an area that alot of "stars" do not want to explore. Stars today and the Millenial fans infatuation with scoring as a means of measuring a players greatness. Payton Pritchard out of all. Bench players that is 6'?

www.nbcsports.com/boston/bruins/bruins-beat-flyers-set-new-nhl-record-63-wins-single-season?cid=Yahoo&partner=ya4nbcs5 Nick Goss Sun, April 9, 2023 at 5:44 PM PDT Bruins beat Flyers, set new NHL record with 63 wins in a season originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston The Boston Bruins made NHL history Sunday by setting a new record for wins in a single regular season with 63. The Original Six franchise improved its record to 63-12-5 with a 5-3 victory over the Flyers in Philadelphia. Bruins star David Pastrnak reaches 60-goal mark with hat trick vs. Flyers Boston now stands alone with the most wins in one season, besting the previous record of 62 set by the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings and the 2018-19 Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bruins could set another historic league record over the final two games of the regular season. They need just two more points to break the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens' record for the most points in a single campaign. The B's have already set team records for the most wins, the most road wins and the most points in one season. The Bruins also have clinched the Presidents' Trophy and home ice advantage throughout the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It's championship or bust for the Bruins this spring.

The skew toward modern era shows just how irrelevant that stat is for long-term comparison

The skew toward modern era shows just how irrelevant that stat is for long-term comparison No, it shows that old school basketball leaves many points on the table, and we should be embracing the 3 ball.

If D is part of the "old school" ball. Assuming you meant that you dont see a reason why both *shouldnt* be embraced. If you consider D to be part of old school basketball, sure embrace the high effort D of yesteryear along w the 3 ball, no issue w this. It wasnt my implication that D should be under-emphasized, that wasnt what I was referring to. It is my belief that people still underestimate how much going for 2 as your primary offensive focus can hurt you, and it is my belief that is the primary reason why new school teams (embracing the 3) are more efficient then old school teams (built around the 2). Similar to changes we've seen in football in our lifetime. It use to be all about the run. You used the pass to set up the run. Now its all about the pass, and you use the run to set up the pass. Teams should not build their offense around the 2 ball, is my opinion. Of course, back door cuts, ISO-perimeter drives, inside muscle ball - all have their place and will always have their place. But I think that teams that look for these as top options, will continue to struggle with teams that use the long ball (and set up of the long ball, such as going inside to keep opposing Ds "honest"), as their first line of attack.

Well, he hasn't been a sieve. He's part of a unit that has performed well, but typically against other second units.

It shows rule / enforcement changes and an embrace of the 3 Yeah, I agree changes (like almost always) are from multiple variables. Nothing that has ever happened, has happened for one reason only. In this case, I really do think embracing the 3 ball is the primary driver why we see offensive efficiency going up. But theres other stuff too, Im sure. Change of the hand-check rule. Players playing for the foul (which stops the clock). In short: I dont disagree.

It shows that the no hand checking and quick whistle policies for fouls and taunting have produced a watered down product. Fines and suspensions for playing defense. Would Mchale have ever played again after clotheslining Rambis with today's officiating? How bad would the Bad Boys have been?

I mean that's part of any players job description, to play D regardless first or second unit How much time do you suppose he spent guarding the opponents best player? I mean there's a phenomenon making him #1. Are you saying he's the best defender?

Hauser won me over the last month
Start Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford and Rob Bench - White, Brogs, Hauser, GWill and Moose
And having PP, Blake and Kornet is a pure luxury. I love our chances - GO CELTICS!!

Start " White, Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford Bench: Brogdon, RWill, GWill (situationally) In case of emergency: Hauser, PP
Nobody else should sniff the floor. But really, we should lean on the top 7. Except for maybe vs Bucks, cuz then try to use Gwill as Giannis stopper.
This team was at its best in the beginning and late season. The thing they have in common during both those runs, 1 center at a time (not 2).

ATL is killing the Heat right now.
On another note - can someone tell me why The Sox sign players they know are hurt, and then pretend they are surprised when the player gets hurt?
In the meantime, our shortstop is hurt, the one playing shortshop has more errors than hits, and a VERY durable guy, who wanted to be here, and would have taken a home town discount, is currently in San Diego, hitting .325 with 3 homeruns? Isn't right handed hitting our biggest problem?? Makes me crazy.
