    NFL Draft - General Notes and Buildup

    I think it was someone at the Athletic’s recent draft that had the Vikings moving up to 5 to draft McCarthy. Interesting to see the correlation in rumors between the Giants allegedly looking at him at 6, combined with the recent Vikings trade to have two firsts.

    Bruins Acquire Pat Maroon

    I actually like this one. They are very young on the 4th line, and Maroon is someone very comfortable in the playoffs. They paid next to nothing, and in a physical series he’s going to be an asset. He’s one of those guys in the playoffs that your defenseman start looking for when fishing the...

    Bruins Acquire Andrew Peeke

    I would have preferred they do nothing. Athletic gave it a big fat "D", and as noted above, seemed entirely perplexed the Bruins would do this. Is there any stat that supports this other than "he's just 25"? He couldn't play for a terrible Columbus team. He's not going to play here all of a...

    2024 NHL Trade Deadline Thread

    I seem to recall Sweeney saying earlier in the season that he really didn’t want to trade away any draft picks. I’m ok with not doing anything, but I would guess they add a depth defenseman before the deadline and not much else.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    FWIW, odds are now -425 that Justin Fields gets traded to Atlanta. At the beginning of the week they were +250. Lots of smoke on Twitter as well about him headed to Atlanta.

    Blaine Lacher Passes Away

    Blaine Lacher had a formative impact on me despite him only being with the Bruins a while. I remember I had a Bruins bear my Dad had bought me, and I wrote in Blaine Lacher’s name on the back of the Bruins jersey and added his #31. I begged my parents to get me a Lake Superior State had, and...

    2023-24 NHL Game Thread

    Embarrassing for the league. Just a blatant elbow, and clearly intentional. You can see him size him up, and then he chicken wings him right in the face. Pure intent. He needs to be suspended 10 games for that crap. Can't wait for the $5,000 fine announcement. Just a joke.

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

    I know I’ve had this tag line for a while, but would anyone mind changing it in light of the charges? “Going Lucic on his ash” has a shitty meaning now that I don’t want to be associated with. Terrible actions by Lucic. He should be cut.

    Patrice Bergeron Retires

    As sad as it is, this is the right choice for him and his family. I wish him nothing but the best. I will be telling stories to my kids and grandkids about how he played the game "the right way" until I die. He is an example of not only being a great hockey player, but a great person. I will...

    Game 6 at Florida---Get the Job Done

    There is something about being human that seems to gravitationally direct us towards suffering. A pull towards despair that we find easier at times to succumb to. Like the slow pull towards a black hole, it feels hopeless and inevitable. It’s hard to push ourselves away from it. I find myself...

    Round 1, Game 5 - Panthers at Bruins.

    Look Florida, we are never ever getting back together. Don’t blame me that your love story is at midnight rain. Blame your goaltending of a death by a thousand cuts.

    Round 1, Game 4 - Bruins at Panthers.

    ‘Tis the daman season for us to have a place in this world. It may not be bad blood but it’s better than revenge. Let’s go up 3-1 so we can say bye bye baby in Game 5.

    Round 1, Game 3 - Bruins at Panthers. For Papa Patrice.

    Would've, Could've, Should've. We could be up with the Midnight Rain whispering Sweet Nothings to our Bejeweled Anti-Hero. So, Question....? We know all too well who should lead us, and it is TSC and his aching hips. Lets do some vigilante shit and win this fucking game.

    2022-23 Bruins Season

    Essensa seems to have had a lasting effect on Ullmark’s game. He is much more quiet in his movements and seems much more in control. That could also be a product of his familiarity with the team and his comfort level, but having quality goaltending helps when your team is pushing it in offense...
