Boston Globe Shaughnessy wrote a full article on the Bruins - that's a sign that things are good

[mikelvl]

They’re responding to a new coach, have a former MVP on the third line, and plenty of locker room leadership. No wonder the Bruins can’t lose. - The Boston Globe

Tuesday’s victory over the Lightning made the Bruins 13-0 at home this season.

Granted it's everything that we already knew and he somehow included the Bird Celtics and Morgan Magic, but the Bruins are so good that even he can't ignore them. Not a bad summary of the goings on so far for those who don't normally pay attention, like himself.

“We haven’t even mentioned defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm. Or goalies Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman.”

Because he was busy with 7 paragraphs about the Celtics and Red Sox teams of yore.

The title of the thread should be this

Shaughnessy wrote a full article on the Bruins - that's a sign he is jumping on the band wagon​

 

[Mad-Marcus]

"F" Shank, the ultimate bandwagon jumper. Knows nothing about hockey, other than what he hears around the water cooler.

2nd class chimp.

 

[BMC]

Interesting he spoke with Joe Morgan. His first cousin Mary worked for us for many years.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

"F" Shank, the ultimate bandwagon jumper. Knows nothing about hockey, other than what he hears around the water cooler.

2nd class chimp.

The guy is an excellent writer.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

How many articles has he written in the last couple weeks talking about how much he just doesn't 'get' soccer and the World Cup?

 

[Mad-Marcus]

The guy is an excellent writer.

Don't confuse the ability to write well with having something to say.
He is a vicious band wagon jumping, kick the easiest target when it's down A-HOLE!

It's much easier to write about the worst of us. Just watch TV or social media. He was certainly out ahead of the trend.

Of course, in my humble opinion!

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

The guy is an excellent writer.

If you find copy and paste articles excellent then sure.

 

[jgatie]

The guy is an excellent writer.

Write the same thing over and over for decades and you too can perfect your craft.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Gotta jump on the bandwagon now so he can be first to shit on them when they stumble.

Couldn't be the Globe water cooler because no one over knows anything about hockey.........They only know how to polish John Henrys apple...........

 

[Gordoff]

Couldn't be the Globe water cooler because no one over knows anything about hockey.........They only know how to polish John Henrys apple...........

And how to TRY to dictate their opinion about hockey fights. They haven't had good hockey writers in like 4 decades.

For a very long time, I was a faithful Boston Globe reader, but if I had a bird, I wouldn’t put the Globe in my birdcage these days.

Dan Shaughnessy’s a punk. Plain and simple. He made his fortune on Red Sox’ 86-year World Series drought, and has been rudderless ever since Boston shed the “Loserville” label in the 2000s. He’s a self-important, self-righteous, condescending twerp. He wants to get on the bandwagon early in case the Bruins are about to kick off a Patriots-like run of titles. That way he can write about how he was there from the beginning and saw it coming before anyone else did.

Or flay them if they falter as another poster said.

F*** Dan Shaughnessy.

PS: He looks like an alpaca.

That is all.

I have mixed feelings about him. On the one hand, I think we share a cynical view of life-and of Jim Rice. On the other hand, he is a band wagoner, and character assassin who has earned the nickname "Shank." His history of the Sox is very mediocre-and I have read a few. He is capable of a good piece on any sport. For example, he did a good feature on Joe Thornton way back. But you have to endure the Shank persona to find one.

I went to the first Rolling Stones concert at Fenway - one of if not the first big concert Fenway had. Randomly, several media members were seated behind us. My family knew Sean McAdam who was there, so we chatted with the group a bit. Shaughnessy never stood from his seat. Not once. Sat there miserable for like three hours. It was nuts. But checks out.

Fran Rosa was the last..........

f*** CHB. This dude sucks ass.

He's been writing the same soccer article for three decades.

Dan Shaughnessy Has Been Writing The Same Soccer Column For 25 Years

Legendary old school troll Dan Shaughnessy has a real strong take in today's Boston Globe about how soccer sucks. There is no way, he says, that the overbearing Futbol Moonies will make him feel guilty for disliking the sport. Further, he says, it will never catch on in America, not least...

If you had a drinking game reading his articles and he mentions "tomato cans" you would die from alcohol poisoning.

 

[mikelvl]

The only thing that pissed me off when the Bruins won the Cup in 2011 was that the Globe allowed him to write the lead article. That wasn't right at all. He didn't deserve it. And the front page that is hanging in my mancave still doesn't look right because of it. That and the article right below showing Sal Dimasi going away for nine years.

 

[Gordoff]

I grew up with 3 of his cousins. Two of the 3 brothers died young. When I had the opportunity
to mention it to him (like, 20 years ago) when I ran into him at a celebrity softball game (IIRC), and mentioned how upsetting it was he shrugged and walked away. My wife and I were standing there speechless at his callousness. He's a smug piece of work for sure.
