BSJ Daily Briefing 05.11.21: New site conversion starts TONIGHT; Taylor Hall is nasty; All 3 teams in action

Good morning!

Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins, and what's about to happen...

• Ok, the day has finally arrived ... we think. The new version of the BSJ site is launching tonight, starting at 9 p.m. The app should follow in a few weeks.
• First and foremost, this should eliminate all the glitches we have encountered with the site and app — passwords, logins, emails, commenting, etc. — should quickly be a thing of the past. HOORAY! (And thanks for your patience!).
• For about the 100th time, DON'T USE THE OLD APP ANYMORE for anything. We will tell you when the new app is available. A mobile browser is the same experience.
• When the new site starts it will take some time to work for everyone. We'll let you know on our socials when the coast is clear. I would just, really, wait until the morning.
• There are bound to be a variety of issues over the next 24-48 hours and we will be working through the night on them. See how your account looks on Wednesday morning. If you're still having issues, as always, email us at help@bostonsportsjournal.com and we will resolve the issue as soon as we can.
• We will not be updating the Live Coverage files tonight ... I'll try to update the scores in the headlines. Game coverage may be delayed a little bit while we navigate the new system.
• Taylor Hall called game.
