Good afternoon! (Better late than never ... late night at The Garden and then had some things to take care of)
A few random thoughts while contemplate the magnitude of a Boston sports sweep...
- The Bruins are moving with a fairly convincing 5-1 victory against the Leafs.
- I say fairly because Toronto carried the play for the first two periods, they just made three huge mistakes and the Bruins were Johnnies on the spot.
- Both teams were terrible getting the puck out of their zone. Toronto's D finally turned into the pumpkin we knew they were.
- Tuukka Rask was sensational ... and, yes, it was about time. He'll need to be this good for the Bruins to beat Columbus.
- Don Sweeney looks like a genius after the first four goals come from the bottom-six forwards.
- David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy were turnover machines.
- Make no mistake, the Leafs choked. Those first two turnovers and Frederik Andersen's allowed goal on the post showed that.
- I'm not sure which was better, the Patriots' defense in the Super Bowl or the Bruins' in the last 12 minutes last night.
- Boy, are the Red Sox happy the Bruins were playing last night. Getting swept?!
- Draft prep rolls on...
- Hey, the Revs have a chance to win a whole two games in a row!
