    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.

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

    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...

    Movies I'd Make

    The Curious Case of Sidd Finch. How that never made its way to the movies will always be a mystery.

    Forbort just started skating yesterday per Monty's last presser. He's a ways off. https://thehockeywriters.com/bruins-news-rumors-pastrnak-montgomery-goalies-forbort/

    2023-24 NHL News Thread

    Not NHL news, but since neckguards were discussed here I thought this was a good place to share. I got to my first P Bruins game and was pleasantly surprised to see how many players were wearing neckguards. All but 4 players by my count wore them on the Bruins. The majority on Wilkes Barre also...

    The Celtics with Bias

    I still remember exactly where I was and how I felt when I heard Bias was dead. I am sure that is true for many of us.

    I wear them more for the breast plate than the actual should pads. Took a puck off the sternum once which was scary enough with shoulder pads that I won’t play without them. IRT neck guards my son is 22, but never game up his neck guard. Still wears it in pickup games. He will certainly never...

    Bruins Acquire Pavel Zacha

    I don’t know if his father is an asshole or just well intentioned but misguided. I will give him credit for at least allowing Pavel to pick the sports that were his favorite. Forcing him to focus on one he didn’t love would have had a different outcome. The 1st comparison that came to mind was...

    A question about merging a name list within a word container.

    If you have all the names in column A for example, you could create a simple formula in Column B to join them. Assume 1st name is in A1, starting in B2 B2 =A1&" AND "&B1 B3 = B2&" AND "A3 Copy that formula to the last name. You can then text copy the final cell contents to a notebook or word...
