stacking up on the pitching staff, I remain convinced that the 40 man spot is...

    ECQF Game 4: 4/27/24 @ Tarranna

    I mean there really not a lot that you can discuss on a talk show about the three dominant wins.

    Petriello: Did Ted's 'red seat' HR really go 502 feet? No, It went farther!

    It was probably single admission. They used to do that a lot in those days.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    As a casual basketball fan, it looks to me like the team pretty much turtled after that attempted cheap shot on Tatum. They look afraid to get near anybody. Again, I don’t know anything about basketball but that’s how it looks to me. They got smacked in the mouth and too intimidated physically...
