    Talk about a meaningless game for a once-burning rivalry.  I'd rather
    watch that puck bag sit on the bench than have to sit through another game
    with Rohloff taking 400mph shots that miss the net by 8 feet, and
    Odgers skating in circles away from the play, and Mallette appearing to
    skate fast, yet never in the play.  Tell you the truth, Sheldon Kennedy
    has actully been one of the most exciting guys on the ice....
    
    And boy do I hate when they have those Cam Neely tributes during
    intermission.  Gives me a knot in my stomach thinking about how bad the
    B's are....bring on Joe Thornton!!!

    
    So I'm about 10 minutes into my daily one-hour commute to
    the MKO Correctional Facility and I'm listening to WZLX waiting
    for my daily dose of the Stones.  The DJ, Charles LaQuadeira,
    starts talking about the letter writing campaign his show started
    to Jeremy Jacobs house in New York.  He goes on to mention that the
    station will be picking the best letter to win a special prize.
    I don't know who actually won the best letter, but "Honorable Mention"
    went to some guy named George McNamara from Leominster.  When they
    announced this, I scratched my head and thought, "Isn't their a guy
    in the Bruins Notesfile by the same name?" and didn't he recently
    post Jacobs home address?  And didn't he mention that he got this 
    address from the very station I was now listening to?  Being a 
    reasonably intelligent fella with a kollige dagree, I pieced together
    the puzzle and determined that the Honorable Mention letter to Jeremy
    Jacobs went to our very own mac!
    
    mac, you are our leader!  We shall follow in a huge revolution 
    against the Facist mangaement in the Fleece Center......
    
    ....Congratulations, dude!

    Ya, congrats Mac! How about posting your letter here so we can all
    read it?
    
    Hey, I was listening to ZLX (I believe cause I flip a lot) on the way
    in today and they were mentioning something about the possiblity of the
    Ruins loaning Bourque out to a team that is in the battle for the cup
    this year so he will have his shot at it. They went on to say that
    Bourque would come back to the Ruins next year....
    
    Now I'm not up on all the shananagans of the NHL but I know in soccer
    that teams loan out players to other teams all the time. Could this be
    true or is it someone's pipe dream?
    
    3-0 last night to the Canadiens and Hartford got thumped 6-0 by the
    Devils.......Thank goodness golf is just around the corner.

    ...Thanks, men, but all mac got wuz "Honorable Mention".....
    
    WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
    
    ...which means I got my name of the radio, but that's about it....
    oh well....1st prize is 2 Golden Circle Seats for the upcoming
    John Melloncamp concert....that would been da ballz.....
    
    methinks I deleted the message after I composed it/emailed it....
    wasn't really anything special, but I guess Charles liked it, which
    is OK by me......
    
    ...guess this is kinda what Andy Warhol called my "15 minutes of
    Fame".....misght as well N-Joy it while it lasts.....Jeez! I'm famous!!
    And it's St. Patrick's Day Week-end (my Patron Saint!)...and I'm leaving
    for Beeeeautious Montreal next weekend.....mac's ona roll fer sure....
    
    
    anyone wanna buy me a bee-ahhh???

    ....and Jerry...I heard that rumor as well on WEEI yesterday about
    Cap'n Raymond....if it were to happen, I *doubt* Raymond would come
    back to Boston.....it'd be kinda like your Wife sayin', "Ok, Honey, 
    I know you deserve to make-it with Jenny Mc Carthy, so go ahead,
    and then when you get what you want, comeon back home".......
    
    ya, right......
    
    (opps! Hope the Lil' woman ain't reading this note...*gulp*...)
    
    
    fried_day mac

    	Yeah, come on Mac, post your letter (expletives deleted of course)
    in here.  
    
