Banged Up B's

This is my first bruins thread. Since the thrilling victory for the bruins at Fenway in the winter classic the B's have been struggling. Losing the last 7 out of the privious 8. Since than injures were suffered by  Mark Savard, Patrice Bergeron, Marco Sturm, and Andrew Ference. Some are day to day but that aint helping at all and no one to call up from Providence. Today should make more help facing not only the team that knocked them out of the playoffs but the worst team in the NHL the Carolina Hurricanes.  They only won two games since the winter classic.  They held a number 5 spot in the eastrn conference and fell to the number 9 spot. An Ovechkin or crosby type player would be great right now.  There problem is the team can't find a way to score goals and they are lacking on being physical.If the team dose'nt improve by the time the olypics come in expect fanbases to drop down.

Where do the Patriots go from here?

After the loss to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday, there have been many questions raised on what options are available for the Patriots. Here are a few options that are in the best interest of the Patriots. One option is to fire the defensive coaching staff and hire new personel on that side of the ball. Another option is that they would need to trade Adalius Thomas to free up cap space. They also would need to find a third recieving option on the offense. There needs to be an emphasis on running the football; Pass rushing would also need to be addressed during the offseason. I have a prediction right here, this team is going to have to brace itself for a long-term playoff drought to start at some point.

This is the start of a long rebuilding process for the team, even Bill Belichick said it was so during the preseason.

Every team that has been a dynasty at some point has fallen off the tracks and it looks like it would happen to the Patriots as well, especially since Bill Belichick gives too many second chances to bad players and assistant coaches combined with the fact that there's no GM on the team.

Patriots vs Ravens playoff preview

Hi bostonaians and patriot nation, not only is this the first patriots and NFL thread but my first real thread. These Ravens had been though the road in the postseason not long ago. Their journey has had victories at miami, Tennessee, and lost in a nailbiter to the pittsburgh steelers {they won super bowl last season, they got eliminated in tie breakers}. The patriots are 5-0 all time aginst the Baltimore Ravens. This is indeed the toughest challenge yet.  The pats as we all know will be without Wes Welker for this game, all postseason, and half or all of next season. The pats are going to miss him espacily since he is one of the best slot recievers in the game. Which puts a lot of pressure on Julian Edleman a rookie reciver, he is mini-wes if the pats are going to win this game Edleman will not only explode on screen plays but have to catch the long ball.

 Keys to the game for the ravens/pats showdown
1. Who ever eccels at screen passes will be big factor.
2. Who can put a "stop sign" on the running attack.

Look on sunday for the pats and ravens to throw lots of screens and have a runnig attack. It will be tough for the pats to stop the dyamic duo of Ray Rice and Willis mgahee. The Ravens defence led by their heart and soul Ray Lewis and the scondary led by Ed Reed as people know they are going to try and cover Randy Moss forcing Brady to throw to inexperience recivers Edleman, and Aiken.  Ill have a recap on sunday or monday.


GO PATS!

An MLS combine Preview

As far as the MLS combine goes, it has just started today. Currently as the Roster of the Revolution stands, they don't have much depth at the Forward position and here are a list of some players coming out that would possibly add some much needed depth to the club.

1. Danny Mwanga (Oregon)

2. Teal Bunbury (Akron)

3. Andre Akpan (Harvard)

4. Andrew Wiedeman (California)

5. Zach Schilawski (Wake Forest)

6. Jack McInerney, U.S. U-17

7. Jason Yeisley (Penn State)

8. David Estrada (UCLA)

9. Bright Dike (Notre Dame)

10. Justin Davis (New Mexico)

After the combine the focus should shift towards the draft in Philadelphia where the Revolution might a couple of these guys. I'm not saying forward position is nessasary right know, I'm just telling you that we should start planning for the future. They don't have many forwards because you can only start two of them in one game. They have three forwards on the squad right know. They don't have much of a depth chart at all at the position as it stands right now. This top-10 list above is credited to ESPN.
