Leafs star Auston Matthews out for tonight's game, upper body, day to day. Leafs do have a winning record, 35-19, I think, when he's out of line-up. Leafs haven't beaten the dreaded Bruins in a couple of years.

Yeesh - “shootout”??? - “shutout” was more like it - neither contest was as close as envisioned - they had 3 PP goals - gotta be better than that/guessing we will be

Grover Cleveland, Democrat - 22nd & 24th U.S. president, 1885-89, 1893-97

Donald Trump, Republican - 45th & 47th U.S. president, 2016-20, 2024-28

that’s how history books will read in future generations - Grover Cleveland always stood out like a sore thumb among U.S. presidents b/c of his separate terms, now he has company

Cleveland was 56 years old when he took office for his 2nd term, a full 22 years younger than Trump

The nation was w/out a VP in 1885-89, Cleveland’s 1st term - his VP died shortly after inauguration, leaving the office vacant 

the VP in his 2nd term was a familiar name in 20th century politics - Adlai Stevenson - young Adlai later became U.N. ambassador & a fixture in 1950s-60s era politics

at any rate there’s a real history there🇺🇸

Anyone for music talk? I heard Fleetwood Mac’s version of Black Magic Woman recently, had never heard it b4

Tango in the Night I think is a good FMac album 

I love the ABB - overnight, it seemed to go from Duane/BO to Chuck/Lamar

of course we’ll never know how that 2nd six man band would’ve sounded had Berry lived 

later add, awesome to see old friend Robert Williams III tear it up w/13 pts 5 reb 1st half tonite - he & Grant Williams both were good players for us

No Trop next year - TB is going to play their homes games at the house that Steinbrenner built, Steinbrenner Field, at NYY’s spring training facility - capacity 11G

If that was new, and you liked it, then you should look into the rest of FM with Peter Green.

Yeah am not too familiar w/that era - Peter Green is right there w/Mike Bloomfield as one of the greats, not to mention Duane Allman & Dickey Betts, Roy Buchanan & Lonnie Mack, Buddy Guy & Albert King, Johnny Winter & Stevie Ray Vaughan…..🎶

fun to be surprised by ones outta left field like that, like For What It’s Worth by Cher, All Along The Watchtower by Brewer & Shipley….

It now looks like the kayaker faked his death after a reported drowning this summer at a Wisconsin lake

he staged his death & fled to Europe, they’re now saying, to meet up w/a girl he met online

abandoning a wife & 3 kids in the process

now they’re apparently onto him

craziness - wattaworld 

It’s hard to understand why Lindsey would want to race again

she’s 40 years old, she’s been retired since 2019, she’s had crashes/surgeries, has won multiple events, doesn’t need the $ - the first hard crash could be devastating for her - bad call imo🎿 

can recall when 1972 Olympic multi gold medalist, swimmer Mark Spitz, tried a comeback much later on in his 40s - the publicity was great, the event fell short

it’s always been hard for athletes who’ve been at the top, to retire - keep smiling & please keep it between the ditches, Lindsey 

Home ice advantage

its a saying that’s applied forever - probly predates O6

Our team, our O6 Broonz, made a mockery of it last year - 16 home losses as of late in the season

-

we needed that game last nite, had an W2 going into it

didn’t happen - played decent, outcome, our 5th straight L on home ice - it’s crazy - you’d have to look it up for days to find out when that last happened

the club is out of sorts right now - Firing Montgomery Was Not The Answer - said so right off - we pull the plug too quick on coaches - all he did was compile the greatest single-season record in NHL history, 135 points

i get mad at Broonz sometimes - good thing it’s still early

back&gold forever

It doesn’t get any easier

behemoth back to back tmrw here w/Red Wings, Wed at ChiHawks 

we need ChiHawks to go up there & smack Leafs tonite

elsewhere, Rangiz 4 Habs 3 Sat

& Sunday, a treat as all the greats gathered for B’s-Habs game to mark the 100th anvrsry of the very first Broonz game - w/the-then Montreal Maroons, at the old Boston Arena

all the greats were there, incl a message from the great Harry Sinden, 92 - watta treat

it tells the boys one thing - Sweep Or Bust - of this 3-game O6 set
