    Giving up on being an athlete: the pickleball thread

    Anybody out there playing pickle? What's your take on this game? OK, so I'm a hypocrite about it. I'm on record here calling it ridiculous, and in some ways it is. And yet, you know what: you get a little older, your shoulder starts to fall apart, and then there are courts right down the...

    Should Bergeron Keep Playing

    Still elite in many ways. This is a tough way to go out, and it might be well worth making it not how he goes out. OTOH He's not getting any younger. Most great players actually don't get to end the career with a win in the last game. Might as well hang 'em up.

    3/26 @ Carolina

    Big Game. One* team left to slay for the regular season title and the Bruins get their crack at them today! Let's Go! Potential four point swing on the line for the conference and the President's Cup as the Bruins play today with a 15 point lead on Carolina and a 'magic' points number of 7...

    3/25 v Tampa Bay

    1 pm start time. TB coming in after a couple games at Montreal and Ottawa. TB lost both. Make of that what you will. This is the last regular season match-up, with Boston winning the first two and TB winning the most recent game at the end of January. Winning is better than not winning. I...

    3/23 v Montreal

    If the Montreal Canadiens never win another hockey game, it will be too soon. One thing about this season that is not so great is that the Bruins only get this one chance to destroy, humiliate, embarrass and slaughter the Canadiens in front of the hometown Boston crowd. Make the most of it...

    3/21 v Ottawa: spring is in the air

    So, Ottawa: On the one hand... meh? They are just a sliver over .500 and while I'm sure they aspire, they're on the outside looking in for the playoffs. On the other hand... What a weird little season series it has been, given what the Bruins do to everyone else. Back in the October game Ottawa...

    3/19 @ Buffalo

    Buffalo gets the thumb on the scale from the scheduler for this one with the Bruins on the second game of a road-road back to back while the Sabres got to spend yesterday resting. I'm going to be in the house for this one, so win it for me!

    3/18 @ Minnesota: Walk on the Wild Side

    Want to know something Wild? Minnesota has not lost in regulation for over a month. They are a sorta hot team from a cold place. This afternoon seems like a good time for them to cool right off. Also, their uniforms are ugly. Time for another Bruins win.

    3/16 at Winnipeg

    Winnipeg sounds like a prize for some contest (I'm not sure I want to enter). Turn the ship around and go win a hockey game please.

    Practice time usage: to scrimmage or not? Whadda say?

    I am coaching 12U girls soccer. We are not very good, even by the standards of our basically low level, everyone plays league. So I am struggling with the amount of time I should devote to scrimmaging in practice. I'm of at least two minds: on the one hand, we are so weak at just about...

    The single biggest difference between amateurs and pros, sport by sport?

    Isolating just one thing, what would it be? It seems to me that there are some real differences between what stops people from being pros in different sports, and what sets those professionals apart from the rest of us. But I wonder, if you could isolate just one thing for each sport what would...

    2017 Chiefs: How Serious are the Chiefs?

    I dunno.... they seem pretty solid. Beat the Pats, handed a solid Philly team their only loss, and beat a respectable Houston team (in a few minutes from this post) without too much trouble, on the road. Also, they don't have a ton of tough regular season games left. Pittsburgh next week and...
