Bruins Nation

The Baseball Writers Association of America is a group comprised of incompetent morons. Josh Beckett had a much better year then CC Sabathia! Their ERA's were just about the same (3.27 for Beckett, 3.21 for Sabathia) and Sabathia had way more strikeouts. Meanwhile, beckett led the league in wins, had a better opponent batting average, and basically carried the Red Sox starting rotation. CC Sabathia didn't carry the Indians, he had Fasto Carmona, another 19 game winner, to help him out. The writers had to submit their ballots at the end of the season, and now they all look like idiots. In the ALCS, Beckett beat Sabathia twice!

Here are some Stats to help bridge the gap between Saturday and Thursday's Bruins games:

The Bruins are 3rd in goals allowed
The Bruins are dead last in goals scored
Tim Thomas is 5th in the NHL with a 1.65 Goals Against Average
Tim Thomas is 2nd in the NHL with a 95% save percentage
Chuck Kobasew is tied for 15th in the NHL with a +8
Marc Savard is tied for 21st in the NHL with 12 assists
Marco Sturm and Chuck Kobasew are tied for 25th in the NHL with 7 goals
Marc Savard is tied for 42nd in the NHL with 15 points
