And yet another win

The Bruins beat the Blackhawks 4-2 last night and it was actually a really good game to watch.

Both teams played hard and they mixed it up a bit but nothing nasty. Zadarov is proving to be the Bruins enforcer, making sure that anyone who messes with his teammates pay a price. I gotta be honest with you, they guy is 6'6" and weighs 250. I wouldn't want to mess with him...

They are three points behind the Maple Leafs and one point behind the Panthers. If they can continue playing the way there are currently playing, they stand a real good chance of moving to first place in the division.

Their next game is Saturday when they will take on the Flyers. Puck drops at 1:00pm.

Another win

Despite the streamingness of last nights game, I was able to keep tabs on it and actually see some video of the highlights.

The Bruins beat the Red Wings 3-2 in overtime, taking the two points and moving to within three points of the division leaders.

They take on the Blackhawks tonight and the game is being carried by TNT. That means I can watch it.

Puck drops at 7:30.

Pat's new WOPR has arrived

Now all we have to do is put it together and fire it up.

If the lights dim in Western Mass sometime in the next week, it'll probably be Pat pushing the ON button on his new beast.

Yes, there is a sportings tonight

The Red Wings are in Boston to play the Bruins this evening. That means I have my entertainment for the night.

I still have a lot of DVRs so even when there aren't any sports, I have things to watch.

I tell you this because I know you are concerned about the quality of my entertainment and I want to assure you that I am indeed entertained.

Looks like no one, including all the democrats, is happy that Goofy Joe lied when he said he wouldn't pardon his son.

I got news for all of you unhappy people: Biden has been lying to you since he was the vice president.

He's not only very good at lying, he's very good at playing his lies off as him just being confused or elderly.

Time once again for an update on roster moves the Red Sox are making during the off season.

Holy Crap! The Red Sox went and got themselves a pitcher who I've heard of!

Granted, he's not the same guy he was when he was pitching for the Yankees and I'm not sure he is a good addition to the team but he's got a history of being able to get guys out. This may not be a terrible idea on Breslow's part.

This has been your update on roster moves by the Red Sox.

I live in New England. Specifically, I live in western/central Massachusetts.

We get snow here in the wintertime. Sometimes we get a little snow, sometimes we get a shitload of snow. No matter how much we get, I can assure you that people will panic.

The weather service is predicting some snow for us on Wednesday night into Thursday morning and based on past history, I'm willing to bet the grocery stores will be crowded on Wednesday afternoon because everyone will suddenly need bread, milk and batteries. Also, schools will be closed on Thursday because the roads will be "treacherous".

Did I mention that they are predicting between 1 and 3 inches?

No, that is not a lot of snow but it is more than enough to send our school administrators into a frenzy and turn up the anxiety juice on all the people who tend to panic over things like snow.

As for me, I'm good. My wife is now a member of the retired community so she has no place she has to be on Thursday morning. That means we can take our time shoveling our driveway. If we do actually get three inches, I might break out The Beast just to put it through its paces and make sure it's still fully functional.

• I can relate because I also hated going to the dentist when I was a kid.



• Japan: It's not like where we live.

The Bruins won.

The Bruins managed to hold on nd win last nights game, beating the Canadiens 6-3 and moving back above .500.

They are now in third place in the division, still only four points behind the Panthers.

Their next game is tomorrow against the Red Wings. This is another one of those streamed games so I won't be able to watch it unless I sign up for Hulu.

I'm not signing up for Hulu...

Goofy Joe musta forgot that he said he wouldn't pardon his son because yesterday he pardoned his son.

Look, I'm a dad. If one of my children got into trouble, I would do whatever I could to get him out of trouble. That includes pardoning them if I had that power. Where Biden failed is when he said he wouldn't do it.

What he should have said was, "Look, I'm a dad and I will do almost anything to help my son. When the time comes for me to make whatever decisions need to be made, I will make them."

Trump tossed pardon's around like they were party favors when he was president. Then again, he kinda had to toss them around because almost every one of his staff was convicted of a crime...

Biden is a boob but he's also a dad. If he had let his kid go to prison when he had the power to stop it, that would have made him a shitty dad in my book.

That was a painful loss

The Patriots scored first and ended the first quarter down 7-6.

They score again in the second quarter and ended the half up 14-16.

They did not score in the third quarter and ended that quarter down 17-16.

In the fourth quarter, they scored a touchdown and a conversion, going up 24-17. The Colts then scored touchdown and a conversion, going up 24-25.

With 1 second left in the game, the Patriots attempted a 60 yard field goal that came up short, ending the game with a 24-25 loss.

Could they have won the game? Yes they could but instead of scoring, they decided to commit infractions and get penalized when they were within a few yards of the end-zone. If they had avoided those penalties, I'm confident they would have probably scored two additional touchdowns.

Oh well. According to Robert Kraft, a guy who I think is half in the bag every time he gets interviewed, they are in a rebuilding year...

In other sport stuff, today's Bruins game is on the anniversary of their first game, 100 years ago and are beating up on the Canadiens right now.

They are in the third period and the Bruins are up 5-3.

Hopefully they continue to play good during the final five minutes and they win their "Centennial Game"
