Welcome to the latest episode of The 617 Podcast, where we bring you an in-depth analysis of the latest news and updates in Boston sports. This week, our hosts, Michael Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan, discuss the recent announcement of Bill O'Brien returning to the New England Patriots as offensive coordinator. Ray is excited to see what O'Brien and Mac Jones can do together since O'Brien spent time with Mac Jones in Alabama. They also discuss this move's potential impact on the Patriots' offense and how it could help them return to their winning ways.
Next, we delve into the possibility of the Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup this year. We also dive into the team's core and how they have left much to be desired in previous seasons. They mention how the Bruins have been playing well lately and that they are considered one of the top teams in the league. They bring up individual players such as David Pastrnak, having a record-setting season, and Linus Ullmark, the team's goalie, who has a .968 save percentage.
Next, we break down the Boston Celtics, who are in first place in the Eastern Conference but have recently lost three out of their last four games against the Orlando Magic. They mention that Marcus Smart, Robert Williams, and Jaylen Brown are all currently injured and that Jayson Tatum has said that he needs rest for his wrist and is considering off-season wrist surgery. They also express their frustration with the team's interim head coach, Joe Mazzulla, for not calling timeouts during the game to reset the unit and regroup, specifically when the other team is going on a run.
Finally, we discuss the recent 7th Annual Red Sox Winter Weekend, which saw Red Sox Ownership and the front office repeatedly booed while trying to justify letting Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts leave the Red Sox. The hosts express their disappointment in the team's management for seeming cheap while charging Red Sox fans the highest ticket prices and concessions in the history of MLB. They also discuss the impact this decision may have on the team's future and the fans' loyalty to the team.
