  1. And Chicago was using black since their inception 2 years prior, so not sure where Jeremy Jacobs gets off, but he's always been a clown.
  2. Yep. In a vacuum that logo is horrible, but when you remember the spoked B is just their 25th anniversary logo I think it's a great call back. White numbers are a head scratcher. The Bruins have used white numbers on their primary black jersey for a total of 9 years out of 99. Makes no sense to use them here, especially if you're getting fancy with shimmery gold everywhere else. The black socks come as no surprise, Jacobs loves the claim that the Bruins are the first professional team to use black as a primary color, even though I'm not buying that whatsoever. If that's true, and it probably is - it's a tremendous stretch. There are 9 stripes per sleeve, and I can guarantee the casual fan isn't going to put together that there's 6 gold ones to signify 6 Stanley Cups. Hell, even I wasn't reading it like that. Going from yellow to black was a great way to remove any and all character from an already characterless building.
  3. I lived in Denver, and in that white building behind Union Station for 2 years. Considering Denver as a city is... boring, I'd say that signage is recognizable enough to use. Everyone who visits Denver takes a picture of that damn thing, it's a great visual. There's not much else to pull from, it's either the mountains (too easy), parking lots, or the Capitol/Civic Center Park, which looks like every other capitol in the country give or take, and it's not really an area anybody in Denver visits on purpose. Just learning the side stripes are supposed to mimic the station itself, nice touch - bit of a Nike force, but still nice.
  4. That was more of a supply issue. There's only 4 GK kit colors, so if they clash or don't fit they're wearing their own.
  5. Most teams (20ish) are in Hummel, the teams that aren't are contractually obligated to wear Nike/Puma/Adidas etc.
  6. Welcome to Celtics basketball. When the threes fall, they play a complete 2 way game. When the threes don't fall they crap themselves.
  7. Naturally the best incarnation of the Leafs with the greatest chance to advance to the ECF will be forced to run into the best incarnation of the Bruins - IF both teams close it out.
  8. Pastrnak signs for 8x11.25 and Bertuzzi to Boston for a 1st/4th. Sweeney cooking this morning.
  9. When I headed back east in mid-December it was snowing in Boston, and cold as F too. A great reminder why I don't live there anymore. I didn't mind the faux snow, it fit's the aesthetic far more than nice green grass surrounding an ice sheet.
  10. I lived off Causeway in 2010-2013, it was a seedy area before redevelopment and remains that way even with all the flashy new glass buildings they put up. There was a plethora of food and sports bar options in the immediate vicinity of the Garden with actual character, the area really didn't need what they added. The only plus of the whole thing was the supermarket in the basement as there was really nothing in that neighborhood other than a smallish Whole Foods.
  11. I'm not sure anyone here is overreacting. It seems that you're the only one bothered about it. There's no asterisk for 2017, either. This isn't the NCAA, they aren't going to take a World Series away. Astros players on that team will continue to pay the public price for what happened, and that's that. Guys like Beltran, Cora, and probably unfairly Hinch will always have that blemish. Do I even actually care that the Astros stole signs in 2017? Not one iota. However.... The outcome of a play doesn't correlate to the seriousness of the level of cheating - in any sport. Just because there wasn't a home run or RBI on every pitch does not make it a lesser infraction. Baseball is an incredibly hard sport, even when you know what's coming you still aren't going to square up on it more often than not. It's still a very clear advantage, though.
  12. Did the Red Sox cheat? Yes. Did 90% of baseball do the same thing? Yes. Did the Astros take it a step further? Yes. However, the "we can with without, just look at the year we didnt win the World Series" is an odd take.
  13. Yeah what were they doing? The Dan Quinn School of Time Management was on full display in those last 6 or so minutes. And then icing on the cake not calling a timeout with 29 seconds left and letting it run down to 20ish. Weird, weird stuff. They should've won that game.
  14. The problem with NESN's streaming service, aside from its ridiculous cost is it's of no use to me out here. It's essentially for locals only, which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing.
  15. I'm not sure how that one works, I do it through my PC and cast to the TV. I'm assuming it would work, though.
