I gotta agree with AOB on this one; I don’t think this Bruins team has the “Grapes” to do anything other than go for the win. The irony of having the Big, Bad Bruins from the 1970′s in attendance will be lost on this team, IMHO. That Cooke got away with it in the first place is damning evidence against this team’s character.

I’m hoping I’m wrong. It’s hard to be a fan of a hockey team that’s gone soft *and* can’t win it all. But in this day and age of Bruins hockey, seeing them turn turtle is more the norm than seeing them kick some ass. Remember that Montreal series from a couple years ago? Ick.

“It will probably be the highest rated Bruins game of the season…..NESN will be happy.”

I was going to say the same thing. I’m not a hockey fan but I plan on watching the game to see what happens. I bet a lot of other fringe and non-fans will be watching too.

Totally agree about about Mike Adams. Because he was subbing on The Big Show, I checked out Felger and Mazz for the 1st time, and will continue to do so for as long as Adams subs. Adams is an unfunny clown. What’s worse is, that aside from knowing baseball trivia, he really doesn’t have an in-depth knowledge of sports.

I agree about Adams. I makes me mad he has that great job and so many others don’t.

Yet, I don’t get the Sheppard love because clearly I’ve seen you bash him back in the “rate the media people” thing a year ago.

….I don’t know, Clinton…..seen stuff like this happen before. Everybody expects all hell to break loose and then NOTHING happens. ….as far as TV goes though, It will probably be the highest rated Bruins game of the season…..NESN will be happy.

If Campbell wants to apologize, do so to Cooke and the Penguins for waiting until now to suspend him. It’s the only way he can stop what should be a bloodbath no one wants to see happen, but will now have to because of his inept leadership.

Thanks Colin,

I actually like Breen, Van Gundy and Jackson but Sunday was not their finest couple of hours. They seemed bored and distracted, hence all the talk about Jackson’s wardrobe. But I think part of the reason was the game itself. It never seemed at any point in the game that I felt the Celtics would win. I know it was close in the third, but other than Glen Davis nobody seemed to lay it on the line. It had a fait a compli feeling to it and I think it came across in the broadcast.

I will say that Hubie Brown will make any broadcaster sound better. I really believe there is no one better in the NBA than him. He is as thorough as it gets. If you had never seen an NBA game before, you would have pretty good understanding of the game thanks to him. At 76 he is tremendous. The only one who comes close is Dr. Jack Ramsey who is pushing 90!. Just like Brown, only on the radio, he gives you a clear picture of what is happening in the game.

One last thing, I would suggest everyone go to http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hockeynightincanada/ to see what Don Cherry had to say about the Matt Cooke hit. As you can well imagine Grapes pulls no punches and you will see just how amazingly dirty Cooke is and he has been barely punished for it. At 75 Cherry still brings it every Saturday night.

Agree with you about Pete Sheppard…I don’t care what anybody says, when he filled in for Ordway he was pretty good…..at least he seemed to like sports and kept things moving….Mike Adams is just too much of a CLOWN for me, I know some people think he’s funny and once in awhile he hits on something that will make me laugh but it’s FAR AND FEW BETWEEN….most of his humor is just lame….don’t really see what WEEI sees in this guy.
