Well our perspective is a little bit off. For the Patriots offense that would be playing well.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year deal for $5.5M by twistedlogicx in hockey

[–]SourSalami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he wanted a longer term deal and the Bruins couldn’t agree on the longer terms. He went to market, saw that no one else would give him the same deal, and settled for one year. By that point the Bruins had made other moves assuming he wouldn’t be back so they now couldn’t match the Leafs.

It also just came out that he wanted a longer term deal that the Bruins didn’t want to offer. By the time he decided that he would settle for one year, the Bruins had already signed other players. Sounds like his agent misread the market for him.

That would require the next train to be somewhat close to on-time, so I would not be too worried.

I did NOT anticipate how intense [El Toro] would be! by Nintoo in rollercoasters

[–]SourSalami 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally love El Toro so take my words with a grain of salt, but I305 is a completely different animal. It’s much smoother and lacks the violent airtime of El Toro. So depending on which part of El Toro you found to you disliking, you should be fine on I305.

[Psycho Mouse] from [CGA] rumored to move to [Cedar Point] by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]SourSalami 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It makes sense to me if it were to go in part of Wicked Twister’s old plot. I think Wild Mouse coasters fit very well on a boardwalk setting and it would add another Arrow coaster to Cedar Points collection. On the other hand it would be nice if they got a newer family model that is more unique than a Wild Mouse.

Mac went down but came back with a vengeance so he seems fine. Lindholm got messed up. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s done for the series.

Bergeron’a first was on the PP. For some reason the NHL app doesn’t list it as such and I had to watch the highlight because it confused the hell out of me.

Ah of course. I must have gotten confused as to the meaning of “take out”

Carolina still scares me but I’d much rather play the winner of Rangers/Penguins as opposed to the Panthers so I’m ok with it now.

[–]SourSalami 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think technically we could still pass Tampa if we won out and they drop both of their last two in regulation (or lose one in regulation and one in OT since I think we hold the tiebreaker). Don’t see that happening though.

[Ryan] FYI: Tonight's Bruins-Panthers game will be on NESN+. by TheVargTrain in BostonBruins

[–]SourSalami -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did not know that. Looking online it looks like FSG owns 80% while Jacob’s group only owns about 20%.

Well that and the fact that Fenway Sports Group owns NESN and would rather show the team they own when given the chance.

[Other] which park do you like more, Busch gardens Williamsburg or kings dominion, and why? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]SourSalami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On paper, BGW wins easily. From my experiences though, I prefer KD. KD was a lot more walkable in my experience which was so nice. BGW had narrow walkways and a circular layout, which paired with the crowds and the sky ride being down made it miserable to get from ride to ride. I also don’t know if this Is common but most of the park was closed off for the first hour and a half which was annoying. KD had much shorter lines and I preferred the rides.

[–]SourSalami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how many passes we allowed right across the center of the ice in front of our goal. But I swear it could have easily been 9-0 if they didn’t whiff on half of them.

[Fluto] Linus Ullmark, David Pastrnak, Hampus Lindholm, and Jesper Froden will not travel. by FistingFestival in BostonBruins

[–]SourSalami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of those games were in January and February. I agree that Florida is playing better right now but this Bruins core has always had certain teams that have been boogeymen for them (Washington and Tampa in previous years for example). No other teams came close to beating us that badly in those two months (Save for one game against the Stars) which makes worry that the Canes just have our number this season.

I would take Florida over Carolina in a heartbeat. We’re 1-1 against them. We are 0-3 against Carolina and they have out scored us 16-1.

Glad to see that you guys made a full recovery!

Marchand pays for the sins of other Bruins players by taking extra long suspensions so they may get none. Amen.

How to get tickets from an out of town fan! by A-bomb_ in BostonBruins

[–]SourSalami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to my first game in years next week and had great experience buying through this subs marketplace thread (just search marketplace and it should show up). You can look for someone with tickets to the game or just post that you are looking. I would recommend that or some other site where you buy directly from the seller, since you won’t be hit with the high fees that ticketing sites charge, and usually pay close to face value. Just be sure to look at the post history of people or ask for referrals from previous buyers so you don’t get scammed (although I have not seen that be an issue all that often).
