    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I don't want my goalies playing with the implied threat that if they let in a soft one, the twitchy coaching staff is going to bench them. I also think these goalies have shown that they can excel in the situation where they are not carrying the whole load, probably because of both the physical...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    If you ditch the rotation because of the extra day off, you ditch it for the duration because you are making a definitive statement about your confidence. And Ullmark has done nothing to shake confidence in his play. They lost game two because of stuff outside the blue paint, not in it. I'm...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Keefe's comments are hilarious, and as the head coach of Toronto it is only made more funny in that he is talking about a play involving Tyler -let-me-shiv-you-with-the-but-end-of-my-untaped-stick-Bertuzzi. It has got to be tough for the Leafs, stuck with choir boys like Bertuzzi and Domi and...

    ECQF Game 3: 4/24/24 @ Tarranna

    I'm guessing that with Lohrei in the line-up it feels like too much of a risk to also have Grz and they like Shattenkirk's role on the PP. I'm worried that Lohrei is going to get exposed. I'm glad to see van Riemsdyk even if a screen focused on he and Bertuzzi is going to make it seem like my...

    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    I hit an ATP for the first time. I don't think the ball ever was more than a foot off the ground from the time I hit it until through it rolling to the fence. Not how I would have predicted it, but it was pretty sweet. I'm playing the right side, as a lefty. A soft ball lands a couple feet...

    Round 1, Game 2 -- Toronto @ Boston

    Damn. That sucked. Toronto isn't really playing that great and yet here we are.

    Round 1, Game 1 -- Toronto @ Boston

    They should alternate. They've alternated for two years now, and the only time they didn't was a monumental disaster, where they ended up not being able to think straight because of "this is how things are done" stupidity. Maybe one of the reasons the goalies play so well is precisely...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Grz is listed as having 17:04 on the ice in game one. I would have guessed it was closer to about 10 or 11 minutes. Sure seemed like he was hardly out there at all for long stretches.

    Round 1, Game 1 -- Toronto @ Boston

    That first goal was such a pro play by Boqvist to sort of hold and find that pass when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to go for the short side wrister. Just great. I was too pumped up in the moment to really notice how good it was.

    23-24 Bruins Season Thread

    The Bruins really need Brazeau to be okay for the playoffs. I hope they've been just rope-a-doping the press on this one and now that the playoffs are coming, he'll be ready to go.

    Choose the opponent?

    Aren't we at close-the-thread time with this one? I wanted Toronto which probably means Toronto will finally figure things out this year.

    Jack Edwards to retire

    Well said. I'll miss him even though it is clearly time. Let's hope we don't get stuck with some Newhouse zombie. Do you watch Bruins games regularly? He clearly has developed some neurological related speech issues, about which he's spoken publicly even though his diagnosis -- IIRC -- is...
