    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    This where I’m at, and one of the reasons I’m so down on Monty. They play their best game of the series in game 4, and come out flat, lifeless, and lacking urgency in the next 2? Overconfidence? If so, inexcusable given recent history. I just don’t think he pushes the right buttons for playoff...

    Game 6 at Toronto

    Just brutal. No confidence at all going into Saturday night. Coin toss, at best. And game 7 should be a referendum on Monty, and the FO.

    Fuuuuuuck.

    Best opportunity under 3.

    Game 6 at Toronto

    Being small, not very strong, and easily knocked off the puck. Love his skill, but those flaws tend to be more glaring in playoff hockey, IMO.

    Woll is getting that weird, Colonel Kilgore light happening.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    I’m an old fart who remembers Kiper, DrZ, and Berman doing it on a Thursday afternoon. Agree, would take that over the spectacle any day.

    2024 NFL Draft 1st round gamethread: Maye the odds be ever in your favor WITH SPOILERS

    Whatever people think of BB’s talent evaluation skills at this point, he is far from alone in considering Maye a talented, but raw, prospect/project. I think they had to take a shot with either him or Daniels, but having some reservations about him is not an outlier opinion.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    Ah, ok. I guess Monty could go that route, though I think the actual impact of media gamesmanship on the officiating by either of them will likely be minimal. Marchand got away with one last night, but I’m not real worried that he’s now going be subject to make up calls.

    Round 1 Bruins-Leafs

    I think they fire back the way they largely have been in this series: with tough, smart physical play. Their hit numbers are way up from the regular season(some of which is, of course, is attributable to the nature of playoff games). I don't think pushing the envelope with retaliatory...

    One Draft Hot-Take

    They trade down and up with the Huskie battery of Pennix and Odunze.

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Yeah, this is absolutely insane. I'm probably going to get flamed, but is there possibly a culture of over babying pulls, strains, "tightness", etc. with the Red Sox? Or something fundamentally flawed in their approach to conditioning or injury prevention? I'm honestly wondering/asking, not...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    If this looks like a season ending thing, I would hope/think an aggressive approach to finding an external replacement is on the table. The good start, outstanding performance of the pitching staff, and the pending return of other key players from injury all should mandate being committed to...

    The Krafts

    I think we largely agree. I was just taken a back a bit by that reported questioning of his integrity. Big ego, demanding, even arrogant would seem fair game to me in describing Bill honestly to one of the other owners considering hiring him. Integrity feels like a bridge too far. But I agree...

    The Krafts

    But if it were verified, would you view Kraft calling Bill untrustworthy just a salty ego thing? Seems like that would veer a little further towards a smear. I don’t disagree that believing Wickersham lock, stock, and barrel would be a major change of course around here. But combining this with...

    Eliot Wolf will be in charge of the personnel department,

    All standard, boilerplate, liars poker season stuff. I still fully expect them to take Maye or Daniels at no. 3.
