No, they need NHL caliber defensemen. York and Dempsey aren't even AHL defensemen at this point. Thomas played very, very well on saturday against Ottawa and gave up some bad goals last night. What veteran goaltender is going to come in and do anything different? Nabokov? Ha! Overpaid and he's not even the #1 on his own team. Lewis needs to make up his mind. I wouldn't mind seeing Toivonen put in and told to sink or swim. The Stuarts will be returning soon, which will hopefully get rid of York and Dempsey. Maybe Jurcina can leave the doghouse too. Last night's starting defensive pairings: Chara-Lashoff Mara-Alberts York-Dempsey Compare that to once the teams are healthy: Chara-B. Stuart Mara-M. Stuart Lashoff-Alberts 7th man Jurcina. Or 7th man Lashoff. Either way, once everyone is healthy, Brad Stuart is either the #2 defenseman or the centerpiece of a package to bring physicality to the top lines.

My gal and I had the same exchange when I noticed that Lewis didn't use his timeout. As soon as Afinogenov scored his second, I knew the game was over. It was further over after the Chara non-call, which would have given the Bruins a 4 minute 4-on-3 powerplay in overtime. Instead, Mara takes that stupid penalty and they have to kill one off. Well, Savard is still looking good. Before they stopped playing with 8 minutes to go, he was starting to jump up more and got a nice pass for a little breakaway.

*then quickly puts out the $100 and stashes in his wallet with the rest of his communion money*

Probably because it makes them look like crybabies and the league wants to get away from that. Maybe this will be a lesson to not have a temper tantrum on national television and possibly make more NBA players start acting like adults. They dress like adults now, maybe they should start acting that way.

I saw the final score on the Bottom Line during the WV-Louisville game, including a note about the 4-1 lead...and I just shook my head. It's like they inhaled the suck that the Celtics left after last night's game. At least you didn't watch it. On Afinagenov's first goal, you could actually see the wheels fall off. Lewis should have called a timeout either after that goal or Afinagenov's second, which made it 4-3. Call timeout and starting ripping these guys. Instead, he purses his lips and shakes his head, like he's just been told that someone disagrees with him. Not that his defense is getting worn out. And for the life of me I can't understand why Jurcina is in his doghouse. Young, motivated, good size, great shot from the point, has a bit to learn. Yet...Jason York is playing. Why?

8 v. teams in your division = 32. 2 v. every other team in the league = 50. No need to complicate it with 5 of the 8 combined to teams from another conference...yadayadayada.

I'm not saying he should have drawn a call per se, but when he's bleeding from the eye after a skirmish with Gaustad who fled the scene like he had just murdered someone...you'd expect that the refs would call it. People don't just randomly bleed from the eyes unless something has happened to them. Gaustad will get his though. Still 6 more games to go, buddy. You'll be getting an invitation to a punch in the face contest. And Andrew Alberts will try to end your life.

Lewis had better tear them a new fucking asshole in that room after that display. Jesus fucking christ. You have a three goal lead on arguably the best skating team in the league, why not stop skating and go into a fucking defensive shell? A shell against a speedy team full of playmakers is like trying to catch flies by throwing cinder blocks at them. Although I question Lewis. Axelsson as the second shooter in a shootout? PJ Axelsson? I think Dave Lewis and PJ Axelsson are in the midst of a homosexual love affair. It's the only explanation behind the playing time that Axelsson has been seeing. Let's see...Boyes, Savard, Kessel, Sturm...christ, even Mowers is a better option there. And a big fuck you to the officials for that awesome non-call at the end of regulation. Nice to know that Gaustad is free to high-stick anyone he sees fit, especially the almost 7' defenseman. Brilliant. I guess the refs thought that tall people are just prone to random bleeding from the eyes. Must be the altitude or something. I need to go lay down.

3-1 Bruins after two. They're starting to find their speed and have played well physically the last two games. Phil Kessel does not look like a rookie in the offensive zone. He needs some work, yes, but he's looked excellent. Lewis finally reunited the BBS line and they've responded well. York and Dempsey are on the blueline, but even they've played well lately.

I guess the blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. Still wouldn't take him back, especially for the 2.1 million they're paying him.

Sturm and Alberts are apparently back in the lineup tonight against the Sabres. Dear Dave Lewis, Please take York out of tonight's lineup. Your defense can consist of Chara, Mara, Alberts, Lashoff, Jurcina and Dempsey. Please also give Dempsey the fewest minutes possible. Your Friend, Every Bruins fan ever, ever.

This could do to Will Ferrell what "Cable Guy" did for Jim Carrey.

Sat around in the dark at our new place waiting for the power to be turned on. No trick-or-treaters. We bought all kinds of candy, but it looks like I'll have to eat most of it.

Hey now! They signed Lou Pinella! That at least guarantees that they'll finish ahead of the Pirates.

Only if they move Plaschke to a neutral site and call it "Drop Bomb Here".

Never seen Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, eh? "Wrong, sir! Wrong! Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera..."Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera..."Memo bis punitor delicatum!" It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!" the bolded part is what he's saying in the .gif.

In absolutely staggeringly surprising news, Ed Belfour caused a disturbance in a South Florida nightclub, leading to Alex Auld getting three stitches in his head. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-spp...la-sports-front In the article, he says that he and Auld were "horsing around" with each other at almost 330 in the morning. But he hadn't had ANY alcohol that night. Riiiiight, Eddie. You'd have to bribe me to believe that...wait, bad choice of words there. I've never known anyone sober to be "horsing around" with another guy at 3 in the morning unless they were drunk, high or a fag.

Who was better? And don't say Clemens...

Nah, just rename the award and start using grit in terms of % Eckstein. Like that scrappy Podsednik would be a .7 Eckstein (enough to win the gold glove).

I'm sure they already gave the AL Cy to Santana a month ago.
