    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...

    4/15 -- Boston @ Washington

    I just turned this on a few minutes ago. Bruins look like they are skating through slush

    Just keep that goon Wilson away from everyone except Maroon.

    2020-23 College Hockey thread

    Denver, though, was also incredibly lucky to be there at all, with three 2-1 games, two of which went to OT, one to double OT and even the regulation game against Cornell was super tight. They were out shot in every game, including the final. They lived a charmed life the whole tournament...

    April 13 -- Boston @ Pittsburgh

    Pittsburgh games are fun to watch, but they would be an infuriating team to root for. They defend like a team with four forwards and one defender on the ice.

    BC had little to no luck tonight at all. Tough.

    So I don't love how well Denver is playing. This is going to be a grind of a game

    2004 WS Celebration

    My wife is convinced that only 'we' call Kevin Millar 'Chicken Bucket.' I told her, 'no way!' But then doing a little SoSH search here has me worried. Can it possibly be the case that this is not standard nomenclature? The mind reels.
