Wait until you get into your 40s like GW. All downhill from there.

GW has a handful of years on me.
I know he is closer to 70s than 40s.

 

[TCB]

I'd pay 100 grand to be able to go back to my 40s.
maybe more.

Don't know what 40 feels like, been stuck at 39 for the last 16 years.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

classic, I didn`t realize you played on the same team, thought you meant you went head to head, that`s awesome

Connected with him through a site that organizes "competitive" 6v6 hockey. I'm past that age now tho where I just play occasionally with friends for fun.

Regarding the Authenticity of Marc Savard

I`ve never played any online hockey, I have a XBox which I flick on every so often on those days where I`m lazing around just for fun. My son has all the stuff needed to stay up all night gaming, constantly playing others online

[The National]

This drives me insane. The morning show is more entertainment radio. But that mid day show with Zolak & Beetle is god awful. 95% of their content right now is Patriots, and it’s OFF SEASON! Bruins vs Leafs playoff battle not important

Toucher & Rich is far more entertaining radio I agree. Zolak is lost speaking on anything but football.

I can’t listen to Felger & Maz but that goes without saying.

I don’t have one right now, but when I did I would create a custom player named Savard with a 99 overall rating. Every time lol

 

[13Hockey]

So I’m guessing

Marchand Bergeron Pasta
Debrusk Krejci Mojo
Heinen Coyle Backes
Nordstrom Acciairi Wagner

 

[BTO]

same game plan as game 2, soft chips, gives the B`s forwards far more opportunity to jump on the Leafs D and then as you say, hit em and force them to cough the puck up and for the most part, they eliminated those stretch passes and didn`t allow the Leafs D to gain easy outs of their own zone

Yup exactly. As you said, "soft chips". Their D coughed up the puck constantly in game 2. You have a team that doesn't like to be hit. So, you know, Hit them.

Boston can't score off the rush so don't even try to (I mean try if you have the opportunity, but don't make it the game plan. Game plan should be cycle, cycle, cycle, hit, hit, hit. Pretty simple. Always was).

 

[Mainehockey33]

Great news. I hope that means Johansson is on Krejci’s line.

 

[JCRO]

I've actually liked Kuhlmans game a lot. But I want Backes to stay in

 

[Blowfish]

Kulhman was flying out there...he should have been moved to the bottom of the line up. Good to see Moore and Mojo back.

Is Edwards speculating Kulman would be the one coming out?

no argument here, games 1 and 2, far too many Bruins trying to stick handle their way around the Leafs players who were/are all standing and waiting at the blueline. He**, even Backes was able to beat a few Leaf D to the puck as he just chipped it along the wall and was able to chase it down.

Leafs play a possession game, key is to not let them gain possession and IMO, those hard dump in`s is a certain way to literally hand the puck back to them

 

[ODAAT]

Kulhman was flying out there...he should have been moved to the bottom of the line up. Good to see Moore and Mojo back.

Personally I would have taken Nordy out and let Kuhlman ride on the 4th line and that isn`t because I haven`t liked Nordy`s game but more about Kuhlman more likely to help create something offensively

 

[CamMac]

Toucher & Rich is far more entertaining radio I agree. Zolak is lost speaking on anything but football.

I can’t listen to Felger & Maz but that goes without saying.

F&M are my favorite show on 98.5. I think their trolling and how they handle callers is hilarious. It’s even better when they have to eat crow, like they had to do twice this past year with the Red Sox and Patriots.

Also, Felger actually likes talking hockey (even though he often has bad takes)

 

[Blowfish]

I'm one of few who like what Nords brings to the team. lol

 

[rocketdan9]

Great news. I hope that means Johansson is on Krejci’s line.

I don't think so...

guessing the lineup will be

Marchand Bergeron Pasta
Debrusk Krejci Heinen
Mojo Coyle Backes
Nordstrom Acciari Wagner

Chara McAvoy
Krug Carlo
Grz Moore

 

[Mainehockey33]

Yeah, K2 would come out.

I don’t mind this move, because it gives them a heavy forechecking 3rd line. Kuhlman is fast but not great along the boards.

 

[Mainehockey33]

I don't think so...

guessing the lineup will be

Marchand Bergeron Pasta
Debrusk Krejci Heinen
Mojo Coyle Backes
Nordstrom Acciari Wagner

Chara McAvoy
Krug Carlo
Grz Moore

Heinen hasn’t played much with Krejci this year. If they went with Heinen in the top 6 it would make a lot more sense to put Pastrnak on Krejci’s line.

 

[ODAAT]

I'm one of few who like what Nords brings to the team. lol

have found his game effective in the series, far from a problem but I still like the potential for Kuhlman to chip in which is really the only reason why I`d put him in over Nordy. Either way, I have no issues with Nordy right now

 

[LouJersey]

Gryz looked very good on Moore's right this season.

 

[rocketdan9]

Toucher & Rich is far more entertaining radio I agree. Zolak is lost speaking on anything but football.

I can’t listen to Felger & Maz but that goes without saying.

we are like the opposite ... can't listen to Toucher & Rich

Toucher knows nothing about sports. And half the show is not even about sports.... I guess if one likes a hybrid show like this, they might find it entertaining

I do agree Zolak and Beattle is terrible. Only when they are sarcastic towards callers, its kind of funny. Also here and there some really good insight

Felger and Mazz is like -bad for you pizza- ... I think they do have some good insight at times

 

[Bruinfanatic]

Seems like every shot Kuhlman took was a mile high,so doubtful he was ever going to score.

 

[DKH]

Bruins tonight

L.O.C.K.

 

[ODAAT]

Seems like every shot Kuhlman took was a mile high,so doubtful he was ever going to score.

no but he does some good work on the wall and is blessed with more natural skill than Nordy. I`m fine either way TBH
