Bruins with another home game seven and another home game seven they start out completely flat.
-
With how horrible the home crowds have been in Boston, I'm petrified of this series going to 7.
EDIT: Florida deserves to win this series. Bruins are afraid to even touch the puck. It's the Cup finals against the Blues all over again.
-
Well, I mean, if you want to continue turning the puck over, then crap like that is going to happen…

Leafs up 2-1? Somewhere, @Neon_Matrix is happy.
-
The Bruins are 5 for 6 in regards to playing horrendous periods of hockey. Behind the back passes to the other team, the inability to catch a pass, Taylor Hall (who is a former MVP WTF HOW?!) just...falling down. Not to mention a horrible crowd all night, too.
They're lucky they are not heading down to Florida in an 0-2 hole.

As a Patriots fan, I absolutely love this. It's enough of a change from their championship set to create a connection, yet be its own thing. Plus, it's not a direct throwback to their horrible Pat the Patriot days. Well done!

The Raiders have signed Jakobi Meyers, a player who already has a rich history of winning games for them.
Too much money for a player Patriots fans have only fooled themselves into believing is a #1/#2 WR thanks to being so shallow at the position.

I'm not that one that brought the Patriots in the first place. I didn't even mention them until someone else brought them up.
If you want to be the next NFL "dynasty" get used to people calling out your teams arrogance.
Dude, just stop. As another Patriots fan saying this, just stop. You're not going win and most people are just winding you up at this point anyway.
It's just not worth it and the best thing you'll do is stain the pretty good reputation most Patriots fans have established for ourselves here.

I have no clue what you're implying, but Maybe don't bring up Boston sports in the first place if you can't stand people talking about it.
Just a thought.

Was reading some scouting reports on various players who are entering the NHL Draft this offseason. Always funny to me to see things like “size” as part of a particulars players positive traits, or “lack of size” as a weakness. What’s funny is this - I feel like far more “undersized players” have panned out more than “big guys.”

Disclaimer: Before people jump in with the inevitable "Patriots have had calls that benefit them for years" jargon - yes, I agree with you. All teams have. Doesn't mean it can't be discussed.
That was. Ugh. I do not agree with the Cole call. NFL has put a billion cameras in the arena, yet the "best angle" they can show us on the replay is worse quality than the Zapruder film. But hey, it happens. The only mind-boggling part is that 99% of the time, the Patriots would have taken a knee with :32 left and run out the clock for overtime. They've had similar situations many times this year and have (ie: ~:15 seconds left before the half and taken a knee, stuff like that ya'know?) Yet, they decide to go for it and THAT is the abomination they put together. What Meyers did was horrible (and maybe the rest of the fanbase can stop convincing themselves he's a #1 or #2 WR while they're at it) but I'm not convinced it wasn't the play considering the braintrust they have coaching that offense.
It's so crazy how much job security there is in the NFL coaching brotherhood. I'm not talking head coaching, just coaching. Once you're in, you're in. It's crazy that Matt Patricia and Joe Judge are allowed anywhere near football teams anymore after the scorched earth they've left behind. Yet, here they are. Allowed to coach. It's better job security than a Supreme Court justice. Mac Jones was good last year. Not great, but good. Now, he's regressed considerably when it's a known fact that Patricia and Judge work closely with him. Even more, the two franchises those boneheads have left are thriving with largely the same rosters they left behind -- Detroit might have even gotten worse, roster-wise!
Ok. I'm done.

Out coached. Out matched. Yuck.
However, two silver linings. One, another horrible game for Amazon to have to present. Two, there is a sliver of hope it gets Matt Patricia and Joe Judge fired.

So that pencil is surgically implanted in Matt Patricia's ear isn't it?
No, he uses just uses it to draw up his most convoluted and head-scratching plays.
Great game to watch as a football fan, but super frustrating to watch as a Patriots fan. I've never seen them make bad plays at literally the worst possible moments. Vikings made the big plays when it mattered. Patriots ran into the punter or dropped it at the goal line when it mattered.

And here I actually deluded myself into believing the Raiders would be good with McDaniels. I should have known better.
It's crazy how Brady won 6 rings with this guy.
I think we forget that guys like McDaniels, Patricia, and Judge, as well as going far back with guys like Mangini, had the ultimate filter in Bill Belichick when it came to play calling.
It's like going from the WWF to WCW in 1999; you lost the filter that separates the crap from the good stuff.

Ain't that what they did with Mookie Betts a couple years back? Or was there more to that whole ordeal?
No, I think Mookie just didn't want to stay in Boston long-term, so the Sox moved on. Bloom traded him before even meeting with him, if I remember correctly.
There have been numerous instances (such as lowballing Jon Lester and then signing David Price to a record-breaking contract, but I feel those were not in the same offseason) but the biggest that comes to mind is the dismantling of the team they did after 2004. They let Orlando Cabrera walk...in favor of Edgar Renteria. Granted, I'm sure no one could see the cliff Rent-a-Wreck would fly off of in Boston, but still. Cabrera was a fan favorite whom they let walk to sign an unproven Boston player for more.

Red Sox will probably only try to keep one of Devers or Bogarts. I don't see them breaking the bank on both of them. Personally,I think they should keep Devers.
Then try to replace Bogarts with Correa.
That would be such a Henry-ownership move, too. Replace a fan-favorite with a guy who is as good or worse but pay him exorbitantly more.

I'm trying to ride that fine line of not being a spoiled Boston fan, and I completely understand why people might find this conceited, but really hoping the Red Sox open the pocketbook and resign Bogaerts and Devers this offseason. I know they need pitching, but they also need these two guys as the faces of their franchise. I don't want to hear the "well they have prospects to fill the holes." BS, because the sense I get from the management now is that they'll unload those prospects when they start producing as big leaguers.
I don't want to sound like a whiny Boston fan (ya'll know I'm not that way) but I feel like if you are a fan of a big market team, it's understandable to expect them to behave like a big market team in the offseason. Maybe I'm wrong; I would welcome another perspective as always.

Bruins have proven they can’t close things out in this series so I’m not surprised. Even less surprised it tipped off of Charlie McAvoy’s stick considering he has had one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen a player have.
I’ve seen this story before. Bruins. Game 7. At home? I know how this ends…
