    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    So what do the other 9 NHL buildings with NBA teams do better than the Bruins? Why would the owners of the building who also own the Bruins (and not the Celtics) purposely make the ice worse? Let me guess, Jacobs is cheap angle? Goes well with Sweeney can’t draft in 2015 and Monty is a...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This team was supposed to suck this year. If we can re-litigate 2015 yet again, how about we go back to September 2023 and read what the entire NHL and local media were predicting in the wake of losing Bergeron, Krecji, and the deadline rental guys from last year.l? No cap room, going to be a...

    Round 1, Game 1 -- Toronto @ Boston

    This is exactly right and what will indeed happen, game 1 lovefest for Sway’s great play aside. No one was even sure he would start yesterday.

    Dugger WITH AN E is back With the Pats (4 years 58M)

    Not only does he know the system better than most, he wears the dot, calling and adjusting all plays. Who would be another candidate to wear that hat?

    If Mitchell is getting meaningful minutes in the playoffs the Bruins are in trouble.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    “The Peeke trade makes absolutely zero sense, he's a 7th defenseman making too much money that you gave up an actual pick for. Like WTF. Bring up Mitchell for that spot and keep the pick. Just mind boggling.” Fast forward yourself to when Gryz and Wotherspoon or Mitchell are getting pushed...

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    I hear you. But he is smart enough to know that he and Swayman couldn’t coexist once Sway got paid. More jarring at the deadline than the summer, sure, but he knew this day would come. And as to his psyche, which wasn’t that awesome in last year’s playoffs, well, unless he is relieving Swayman...

    2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

    If Calgary wants Ullmark, with Markstrom going elsewhere, could be interesting, although I think they are high on Wolf as the future G

    Lohrei as a cost controlled positional replacement with projectability and NHL experience is great starting point. Agreed it is now or some other American team steps in during offseason with a crazy contract. Fill it out with Lysell. If Poitras is more desirable than Lohrei, OK. Maybe they also...

    So sad. And I say that as the only person in existence with an autographed jersey. :( I wanted big things for him. Not for him to get big.

    Wasn’t he hired by former Patriots GM Pioli in KC?

    End of an Era: Bill Belichick and Patriots to part ways

    From Rams SB 1 to now I have gone from a 20-something watching in disbelief with a bunch of dudes in a Cleveland Circle apartment to a suburban 50 year old. Time flies with dynasties.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving. Wish I could find that old P&G story of the guy taking kids to Plymouth Plantation, hungover, on Thanksgiving Day and his pit stop.

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

    How much bigger than 6’3” 220 should he be? That is second on the team in height and weight and actually has fighting majors.

    Game 2: Panthers @ Bruins

    He has some broad shoulders for sure, and yes, nice. Seems like he gets this from B’s fans a lot. Crazy to think 8 years here, 8 elsewhere by now.

    Met Looch today in Costa Rica on vacation. That is a good sign for optimism.

    Round 1 - Florida

    I disagree with 100% of the hundreds of meaningless things you post hundreds of days per year. I haven’t had much to add to this message board over 20+ years as a passive reader, but just give it a rest on this subject. There is no benefit to Patrice Bergeron missing any games in any playoff series.

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    Assuming that Foligno can go for the playoffs, who is the odd man out? I would hate for it to be Frederic, but Nosek is too valuable as a PK guy and D zone faceoff guy, and Freddy while technically a C has been good as a wing. It would be a shame to lose his bottom 6 scoring and of course, grit...
