Quick Hitters

Technology’s great, until it doesn’t work. Been the case right here on Boston Score for 24 hours or so, Maybe this thing just hates me. That’s fine (he said, crying in his coffee). Anyway, did you ever think one day you’d be waking up to a Hannah Montana tune? Yeah, me neither. At least it was the live version of “Rock Star.” I mean, its gotta be better than the studio version, no?

Some quick hitters for you today.

1. I like the Bruins keeping defenseman Mark Stuart in the fold. He’s taking a little longer to be what I think he can be, but he’s a top -4 blueliner in my mind. Hopefully, that happens next season.

2. GM Peter Chiarelli is clearly enamored with someone in this free agent class, otherwise he wouldn’t keep alluding to it. Is it my boy Ryan Malone? I might start planning the Stanley Cup parade route if this happens. Of course, I could be out there by myself, but whatever. I’m liked everywhere I go. Heck, I’m liked everywhere Collins goes. If you have no idea what TV show I’m referring to with that line, you should be ashamed. I still watch that program, even though its been off the air for a decade or so.

3. Would it be excessive if I, as a journalist, were to beg James Posey to come back for a two-year deal? Is it even more foolish to think two years would come even remotely close to getting it done? Posey hasn’t gotten paid yet, but he does have two rings. I just don’t see how the C’s make this happen. I’ve been perusing over the list of players in his category that could be had to replace Posey, and I’m underwhelmed by them all. And on the note, Ron Artest can’t be Posey’s replacement. That’s going from one extreme to another. A team guy to a me guy.

4. Brian Scalabrine continues to swing the pendulum to his side as the Celtic I least want to see on the court (barely edging Tony Allen) but most want to hear do interviews. In this low-budget gem, he admits to a love for Rage Against the Machine and Metallica. I mean, how can I not give the man props?

(*by the way, the TV show I’m referencing early, SportsNight.*)
