    Game 7 - We Win

    You win games by fucking taking it. You want that milkshake, YOU DRINK THAT FUCKING MILKSHAKE. You don't ask for it, you don't hope for it, you fucking take it. It will not be given. Victory will not be handed over. You must stand over them and take it from them, forcefully. And oh man, are we...

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! What the fuck happened to the Bruins fans I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives tomorrow, but...

    Game 6 at Toronto

    Mine just keep coming downstairs until the blood vessel in my eye pops and I threaten to send their iPads to the next dimension.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I jokingly said let’s just go To Game 7 because we know they aren’t winning Game 6. Of course, that means they are winning tonight and ripping the Maple Leafs fans hearts out just as they were getting hope. Kind of seems appropriate for a classic “Lucy with the football” situation for Leafs...

    R2/37 Ja’Lynn Polk WR Washington

    On the Ringer NFL draft podcast they were pretty positive on the Polk pick. Talked a little bit about how adept he is at reading zone coverage and finding open spots, in addition to his route running ability and hands. Said he just does everything well.

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    My read of this is they wanted to add some additional picks, and were very reticent to trade volume to move up. Lots of quotes from Wolff leading up to the draft about adding picks. They haven’t done that, but my guess is this was cost prohibitive for them as they feel they still have a lot of...

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    5 OTs were taken after the Pats took Wallace, so it feels like they read the board well on who would be left and took a guy they liked. He has good athleticism and is an upgrade talent wise on their tackle position. For the third round it’s hard to get mad at that. They didn’t draft a kicker so...

    2024 NFL Draft 2nd and 3rd round gamethread: Baruch atah Adonai WITH SPOILERS

    My best guess is the Pats trade down, especially if they don’t see AD Mitchell as much different than Franklin, McConkey, et al. Wolff was talking about accumulating more picks, and he may see more value in adding a 3rd or 4th to slide down in the 2nd depending on their WR evaluations. I could...

    One Draft Hot-Take

    McCarthy slides to 11. Pats trade with Dallas to get Guyton at 24.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    If the Pats aren’t enamored with whoever is left at 3, the Giants at 6 are an intriguing proposition for a trade. They could go McCarthy (Cards and Chargers aren’t taking him, but Vikings could move up), or pick up Nabers/Alt/Odunze, and then get back into the end of the first to snag Penix...

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    Schrager has the Vikings picking Nix at 23.

    The Next Pats QB: Daniels or Maye?

    The league’s rule changes (including the recent hip drop tackle ban) also have seen skinnier guys like Devonta Smith be targeted earlier by teams because the league just isn’t as violent any more. Skinnier guys may or may not be more at risk, but the fact the league is slowly turning it into two...

    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...