    	I suppose the B's could "loan" Bourque to a contender. If I were
    Harry I'd run the idea past Ray and see if he were willing to do it
    first. If he were, I think it would have to be done as a trade. You
    know, the B's trade Ray to a contender for another player (a player
    that the contender used on a fourth line perhaps) and maybe a draft
    pick. When the playoffs are over the B's could perhaps purchase Ray
    back for a predetermined cost. I don't know if a player has to clear
    waivers before he's purchased or not but that would be one way to do
    it. Face it, most fourth liners on a real "contender" would probably
    be a first liner on this years Bruins. 
    
    	Dale and Gord made mention of the fact last night that with the
    loss to the Habs, the B's cannot escape having a losing season this
    year. They can't even get back to .500. This hasn't happened since the
    1966-67 season. Pathetic!!!

    	Whoops, you snuck your replies in while I was typin' Mac. Oh well,
    if ya haven't got the letter too bad. I was looking forward to reading
    it. Have a nice weekend in Montreal anyway.
    
    Barry
    

    
    C'mon mac....post the letter.  You know it's hanging
    on your refrigerator!

Way cool Mac you gnarly dude! You will now be placed on my mentor 
list right along side Hank Hill. And to think before today I never 
knew we shared first names. By a beer for ya? Heck, I'll name one 
after you.

Go Devils!

George H. 

Hey Mac, I hope you through your infamous analogy about
how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, into that letter!!

(gotta tell, I still laugh when I remeber that.. just too
funny..)

so you gonna post the letter or are we gonna have to have JJ
beat it out of ya! 

:^)

/pelksta.

    Congratulations MAC.......
    
    
    Hopefully the owners and management might get a hint.......if you can
    recreate your note maybe we can all take a copy and mail it to
    management......you know one for all and all for one sort of thing.....
    
    
     Enjoy your time in the spotlight
    
    
    
    
    
    

    Watched the game last night and your boys put in a strong effort. 
    Trouble is they all look like the have hands of stone!  Didn't they get
    a scouting report on T-Bo....SHOOT HIGH!!!  They made T-Bo look great
    by shooting along the ice all night.  He's dynamite with low shots
    'cause he's always down.
    
    The Montreal commentators (Michel Bergeron being one of them) talked
    quite extensively about the Jacobs comments.  They seemed surprised at 
    the endorsement for Sinden and O'Connell. 
    
    Bergeron also pointed out that Jacobs never said anything about Kasper.
    He said that the rumour is that Kasper is gone any day now and that he
    will be replaced by ....damn I can see face but can't think of his name.  
    He is currently an Assistant Coach with Tampa Bay I believe and is a 
    former Bruin.  
    
    Bernie.
    
    Oh Yeah, they also had a good laugh at the penalty shot call from the
    day before.  "Incroyable!" (unbelievable) is what they said.

Dear Mr. Jeremy Jacobs:

I have been a Bruins fan since 1969, I am obviously dissapointed in
the team's performance this year.  YOU control the destiny of this
team we so dearly love, so if I were you, I'd heed the calls that are
resonating throughout Bruins Country....PLEASE listen to our pleeds
for a good, quality, competitive hockey team. 

From where I stand, there are issues to resolve in order to accomplish
this:

* Get the #1 draft pick this year (by all accounts, it should be Joe Thornton).
Sign him to a multi-year deal!

*Build around Thornton after that, similar to what the Philidelphia
Flyers have done since they acquired Eric Lindros.

*Pump some dearly needed $$$ into this Bruins team, and sign a few
free-agent veterans during the off-season (YOUNG veterans, like Scott
Young-ish type players who will contribute every night).



PLEASE, Mr. Jacobs...heed our call for a QUALITY Bruin team, or else
all you'll have is an EMPTY Fleet Center and an ever-growing disgruntled
fan base.

Please feel free to contact me.

Regards,

George McNamara

well said Mac,, to the point, concise, and damn if it didn't
say what needed to be said...  if you were on the Team, they'd
be trading you...

    Where was McLeary last night?  Is he injured?
