And we are being proven right as the days go by. All you need to do is Trust in Monty! The Bruins win last night to go up 1-0 over the Florida Panthers. The Boston Celtics win tonight to go up 1-0 over the Cleveland Cavaliers ..read more

The Kentucky Derby was Saturday. That's kind of a big deal. But in the land of The Sports Machine with Slim, it hardly registers a mention. The Boston Bruins have defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs and now move onto a series vs the Florida Panthers. Game 1 is tonight. Thomas Poeck helps us relive the game 7 victory over Toronto and then Matty from the Benders Podcast helps turn our attention fully to the matchup vs Florida.

We opened the week discussing an incredible weekend in sports...the closest finishes ever for both the Kentucky Derby and a NASCAR Cup Series race. It was also a big weekend for the Boston Bruins as they were able to advance into the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. We talked about that with our hockey analyst, John Leahy. Also discussed; the Tom Brady Netflix Roast, local theatre and a hearing ahead this week to tackle the issues of the parking spaces requirements for the re-imagined design of the Steeplegate Mall area in Concord ..read more

The Sports Machine with Slim is down and out. The Bruins loss in game 6 has us feeling like it was a game 7 loss and the series is over. Panic has set in. Negativity has set in. But then from the ashes, some hope from our loyal caller fanbase arises!!! Still, reality has to set in at some point. The Bruins lost a 3-1 series lead last year to Florida. We are now in the same exact position with Toronto, hosting game 7 on our ice Saturday night. I guess it is time to get up off the canvas, dust ourselves off and get ready to go another 12 rounds. Let's hope we can land a lucky haymaker and move o ..read more

While many Boston fans are "worried" about losing tonight, worried about a repeat of blowing a 3-1 series lead, worried about lineup changes, etc - The Sports Machine with Slim is experiencing a different emotion: Anger. This is a Boston fanbase who had been through 20 years of pretty much nonstop winning up until about 5 years ago when Tom Brady left the Patriots. We always expected to win when he was here! Next Man Up! All that type of stuff. We were winners. Are you telling me now that we are all hardcore losers? We are the type of fanbase whose team blows 3-1 1st round series leads every y ..read more
