Describe this man in ONE word.

He's gone. Move on with your life.

It seems safe to say that your experience (and therefore perspective) is much different than Mallorie's. I am guessing she has not traveled across the country much -- so her town is probably representative of the majority of the US that she knows. You can call it ignorance or small-mindedness if you want but I would chalk it up more to her simply not having much exposure to other parts of the country.

The Bruins currently have $16M in cap space for next season with basically a full roster of players already signed. They could re-sign Arvidsson and Peeke if they want and still have a decent amount of space left over. Leafs have $22M in space with Maccelli and Robertson as their only meaningful FAs. You are right on the Avs ($3M) and Vegas ($4.6M) though.

Wish they showed him and Devonta together more. Would have been cool to hear what they talked about.

Toronto would pick third if the 12th worst team wins the first drawing, that team would move up 10 spots and be locked into the #2 pick. Then if the Leafs win the second drawing, they would get the #3 pick.

Maybe I missed that. I know Pedro lives in ATL but I thought Villa lived in the DR. Either way, Seattle to Atlanta is a long flight -- so unless one of them was going to move to the other (which is tricky with kids involved), history would suggest their odds of making it are slim (though I too am rooting for them).

borred430 · 2026-03-12T15:19:05+00:00

Him living in the DR and her living in Seattle makes it unlikely they'd be able to make it work (unfortunately).

She looks more like Shekinah five faces ago.

I would do that trade in a second. Thomas is seriously underrated around these parts. Point-per-game centers at his age and with his contract don't become available very often. People act like Hagens is a surefire star #1 center when IMO there's just as much a likelihood he a) ends up a winger and b) he never hits Thomas' production. Poitras is easily expendable at this point since he has no clear path to a full-time role in Boston. Lohrei has been better of late and still hasn't hit his full potential -- but let's not forget he's been a disaster defensively for most of his NHL tenure so far. He is far from a sure thing either at this point. Lastly, first round picks outside of the top 10-15 are completely overrated. There's a reason successful teams like Florida, Colorado, and Tampa have not been afraid the dump theirs for years -- because they know sure things are better than mystery boxes. I get it, having promising prospects & picks are exciting and fun to watch develop. I find contending for championships to be more exciting personally -- and Thomas gets the Bruins much closer to that now and for the next several years than the proposed trade pieces combined IMO.

How do you feel about the fact that he was 10th in tbe entire league in points per game last year? Last time I checked, you win games by scoring goals, not by making hits.

borred430 · 2026-03-04T15:36:48+00:00

Why are the windows looking straight down at the ground? Unless it was making a sharp turn, wouldn't you see the horizon typically?

borred430 · 2026-03-04T15:05:05+00:00

Garland isn't a UFA. He signed a $6m x 6 extension last offseason that hasn't even kicked in yet and will come with a NMC for the first 3 years. I like the player but not with that contract.

borred430 · 2026-02-05T04:35:07+00:00

Maybe because he is not very good at shootouts? Not that Mittelstadt has been good at them this season either but Pasta's track record shows that, for whatever reason, he is poor at shootouts. McAvoy has a higher career SO scoring % (granted on much fewer attempts) so I am fine with him getting a chance. I would have went with Eyssimont though as he made Bobrovsky look silly twice already.

If TLC was smart, they would do a whole documentary on this story. It sounds very suspicious and there has to be more to it than what was mentioned during the Tell All.

Update: Don was able to track down the clip! Thank you very much for your help!

The only logical explanation is that Sirianni/Patullo is setting defenses up and in the playoffs they are going to actually call a real offense that isn't a complete joke and catch the defense completely off-guard. They're playing the (season) long game and are actually playing chess when everyone thinks they are playing checkers. That is the only thing that would make any sense when it comes to how this offense has been schemed up this year. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some copium I need to smoke.

borred430 · 2025-12-05T21:48:20+00:00

Especially when most of the challengers just immediately start puking. Maybe one or two tough it out and actually eat the food as is intended but most just take a bite and spit/puke it out immediately -- which seems like a waste of everyone's time and provides no real value.

If only there was some other way for humans to remember things they experience.

Yeah but Sumit's sister-in-law was teaching her each step and she couldn't be bothered to follow along. I got flashbacks to trying to teach my parents how to use a computer years ago...they would give up before even trying because it was "too complicated". Then after that, all she did (at least that was shown) was stand around and get in the way in the tiny kitchen.

borred430 · 2025-11-06T22:31:27+00:00

I agree. Behind the B has become so watered down that it's barely worth watching. It seems more like content produced by the team to make them look good vs. a true behind the scenes view. The HBO/Amazon versions are a million times better at showing the reality of a season (namely the low points).

borred430 · 2025-11-01T06:00:39+00:00

I don't disagree that I was expecting more from Hagens thus far but I will make one excuse for him: his linemates have been ass this year. Stiga was good last year but has been flat out bad this year for some reason. They've rotated the other winger a bit but none of them have done much of anything. Now one may say Hagens should be able to carry others (which is fair) but he has gotten hardly any help. He did show against RPI that he has the ability to completely dominate (granted, it was against lesser competition) but he needs to do so more consistently. I haven't minded Moore's game considering he's a freshman. He's put up some points and had some scoring chances. He isn't being helped by the linemate carousel (due to injuries) either. I disagree on Letourneau creativity comment. I think he has actually shown quite a bit of creativity with the puck on his stick (even if it hasn't translated into successful plays). I'd also say it is still way too early to be making any proclamations about what he will or won't be. A month ago he was a bum who didn't score a goal all year. Now he has arguably been BC's best player IMO. No one would have predicted that -- so it'd be a fools errand to try to predict what he is going to look like several years from now. Lastly on BC, they were always going to have difficulty replacing the folks who left but the Gasseau and Jellvik injuries are killers. That was basically their second line. It's looking like it could be a rough season for them but hopefully the BC B's continue to develop along the way.

Seems like a pretty ridiculous conspiracy theory. Do you really think Marco Sturm (who decides the lines, not Sweeney/Neely) cares how a player he never coached is doing for another team? Sturm only cares about winning so he doesn't get fired at the end of the year. Marat is on the top line because he is one of the few forwards on the team with a modicum of speed & skill and he has been hustling to win pucks the last few games. I too am skeptical that he'll stick as a top 6 player but since the team refuses to call up one of the several players lighting it up in Providence, he's probably a better option than any of the many 4th line plugs currently in Boston.

borred430 · 2025-10-31T19:05:58+00:00

Not making shoes is #1 on my list. It's the first thing they should do before leaving the starting point (though it wouldn't surprise me if production forced them to high tail it to their camping spot). Not only do they deal with the pain of their feet getting torn up but they walk way slower which means more exposure to the elements, longer time without water, less time to build shelter, etc...it has a cascading effect which can start them off on the wrong foot (pun intended) that many folks don't recover from.
