After a well deserved run with his new team, FORMER Bruin leader Joe Thorton won the scoring title last night and pretty much wrapped up the league MVP. The scoring title was hopefully Joe's first of many and we will not know about the MVP tally until sometime in JUNE. Way to GO JOE... Next stop Lord STANLEY!
For you B's fans there is still hope that we land the lottery tomorrow and pick up the #1 pick, although this years draft is nothing special, (i.e. there is no Ovechkin, Crosby or Thornton up for grabs)

9 Things that should piss us all off!
This is classic, I think I am going to start doing the later half of number one, jsut to see what I get for a reaction from people.
1.People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2.People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3.When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4.When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!
5.When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6.People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7.When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8.When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9.When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Three points and one game away from Perfection
Joe has a three point lead over Jagr in the points race and he has one game left. That means Thornton would have to be shut out and Jagr would have to have a three point night. Not saying it could not happen, but the scenario is unlikely. As it stands Joe looks like he will win his first scoring title and the Bruins will look like the ultimate fools. This reminds me of when the Bruins duped the Canucks into trading Cam Neely for Barry Pederson (I know March you think Neely sucks, well he is a hall of famer and that vote is taken outside of beantown.) Still even if you do not like Neely, he was much better than Barry Pederson, who by the way was the last Bruins player to win rookie of the year before Raycroft and Sammy. Meaning that after management dumps Raycroft over the summer we would have dumped our last three rookie of the year candidates without a blink of an eye was the Pederson deal worth it? Yes in the long run, will the dropping of Raycroft and the tossing of Sammy be worth it? Not likely, who knows what we will get if anything for Andrew and I do not see Marty Reasner or Stasny becoming even a 30 goal scorer which Sammy was always good for. (Only had 23 this year but was hurt, and spent most of the year on one of the worst teams in the league.)
Congrats Joe you have earned it!

JOE WATCH
well the season as the B's know it is coming to an end (thank goodness, I can not "bear" to watch them drag their ass through another game).
That said, all eyes should now be focused on the former el capitan. Joe is only a few point behind Jagr for the scoring title and closing fast. I hope for Sindens sake he does not win the score title, after all I think that would be the final straw for Harry and he would be ushered out the door. After all he had to give the thumbs up for the trade, and it all came down to Joe spoke out about the way the team was headed and like many before him, he was ushered out of town for noting that the team was not gelling like management said it would. Joe is a class act and left Boston without telling the whole story, he was a true professional, to bad the team he played for was not just the oposite and will always be seen as the original six expansion club.
Oh yeah almost forgot, they dropped ANOTHER OT game lastnight! DAM IT!

Elevator training
OK am I anal or do others think that elevator edict should be taught in all corporate new hire programs. The elevators in the building I work in suck (this is actually problem number one) The fact that you have to wait five plus minutes for an elevator that is only operating on ten floors is pretty sad seeing that there are six elevators. Yeah I know someone is thinking right now that I should get off my lazy ass and walk, well first off I can't and second, I like being lazy, it is fun. Anyway back to the edict. A simple five minute class letting people know that when someone is trying to get off a jammed elevator and you are standing in the front you should EXIT the dam elevator and let that moron in the back out. Most people at my place of employment look over their shoulder and move two inches to the left or right (of course this is directly related to the opposite direction the person beside them moves) Now I would love to think that I could fit my skinny ass through a two inch crack but unfortunately I am wider than two inches and I fear getting stuck. Simple rule folks GET THE HELL OUT OF THE ELEVATOR when someone says excuse me, don't make them repeat it six times before you realize that your in the freaking way.
Motto of the day MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY.... Asshole (say the last part under your breath for effect).

Man rules to live by
This is courtesy of March. Thanks buddy this one made me laugh, several times!
1: Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.
2: It is OK for a man to cry ONLY under the following circumstances:
(a) When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
(b) The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
(c) After wrecking your boss' car.
(d) One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
(e) When she is using her teeth.
(F) IF YOUR A BRUINS FAN AND THEY ACTUALLY WIN THE CUP!
3: Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his buddies.
4: Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
5: If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever unless you actually marry her. (I did this, makes family functions that much better, its like having a beer with a buddy, or two or three or ... you get the idea)
6: Moaning about the brand of free beer in a buddy's fridge is forbidden. However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. (I have to disagree, we are no longer in college and Natural Lite is completely UNACCEPTABLE)
7: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddy's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice.
8: On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.
9: When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
10: You may flatulate in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she's officially your girlfriend.
11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free.
12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.
13: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
14: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.
15: If a man's fly is down, that's his problem, you didn't see anything.
16: Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.
17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that's just greedy.
19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you'd better be talking about his choice of beer.
20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she's withholding sex pending your response.
21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting
weights:
(a) Yeah, Baby, Push it!
(b) C'mon, give me one more! Harder!
(c) Another set and we can hit the showers!
22: Never talk to a man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e., both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.
23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.
24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you're feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was occurs.
25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.
26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colors of brown, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.
27: The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox. End of story.
28: There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Men's Gymnastics. Ever.
We've all heard about people having guts or balls. But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below.
"GUTS" is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, "are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"
"BALLS" is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say, "You're next!"

IT's OFFICIAL
Yup you guessed it March! The B's are now mathematically out of the playoffs. Joe thirteen is on his way to a 1st round playoff appearance, and you can bet the house that if he was not on that team, they would not be going. The teams leading goal scorer had one trick prior to Joe's arrival, he is ending the season with a franchise high, career high, and you guessed it league high four hat tricks. You could argue that it was not Joe's doing, until you go to the stats and see that Joe set every one of the hatrick goals (after the first one) up, not the second assist but the first assist, in other word the puck went from Joe to Cheeco to the net. You can also note that Cheeco (sp) never had a single hat trick in his career before this year, meaning he is not normally a guy who goes out and get a couple of goals a game. He was just a hard nosed forward much like Muzz who finally got someone who could set the kitchen table up with two arms tied behind his back and blindfolded, and this guy was not right for the Bruins? I hope JJ and Sinden take a hard look at the WHOLE management staff, anyone who did not step up and say Joe should stay should not be considered for the GM slot, there is talk that Jeff Gorton the acting GM (assistant under MOC) will get the slot. If he agreed that Joe should go then he is clueless and should be counted out, if he thought Joe should stay and was to much of a pussy to say it then he should be counted out. Bottom line he worked for MOC and he obviously bought into the system and it is now apparent that there was no system and that the Bruins need new blood, someone who is not afraid to say what needs to be done no matter what the affect on the bottom line is.
