Good morning!
Some random thoughts while I contemplate booking a session at TB12 to get stretched out...
- Will have some thoughts on the Globe's Alex Guerrero story (wonder where they got the idea for that one?) later today.
- And Bedard's Breakdown of the Steelers game. Need to go over the defensive film again to confirm a few things.
- Anton Khudobin didn't have a ton of work last night in Buffalo, but he was sharp and is always entertaining to watch. There are no routine saves with Dobby. Everything's an adventure.
- How many saves have Bruins players made the past couple of games? Torey Krug had a kick save and a beauty last night. Flashed the right leg.
- Come on, why can't the Celtics trade for Anthony Davis now? Let's just get it over with.
- Patriots right guard Shaq Mason absolutely got snubbed for the Pro Bowl team. Richie Incognito? Is that some sort of joke?
- And pssst, don't tell anyone, but David DeCastro is overrated. Average run blocker. Doesn't sustain blocks. Mason is twice the run blocker DeCastro is, and they comparable (DeCastro, slight edge) in pass protection.
- Welcome back to Boston, Tyler Vrabel. Yes, that's Mike's 6-8 tackle son.
And away we go...
