@TheAthleticFC @AdamCrafton_ as you saw there’s added security and complexity. It’s not an average commuter trip. They don’t do this to this level for the patriots

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) intends to almost quadruple its usual prices for a round-trip train ticket from the center of Boston to Gillette Stadium during the 2026 World Cup. According to the MBTA website, the authority usually charges people $20 for a return ticket from train stations in the center of Boston for special events such as New England Patriots games in the NFL, New England Revolution in MLS, or concerts. However, soccer fans who attended the exhibition match between France and Brazil at Gillette Stadium in Foxoboro on Thursday saw the price increased by 50 per cent, up to $30 per-person, without any options of concessions. The purchase regulations stated that children under 11 would need to possess a valid ticket. Yet even the prices charged on Thursday are set to more than double during the World Cup this summer, while they will be almost four times the usual prices asked of NFL and MLS fans.

@AdamCrafton_ To keep them away from the every day commuters. I had an Amtrak at the same time. With the new gates it would have been a mess having them all across the tracks. Looks like a rare win for the MBTA

This train ran according to schedule, just not particularly clear to me why it’s necessary to have fans line up over four separate sittings for almost an hour each to board a train from a city to a local town

On way to Brazil v France in Boston for @TheAthleticFC. A dummy run by the city of attempting to run trains to a soccer game. There’s 4 trains to the game in total. People have been told to come early in allotted slots. Line is long & little info here but fans being patient.

@Jessemedscience lol. Yet you called it

Terrible debut for James Hagens. Two penalties, 5 turnovers, two which led to goals, 9-TOI I have a feeling they send him down to Providence tomorrow — PROV plays Springfield… #NHLBRUINS #NHL #BRUINS

@NHL_Muse Debrusk was a hit. The JFK pick could have been nice but he never turned the corner

The Boston Bruins had three straight 1st-round picks in the 2015 NHL Draft (13, 14, 15)… and it could’ve changed everything. 👀 They selected: — Jakub Zboril — Jake DeBrusk — Zachary Senyshyn The next three picks? — Mathew Barzal — Kyle Connor — Thomas Chabot In one of the most stacked draft classes in recent memory… this is an all-time “what could’ve been.” Is this the biggest draft fumble in NHL history? Or is there a worse one? 👇

@HackswithHaggs Love people not watching the game giving their opinion.. I got the baby Bs on my phone .. and this is the same hagens I saw in Chestnut hill. 🤷🏼‍♂️ he’s got some work to do.

James Hagens looked perfectly fine in first period as a pro for the P-Bruins and it's an extremely small sample size thus far. But it also looked to me like the right choice was made starting him in Providence rather than in Boston. Definitely looks like he's getting his bearings

@ConorRyan_93 All they have to blaim is themselves

Ouch.

@rogerclemens Who are you ahead of steroid user?

🤔

@KasparianKevork @JeanFrancoisCBA Bruins fans have last faith in him? Gotta say he slayed the end of season trades last year…

@JeanFrancoisCBA Why would it have been a bad thing for the Bruins to sign Hagens right now to an ELC? This team needs help now. Sweeney has made so many mistakes in the past that this could’ve been the signing to make him look a little better to all of the Bruins fans who have lost faith in him.

Exactly like McAvoy, Demidov, Power and others, Hagens is too old for an ELC slide. If he signs his ELC, his first year is burned at signing. No game required. We are past the trade deadline so Hagens is not eligible to sign his ELC and be loaned to the AHL.

@SSCloser7 @TianoDom27109 He can if he’s not paid and doesn’t play a game.. but he’s going to prove himself In PVD and hopefully make the big team in a couple of weeks

@TianoDom27109 With an ATO, can he still decide to go back to BC? Just curious. What happens if he gets hurt on that ATO?

Okay. I should have said evening instead of morning. Who woulda... By not signing the ELC for next season right away, it leaves the door open to sign and play this season.

@MarkDivver Smart

Looks like James Hagens skating with Patrick Brown and Matej Blumel today

@HackswithHaggs @J_Swish24 Stop talking logically! Haggs, have you seen him play live? I have and he looked smaller. Very quick and agile in the college game.. but I was shocked how small he looked. I know what they claim his weight and height are but maybe they fudged that a bit?

@J_Swish24 Sometimes in this life, you've got to pay your dues and earn it. That's always the way it should be in hockey & that's definitely the way it is with the Bruins. If the A was good enough for Bergeron, Pastrnak and McAvoy, it should be good enough for Hagens too. That's baseball.

Donald Sweeney might as well send Jimmy Hagens to the Cheese Toast. Send his ass to the Maine Mariners. Make him really earn it Donny. You only took him 7th overall. #NHLBruins -People’s

@hockeyb40028622 @Hotgarbagelol @BruinsBenders Because they never inflate those numbers. I saw it with my own eyes vs NU. He looks small. Is NU a bigger team and that’s why? I don’t know… that was my first NU game.. but I do know he’s gonna get roughed up in the NHL.

@Hotgarbagelol @labellamundo5 @BruinsBenders He’s almost 200 pounds lol. I don’t get where this is coming from. Like he’s not 6’4…so what 😂? One of the biggest things scouts praise him for is his heads-up play. I think many Bruins fans have been effectively brainwashed by this organization

This James Hagens situation makes me question things even more about Sweeney and what he values. If Friedman is correct and the #NHLBruins don’t want to mess up chemistry then why bring in Reichel? Sturm played with his dad?

@Jessemedscience Like I’ve been telling you for weeks. He’s small and probably not ready for boston.

I really hope Don Sweeney is just trolling us… But if not: Listen, kid, just go back to BC and find the situation that fits best for YOU — you hold the cards and can carve out your own path and dictate where you want to play in 2 years James Hagens will have a tremendous NHL career and it doesn’t have to be in Boston #NHL #BRUINS #NHLBRUINS

@BruinsWyan @NHLBruins Sorry.. who said he’s NHL ready. Have you seen him live? He’s real small

@ConorRyan_93 Anyone covering practice at the AMP?

Bruins practice is underway here at Warrior. For those inquiring — no, James Hagens is not here on the ice.

@MikeGrinnell_ He’s real small

I think the notion Hagens could disrupt this lineup as they push for playoffs is kind of lame. They had no problem trading for Richel and tossing him in there. Hagens is the B’s best forward prospect since Pasta or even Tyler Seguin. He’ll be just fine. The team will welcome him with open arms. Toss him with Lindholm and Geekie on 3rd line. Great guys to learn from.

@_MikeSullivan He’s not ready. Put him in PVD like we did with mcovoy

Can everyone just shutup about James Hagens good god almighty, let the #NHLBruins organization and Hagens figure it out…does no one have common sense or patience anymore?

@emilymkaplan @ConorRyan_93 He’s not ready. Providence first

Massive Bruins vs Red Wings game on ABC in primetime tonight. Boston is on James Hagens watch after BC was eliminated from Hockey East. Don’t expect any announcement today.. Hagens & Bruins still have convos over next day or two on what pro road map looks like.

@joshhart Big second half.. this isn’t last years Everton but we’ll be fine

What happened to my club…?
