Good morning!
A few random thoughts while I wonder which Patriots we'll see on the TD Garden stadium board ... shirtless David Andrews?
- Game 2 tonight at the Garden. Don't know about you, but this feels a lot like the Carolina series ... actually, it's worse for the Blues.
- The Hurricanes should have won Game 1 if it wasn't Tuukka Rask playing out of his skull. The Blues could have won Game 1 ... but Rask didn't have to do anything, the Bruins just knocked off their rust and dusted the Blues.
- Once the Bruins found their legs in the second period, you got the distinct impression St. Louis could no longer hang.
- Let's see what the Blues do in this spot. Carolina folded and the series was basically over. Can the Blues thwart the Bruins? We'll see. It may take Jordan Binnington pulling a Rask. Binnington was very good in Game 1, but he's going to need to be All-World for St. Louis to win this one.
- The Red Sox' bullpen absolutely imploded last night. It will lead to a lot of overreaction and Craig Kimbrel opinions today, but it's too early for that. One bad night does not a season make. This team has bigger issues than that — and even those will get worked out.
- Good look at the Dustin Pedroia options.
- Patriots roster breakdown.
