Fortunately, the McAvoy was able to put one in the goal during the sudden death OT period and the Bruins took the 6-5 win.
They are in Calgary tonight to take on the Flames. Puck drops at 9:00 so I might be able to watch a bit of the game.
I have a new theory about why the Red Sox are not bringing in any new players.
Here is some information from Spotrac and MLB:
| Year | Payroll | Standing |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | $84 mil* | 5th ALEast |
| 2021 | $187 mil | 2nd ALEast |
| 2022 | $211 mil | 5th ALEast |
| 2023 | $182 mil | 5th ALEast |
| 2024 | $160 mil | ????? |
Imagine for a moment that you are the owner (John Henry and his minions). For three of the last four years, you have watched your team fail miserably despite spending millions of dollars on payroll. Your minions are telling you that the best way to build a winning team is to find good young players and develop them into big league players but so far, you aren't seeing results that make you think they know what they are talking about.
At some point, you decide enough is enough, you fire your HR guy (Bloom) and tell your minions to find someone that can build a winning major league team instead of building a great minor league team. Your team assumes that means they can spend as much money as they want but you point out to them that when they spent $200+ million back in 2022, they still came in last so money isn't the answer. You tell them they need to find another way to win. We can talk about money when we need to but money should not be the first thing you go for.
So they hire a new guy (Breslow) who says, yea, we can put together a winning team and he starts working on it.
My theory is that Breslow has a plan and the Red Sox ownership believes in that plan. They will give him the money he needs when he asks for it but so far, he hasn't seen a need to spend huge salary dollars for one or two guys. My theory is that his plan is to find players that will spark each other to play their best.
Then again, I have no idea what the hell they are doing or why they are doing it. I'm not a member of the minions so my theory may very well be a warm, steaming pile of male bovine excrement.
This is late because I've been watching a NASA feed of an moon landing.
Unfortunately, it's beginning to look like the landing craft may have done what pilots call CFIT.
For those of you that aren't good with acronyms, CFIT stands for Controlled Flight Into Terrain.
