    2023 Draft Fits

    Congrats, this is awesome and you deserve it. Love reading your analysis and the conversation it generates among the posters with my more knowledge than myself. Already loved the draft and I feel much more informed observing it after your takes. And love rooting for the guys you ID early on...

    Youth Hockey - catch all

    Great question and I don't know if I have a helpful response--goalies are always special ( I can say that, one of my kids is a goalie and he has been in both situations). I agree that being on a team that lets them see a lot of rubber is a good thing and that can happen on any level team. The...

    Youth Hockey - catch all

    Sorry to respond late but I don't think it's an absolute and there are benefits to both. Most of my thinking comes from a place where it seems, especially at the A level, there was pretty big drop off from the no-brainer A teasers to the bubble. So if you are spending the whole season "playing...

    Youth Hockey - catch all

    My kids have also recently graduated from youth hockey but I did spend a number of years on the board and was the Bantam coordinator for several of them so was the face of team selections. First, everyone is right, people will be upset no matter what so believing in the integrity of the process...

    Use even the most tangential connection to share an anecdote, John Bagley stories preferred

    Nice recall. Tragically, Chung was killed in a car accident a couple years ago after completely turning his life around. Stupid Durfee kept taking out the best of those Lowell High teams in the tournament. The Lowell holiday tournament was awesome. Got to see Rumeal, Travis Best, etc. Great...

    Use even the most tangential connection to share an anecdote, John Bagley stories preferred

    Sorry for the late reply, just catching up on this fantastic thread. Thanks for all the stories. But about Stapleton, I was in eighth grade his senior year at LHS. During the state tournament he hit a teardrop to beat Don Bosco in the closing seconds. Mike Lynch, the channel 5 sportscaster...

    What do the Pats do at 23?

    I went to the Michigan-ND game last year (in the unreal rain). Not a big fan of either team so I had no expectations and found that I could not take my eyes off of Uche. Walked out of there saying to my friends that I hope he ends up on the Pats.

    Bruins Prospect News and Notes

    I saw Beecher live earlier in the season and I think the bolded is right. Size and speed as advertised but I was surprised at his vision. Better team and that would translate to more points.

    2020 TB12: The Decision 2020

    Thank you for this. I cannot believe how little you hear this sentiment. I am glad the Celtics never traded Bird and don't want to see Brady in another uniform. No matter what that does to the cap or following few seasons. Thankfully, he looks like he is still the best option so as fans we...

    2019 Pats: In-Season Roster & Injury Discussion

    Figured this was an appropriate time to make a rare post.

    Beer Leagues, Gear, and other Non-Pro Related Items

    Are there other dads in the same boat? I was in the exact same situation six or seven years ago with the kids getting into a hockey in a hockey town. I did a clinic to get the basics down but then ended up hooking up with 5 or 6 other dads that also wanted to learn to play. We started renting...

    Celtics 16/17 Roster and Assets

    Absolutely. But I don't think Westbrook gets you there with the rosters GS and Cleveland are rolling. I would rather gamble on the Nets picks panning out then adding another star to Westbrook along with Westbrook signing up long term.

    Celtics 16/17 Roster and Assets

    Agreed. Particularly with long odds of winning a title in that time frame with GS and the Cavs loaded. C's are in a good but weird place being a good team now but I think the best C's team with the current roster and assets is a couple years away. Not getting Durant makes me not want to give...

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

      Federal Rule 26(b)(4) was amended in 2010 to make draft expert reports (as well as most communications between counsel and the expert) protected from discovery.  Ends all the games that were played to avoid draft reports having to be turned over.

    #DFG: Canceling the Noise

    I've had the exact same experience in SDNY but with a different judge (not a he).  Intense oral argument based on three page pre-motion letters.  My  cases are in a lot of different districts and this is the only one that had arguments before the briefs were filed but it seems to be a consistent...
