Excellent "catch" on remembering Jackie Smith. A man went his entire HS, College, Pro career for that one memorable moment and then completely failed to execute his reason for being on the team. It led Donnie Moore to an untimely end.
Quiet ! You will wake up the Bruins who are sleepwalking through about half the opener. Chara reminds me why it is the rare athlete who can play much beyond 40. Anxious to see Tom Brady this fall keep his excellence going.
The good news is that the Bruins did wake up, due to Thunder's noise, and scored a couple goals in the second period to tie it up. Meaning the 3rd period will be all out skating and shooting.
I think the fail is using Pops as a lead off hitter. He needs to be a #6 or #7 guy, given his production. Other than Betts there is not a true leadoff hitter with a good OBP and power.
Love to see another Rask shutout. Interesting to see what the 10 days off does in the first period. Who will start hitting to gain some dominance, probably the Blues at first.
Regrettably , this is happening too much this month. If they came around to normal, we'd be the Beast in the East again. We are starting to get more and more from the bottom 3 of the lineup, which makes a huge difference
Tito's world is heading south, like the midnight greyhound to Pawtucket. Guardians suffering the IL pitching rotation blues
Eckersly points out Guardians didn't pursue anything significant in the off season and lost Brantley. Must be a luxury tax deal from weak ownership.
