I miss Bruins playoff hockey. I don't miss the angina and sweaty palms and not being able to sleep after games. But I'd put up with it.
Sad story.

The hockey season is over and Canoeing season has not started.  I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF!

I played Highfields on Saturday, it's in great shape already. Spring rate of $40 to ride for 18 on a Saturday, can't beat it.

I'll be in Boston this summer and I too enjoy explaining to my friends that I can't do something on a certain day because I'm hanging out with a bunch of people I know, but not really, because we only communicate over the Internet and then they give me a weird look and it gets kind of awkward and stuff.

I really enjoyed Knuckles vs Numbers from Grantland.  About how analytics is leading to the fall of the enforcer.  9 minutes in length.
 
edit: interviews with McGratten, Bisonnette, Colton Orr.

I'm sad that the Bruins aren't playing.  This season was a rough one.

This season fucking sucked. Brutally inconsistent hockey all year long. And I love the NHL playoffs, but I'm struggling with the Bruins not being in it.

Not having cable and then traveling for 8-9 days soon after the season ended made the separation a  little easier.  Still, I miss the Bruins playing when it's nice out.

Missing the playoff sucks. Now if you'll please excuse me, off to the dafoomie YouTube page.

Anyone interested in losing a little bit of their dignity on Sun afternoon? Onion rings optional.

Chara was at the Yard House in Lynnfield this afternoon. He is tall. I did not get the chance to ask him what happened last season, unfortunately.

I am always up for loss of dignity, onion rings, butter, and lollipops.  None of those are mutually exclusive, either.

If a promotion comes with a much shittier desk position, is it really a promotion?  (yes, yes it is.  I just can't see out the window anymore)

I only come here to commend Nap for his response to my post in one of the many threads that has been randomly locked in P&G.

I sort of agreed to take part in the Big Man Run at the end of the month. It is a 4 mile run, where one has to stop and consume a hot dog and beer after each mile. I think you have to be 200lbs in order to participate, so I am getting started on the hotdog/beer portion of the training this weekend.

Was it the Cake one? Because I've had that song stuck in my head since.
 
In other news I just renewed the 2010-11 Bruins page at hockey reference. Best money I spend every year.

This isn't really appropriate for a news thread, but PK Subban needs to stop doing cool things.

How's the weekend of June 20-21 look for knocking a few white balls around? If we do it early enough we can have a beer or 3 and watch some of the open after the round.

The weekend of 20-21 is Father's Day which makes it tougher. I could do either one though.

Wait...are you back local again?
For the summer, then back out to Michigan for another 9 months.  Then hopefully Boston afterward but that depends on whether my company likes me and/or if I try to recruit for some other locale within the continental United States.  But hopefully back here when I re-join the workforce full time again.
