Colton Orr Ain’t Gonna Help You Now.

January 23, 2006

For those of us in the Boston area we all remember a well known rant by former Celtics Coach Rick Pitino. It went something like, "Larry Bird isn’t walking through that door, Kevin McHale isn’t walking through that door. It gets played constantly on sports radio, and was pretty much the end of Pitino’s days [...]

NHL Pay Or AHL Play?

January 11, 2006

I read an article the other day about Hurricanes enforcer Jesse Boulerice, and how he has played in 18 of 36 games for Carolina, and hadn’t had a fight since November 16th. It went on to say that 71% of all NHL games this season have been fight free. That is up from the 59% [...]

No Reason to Watch the Bruins

November 29, 2005

I think I am going to be sick. The Bruins placed Colton Orr on waivers today. Mini Me O’Connell says he just isn’t needed. Boston has a very long and storied history of treating people poorly. One needs only to look back to the treatment of PJ Stock. Stock, a fan favorite, ne, a cult [...]

NHL Rivalries – Senators and Bruins

November 12, 2005

Happy Veterans Day everyone. If you are a Veteran, I would like to say thank you. If you know a Veteran, please be sure to call them and say thanks today. They do so much for us, and don’t get the kind of coverage in a positive light as they should. They are the world’s [...]

By Special Request: Frog Pussy!

October 29, 2005

That one goes out to Janet, one of the Goonsquad members in the Garden last night. Apparently she hates Drouin as much as the Charlestown fan in the opening of the greatest movie of all time. If I may borrow from the immortal Nick Brophy, the Goonsquad got stinkin shitfaced on the bus last night. [...]

God Bless the Replay

October 14, 2005

I was having a lovely dinner tonight at 7:30ish, not really thinking about the Bruins game I was missing. The waitress had just dropped off another Belvedere and Tonic, when my cell phone rang. It was Tweener. Now, Tweener and I are really good buddies. We talk all the time, mostly about hockey, and specifically, [...]

Colton Orr, not related to Bobby

October 7, 2005

MOL and I took in the Bruins opener last night. We had to bite the bullet and grab some club seats. $155 a seat is a small price to pay after a year off. It was great to be back in the Garden. The place was jam packed, and for the most part, the fans [...]

“Diesel” Dale Purinton below the hard deck

October 4, 2005

Saturday afternoon was a lovely day in Massachusetts, which I spent with a wicked hangover trying to start my lawnmower. The little bastard never did turn over, so the grass will have to wait. In between pulls on the mower, I went into the house and watched a little TV. While perusing the channel guide I noticed [...]

Boston Signs Orr

September 8, 2005

This is good news for Bruins fans. Colton Orr is as tough as they come. He’s a "classic" Bruin that would have fit in with the Big Bad Bruins of old. For those of you that haven’t seen him in Providence, this kid will be a fan favorite, and fast. Good to see the organization [...]
