They didn't even come close

Last night, the Bruins lost 5-1 to the Blue Jackets.

Yes, the Bruins played like crap but also, the Blue Jackets goalie was astounding.

That guy made more amazing stops than I've seen a goalie make in a long time. The Bruins took twenty eight shots on goal and only one of them made it through.

So now they are back in sole posession of fourth place in the division with 19 points, 6 behind the division-leading Panthers.

Oh, and they are now also without a coach.

This coming Thursday, they will play the Utah Hockey Club. Puck drops at 7:00pm. Maybe the new guy will inspire them to play better.

Not much else to prattle on about so enjoy these links:

• If they really did knock down 5 of the 7 missles, we need to figure out what is wrong with our missles.



• Anyone that hits the lottery and says they are going to use their winnings to buy a boat is a fool.



• I said it before and I'll say it again: You don't want to mess with these people.



• Here's a sport I never knew existed.



• Oh Canada.



• Apparently the British word for "really big shit" is "periwinkle".

They could use a win

The Bruins take on the Blue Jackets this evening and a win would be a good thing.

The Lightning have won two in a row and moved into a tie with the Bruins in third place. And since the Bruins have fewer total goals, they are listed as being in fourth place.

Today was lunch with the boys and once again, we solved all of the worlds problems.

I'm telling you, if the United States Government were to put us four in charge for just a few days, we could have everything all fixed and running smooth as a baby's butt.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it...

I've avoided this but after reading this story, I need to spew.

I won't vote for a democrat simply because democrats don't give a shit about me. They are so afraid of hurting someone's feelings, they don't want to hear about what I want.

They are concerned about the people flooding across our border but they don't care about the rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc... coming in with them.

They are so concerned about "needs of the downtrodden" that they don't give a shit about the 100% increase in weekly grocery prices I have to pay.

They are so concerned about global warming that they don't care about the massive increases in heating costs I have to pay just as winter starts.

I don't vote for democrats because the democrats don't care about me.

They are more concerned about providing gender-changing surgery to a convicted criminal than they are about they are about my rising cost of health insurance.

They are more concerned about not insulting people than they are about the criminally-high cost of housing.

They are more concerned about defunding the police than they are about providing safe neighborhoods.

They are absolutely more concerned about taking away my firearms than they are about locking up criminally-insane people who are likely to commit murder.

• Only in Florida.

A loss for the Patriots.

They actually played pretty well today and I thought they might stand a chance but it wasn't to be.

The Rams beat the Patriots 28-22 this afternoon, pushing the Patriots back to 3-8 and tied with the Jets for last place in the AFCEast.

I thought Maye played well and he controlled the game as best he could. The offensive line seemed to be at least equal to the task and they gave Maye the time he needed.

Next week they'll be down in Florida to take on the Dolphins. Kickoff is at 1:00 and CBS will carry the game.

Missed it by that much...

The Bruins had a 2-1 lead through the first and second periods but the Blues decided to tie the game 2-2 in the third, forcing a sudden-death OT period.

That was when the Blues scored and won the game 3-2.

The only thing I'm going to say about the Bruins is they could have, and they should have, played a lot better than they did.

Next game is Monday against the Blue Jackets. Puck drops at 7:00pm.

Welp, back to full-blown suckage

The Bruins once again played like crap last night and they got beat 7-2 by the Stars.

They did, however, remain in third place in the division.

Their next game is tomorrow against the Blues. Puck drops at 1:00 so I should be able to watch all three periods.
