Ty Anderson: Take Five: Horton hears a two as Bruins handle Bolts

Outmatched by the Bruins, outplayed by the Bruins, outclassed by the Bruins. Great game by you guys.

I don't find you terrible, and yes I read the blog

I understand you probably have another job, if I had any complaints about your blogging it's that you seem to disappear for long stretches and that's it. I know you don't get a lot of traffic either so that's gotta be discouraging but hey we appreciate you Ty

Bruins looked great!!!

How many take aways did they have in the neutral zone????

I think this was the best played game this year so far by the Bruins

Still a little more work to do

Go B's

Other than completely disagreeing with you on Pooliot, you're the man Ty! Let's go B's.

Also, Johnston and Flynn were saying the radio this am that PC was at the Flyers vs Pens game and spoke with Holmgren for an intermission. Any rumblings of a possible trade?

Flyers are obviously looking for defense but PC is most likely only looking for an expiring contract or an affordable option (so you can poop can Giroux talks ) :

Talbot (affordable)
Read(would be awesome very affordable)
Fedentenko expiring( Meh...)
Knuble( eh...He would be the "Recchi" move)

Perhaps a Bartkowski for Knuble deal? Just throwing poop out there...

I usually come check out you blogs I don't mind at all when you get carried away like the first bruins sabres blog of the year stuff like that is entertaining and I have always been a fan of the fights so it doesn't come off as being a tool or whatever others might call you or say about what you write. You and Todd have it tough both blog for good teams and get very little traffic we appreciate what you guys do keep it up !

Haha the good news is that the whole disappearing for stretches thing is over. For a while I was working a job in the city that would take me out of action from 7am-7pm everyday 'cause of the commute, so I was getting burnt the hell out. Back working locally though, so that's awesome.

I try not to read into these things too too much 'cause GMs have conversations almost every game, but it was different to see PC taking the game in opposed to one of the club's scouts. That being said, if the Bruins are looking to add anybody, it'd be a forward, but which one is a completely mystery to me.

They're unlikely to add a big contract up front given the logjam and decreasing cap, so it'd have to be a rental, and the Flyers are big on landing right-handed defensemen right now, and the Bruins have three: Boychuk, McQuaid, and Hamilton. Now, if you're to move Boychuk, then the game changes when it comes to adding a contract that still has some years on it. I think the Boychuk contract has been a mistake from the get-go, and wouldn't mind seeing it moved, but the price has to be right.

I like Boychuck, great shot, solid defensively, overpaid? Maybe if only compared to Seidenberg, who might be one of the most underpaid players in the league. I'm more comforable with boychuck at 3.3 than with Peverley at 3.2 for what its worth. I wouldnt shed a tear if they moved Ferrance, he jsut seems too prone to make mistakes at bad times.

ugggg, knuble would be a 3-5 goal a year player in our system. He was never that good, now he's not that good and old. Heck, lets just bring back PJ Axelson if we're gonna walk down memory lane.
