    Not a whole lot left to say........
126.2There are none worse at this pointDIVER1::MACHADOCrazy on a ship of foolsMon Feb 24 1997 10:0820
    	With this loss the B's slip to dead last in the whole flippin'
    league. There are none worse at this point. Way to go Harry/Mike (dumb
    and dumber)!!!! I guess we can all take comfort in the fact that from
    here there is no place to go but up. Bob Lobel put together a pretty
    good show on Sports Final last night about how bad things are for this
    team. He placed all the blame right where it should be placed on Dumb
    and Dumber and Jacobs. He stated what we've all felt all along that
    Jacobs has no interest in being the owner of a hockey team, he's in it
    just for the $$$. The panel stated the point that the only way to wake
    up the ownership is to stop buying tickets. This team is the worst in
    the league, has the 22nd lowest payroll, and yet the highest average
    ticket price. For this team to get any better the only thing that can
    be done is to stay the hell away from the Fleece Center and let them
    play before empty buildings. Then maybe Jacobs will either wake up or
    sell the team to someone who cares. 
    
    BTW, did anyone watch the game? I didn't...

I watched the game, and I tell ya what,,,

Ranford has SUCKED since coming back...  and he's sucked 
big time.  not sure what the hell his problem is,
but give me Tallas anyday, at least I expect the
soft goals from him..  After it was 5 to 1, ghost
boy pulled him for Tallas...  but not to put the entire
blame on Ranford, Boston Bruins just aren't a good team
this year, not even close.

How bout that high sticking call Roberst leveled on Donato ?
Galley was hit in the face by a pcuk off Barnaby's stick,
and the Ref sends Donato out for 2 for a high stick.. WOW!
talk about clueless...  B's should decline penalties though,
the power play is pathetic.

This is the first time since 1980 that the B's have had
a 9 game winless streak...  (Man it's like someone
brought back Butch Goring..)


126.4suk-o-rama indeed!ASDG::MCNAMARAstrange visitor......Mon Feb 24 1997 10:2727
    ...I missed this one also, Barry....wuz spendin' some quality time with
    the Lil' Woman.....much more N-joyable........
    
    ;^)
    
    
    I'v been watchin' the B's since ~ 1969, and in that loooong span of
    time, this is the 1st I can remember the being in dead-last...I hope
    they only win one more game all season (up in Montreal March 24th, 'cus
    we'll be there!), get the # 1 draft pick, SIGN HIM to a good contract,
    then build from there....of course for this to happen, Harry will
    either have to die or be re-programmed....
    
    
    strange days indeed....
    
    also, Pinhead-Sinden released a fax to the League, essentially asking
    for offers to Oatsie (YA, Harry...he's only our leading scorer...)
    
    DUH!!!!
    
    
    "Bring me the head of Harry Sinden!!!"

    I didn't see the game but from the highlights, Ranford did not look to
    be too motivated.  It almost looked like he was letting them in on
    purpose!

    I hope the Bruins don't win another game all season.... Anything to
    help them get the 1st overall pick this year. Then Harry has to sign
    the Thornton. It seems that many teams have been employing that 
    strategy for the the last few weeks. The battle between LA, Isles, Boston 
    and Tampa for who is the worst is heating up... maybe they should sit 
    out Oates and Bourque. 
    
    I wish friggin Tocchet didn't get hurt.. There goes any chance of
    getting anything for that LOSER.

Oates goes on something like a 18 game point accumulation streak,
and 'have-another-scotch-Sinden' puts out a for sale sign!??!??!

MaJoR LeaGue loooo--who---who----zzzzzer!!!!!

Is there an EMAIL address that we can use to send these dorks
(Sinden / Oconnel) hate mail ???  Oh well, it's like the 
second round of the playoffs already, I'm totally disconnected 
emotionally from the sport,,  B's play tonight, but I got band
rehersal, and I won't see the game, and could give a sh*t less..
I used to think bad hockey was almost as good as playin good
music, cripes now, I'll take bad music over good hockey anyday.

I can't recall being that unattached to my favorite pass
time,,,  Watching da-B's and tossing back a few cold Sam's.

I be singin da blues, cuz Life just aint no good no mo...

    ....hey Pelksta...what band you in?  You guys play out in the area?
    Saw a GREAT band Friday night at Legends (Downtown Leominster), can't
    recall the name....also, I called the Broons front office, no email,
    just plain-ol' Post Office mail (how quaint!)....I posted the address
    in one of the previous notes...I sent Pinhead a scathing letter
    Friday, hope he gets it, and not one of his Secretaries....

I'm in a band called the Memphis Project, it's not really
a club thing, so doubtdfull we'd be at legends..  Although
I used to play in bar bands that would have been a glove
fit for legends, nice room..  atmosphere too!

But my buddy Nathan, plays in a band named Transit, they
play Legends alot (not sure if they were there this
weekend or not) and Nathan also plays in the Memphis 
Project with us.

(This is a function/show band, usually works the
bigger rooms, and special functions...)

hey, if you ever see a band around called Midlife Madness
check them out too,, some more of me pals...  good band.

(sad note huh,, hockey note, and we're talking about bands.)

    Hi Pelk,
    
    I share your malaise for the B's. It's just not the same and I'll not
    go into Jacobs/Sinden/Kasper bashing. Not that I wouldn't want to but
    Mondays are bad enough.
    
    Ah, Midlife Madness. Recently played the Singapore and I vaguely
    remember getting home. 8-o  (I was driven though!) Transit. Saw
    them too at Legends last week. My ears are still ringing...ing..ing.
    Of course its the lousy acoustics at that place. Saw the Memphis 
    Project once. Good tunes.....
    
    Pelk...I think its time for some Dic's Two Shed Ale.  8-)
