Real World

How about that 6-1 drubbing at the hands of the Canadiens last night? Why do I get the feeling that this team is about ready to come crashing down to earth?

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Seriously it's Fernandez. He's not that good. When I heard Fernandez was coming to Boston, i was Like" WTF Thomas was good last year, and he's only going to get better". Thomas leads the NHL in two catagories. GAA and save%. If Boston wants to give themselves a chance they are going to have to make Thomas the full time starter. Have Fernandez play like every 3rd or 4th game to keep Thomas fresh. They do that. They get in the playoffs.

If you left after Orr, then I'm sorry for you 'cause you missed some great hockey, especially from he late 70s through the 80s and early 90s!

Those people aren't real fans anyway.

No doubt! From O'Reilly, Park, Krushelnyski Middleton, and Bourque through Janney, Neely, Tocchet, Oates and Moog. Just to name a few. The years we vanquished the Habs! Man, that was some great hockey.

I loved Tocchet he was my favorite NHL player for a while. He was an awsome all rounded player. He could score, hit, and when it came down to it he could fight. I actually still have a Tocchet jersey. It's a Flyers one though. Oates. Can never forget him. One of the best play makers to ever play the game.

Back in the days I lived in Massachusetts, I lived in Danvers for

a few years next to a golf pro called Cotton Dunn. One winter

Cotton decided to spend the winter in Florida to sharpen up his

golf game. He rented his house to Gerry Cheevers. Those were

the days when they were winning Stanley Cups with players like

Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, Fred Stanfield, Derik Sanderson, etc.

I'm afraid this current Bruins' team is doomed to fail. Their new

coach has tightened up their defense but has precious few good

players to score goals. When the team misses the playoffs again,

management will simply fire the coach and general manager. They

will refuse to pump any new money into acquiring the good players

necessary to succeed. The Jacobs' family is committed to making

money from the Fleet Center and not winning Stanley Cups.

Since the salary cap was put in place, the Bruins have been up against it both years. It's hard to make that argument anymore. Between the Salary Cap and the removal of Mike O'Connell, I think better days will come fairly soon. If the Celtics can make players want to play in Boston again, certainly the Bruins can.

It could be worse, we could be Black Hawk fans. It's sad to say, but the best thing to happen to that franchise in the last 10 years has been the recent death of Bill Wirtz.

Favorite Players as a kid (started watching in the late 70s):

1. Stan Jonathan
2. Terry O'Reilly
3. A baby-faved #7 Ray Bourque
4. Wayne Cashman

Then when Cam Neely came along, he went straight to #1, with nobody else close. Well, maybe Rogie Vachon. I liked his name.

What would make that any different if Jacobs were to die in a plane crash next week, that would 100% be the best thing to happen to this franchise in the last decade plus also! There is absolutely nothing to cheer about with this franchise today, nothing!

You're a tough sell. The team's not going to dominate like the Patriots, or win the Championship like the Red Sox, but I think they're fun to watch right now.

I'm no Jacobs fan, and would be thrilled if he sold the team tomorrow. I'd lead the friggin parade. But he spends to the cap limit, keeps his hands off hockey decisions, and allows the televising of home games.

Right there is three things that Wirtz didn't do in Chicago.

It's on Chiaverelli now.
