GAME 7 IS ON NESN. DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR AUTOMATIC CHANNEL GUIDES. DO NOT BELIEVE ANY PROPAGANDA OR DISINFORMATION. GAME 7 IS ON NESN TUESDAY AT 7, WITH THE PREGAME AT 6. BE. THERE!.

Happy Holidays! Contrary to misinformation (imagine that!), I am fit & healthy. I will not be in the booth for 2 more games: the Ottawa/Philly roady in January. I look forward to calling years of Bruins games. I am enjoying a holiday week family vacation. First time in 17 years.

Congratulations to Judd Sirott, the new voice of the Boston Bruins on NESN. A seamless transition and a perfect fit! A good man, a good friend, and a guy who has left his thumbprints on every rung of the ladder. I’m happy! So should be all the members of the Bruins Tribe.

What NBC hasn’t shown yet, regarding the unfortunate injury to Svechnikov: the Carolina wing playing hobby-horse, riding Chara on the back apron of the goal. You poke the bear, you take your chances. No one wanted to see Svechnikov hurt, but he bit off more than he could chew.

The Trump ad with the Fauci quote about “couldn’t imagine anyone doing more” running on TV currently is a lie. Fauci was talking about health workers, not Trump. Lying to the American public. The GOP sycophants’ position is silence. Remember their names. Vote them out.

So let me get this straight: NHL Player Safety calls McAvoy onto the carpet. But Kukan’s elbow on Backes? Hornqvist’s targeting McAvoy’s head during the ‘18 season? Benning’s upward shoulder into Backes last fall? Nothing to see there. Consistent inconsistency from NHL DPOS.

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning, heading to the Conference Final for the second time in 3 years. The better team won. Deeper scoring, healthier and deeper D corps, better goaltending. When it all calms down, Bs fans will realize the great run Boston had in 2018.

Optional alternate audio feeds offering regional broadcasters to call the games for their fans would be a service to the faithful who have followed their teams, as their regional broadcasters have, game-in, game-out, all season long. What does the NHL have to lose by doing that?.

Safe predictions:.1) This clip will live forever. 2) The will to win that drives this kid will earn him an extra letter on the front of his sweater some day. Observation:.If it's Marchand on the intentional shoulder to pick the head at the beginning of this clip, he gets 3 games.

Last comment on the "offside" that called the goal: a player is allowed to enter the zone before the puck if he is in possession and control of the puck. If playing the puck with one's skate and traveling with the puck BETWEEN one's skates is not possession and control, what is?.

Zoomed in blurry off angle with the blue paint no longer a razor sharp line and THEY CALL THAT BACK. As if it mattered in the course of the play. Not conclusive and unimportant in the spirit of the game. This is what happens when replay gets inserted into the game. BS.
