    Round 2 Bruins-Panthers

    Florida is going to get more penalties called against them because they always have the puck. The embellishment is what needs to stop. Hate to say it but Coyle standing next to Swayman with Bennett behind isn’t stopping that goal. Great play by Bennett. Terrible positioning by Coyle.

    G4: Everyone Fights, No One Quits

    Coyle and McAvoy are the goats

    Round 2 Bruins-Panthers

    Great season but playoff hockey is a different game. The truth is Coyle and Zacha cannot replace playoff Krejci and Bergeron. You just are not going to win enough in the playoffs when - - Your top 2 lines cannot generate scoring chances. - Your elite defenseman McAvoy plays good. - You...

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    You’re right. I just saw it hop over Swayman’s stick. Just before… did Coyle’s shot hit Geekie to keep it out of the net?

    ECQF Game 5: 4/30/24 vs. Tarranna

    Bad play by Gryz but Swayman needs to control that

    2024 - Path to 90 Wins

    Obviously the path to 90 wins is everyone gets hurt during the beginning of the season versus the end. 17-13 end of April. Almost 92 win pace with lots of injuries and not much hitting for most of the month. Fun team to root for and quality players coming back from injury in the near...

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    So Yoshida is better than Schwarber. Nice!

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    I guess it could be worse. Schwarber is -0.2 and has only played DH. Did a quick compare of Yoshida and Schwarber 23 to current. Schwarber has been terrible!

    How do you solve a problem like Yoshida?

    Looking at b-ref and Yoshida has a dWAR of -0.2 in 1 inning of play. How is that possible? Is the threat of a ball being hit near him that great?

    Wondering who watched the game. Dalbec was absolutely screwed in two at bats. Both at bats had 2 called strikes on balls outside the zone. He also hit a hard line drive at the 3B for an out and drew a walk. Defense was acceptable.

    Maybe Hickey is looked at as a DH by the front office? As stated up thread, there are other players that cover 1B in the minors that need their own reps. But I guess the Soxprospect guys know more about the farm that the front office. I can’t wait for the Casas is injury prone crowd to hit...

    And what would they spend money on for a temp 1B? Belt hasn’t gone through spring training and will take time to build up and that’s assuming anything is left in the tank. I’m all for Niko Kavadas.

    Jack Edwards to retire

    I had the good fortune to bump in to Jack at the hotel bar after a Bruins road game against the Islanders. It was a good Bruins win and Jack was enjoying himself. For about an hour he was absolutely one of us - a fan of the Bruins. He was destroying Zach Senyshyn game, soft and stupid. I...

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I was a decent athlete and ball player as a kid growing up on the south shore. We move to Gainesville, Florida during my freshman year of high school. I played Babe Ruth and couldn’t believe how much bigger the players were in Florida. I pitched in a game against a son of Roger Maris. My...
