Who should we blame for the Bruins loss in game 4? And game 3? And game 2? Of course we should blame the Bruins. They haven't been good enough. It is a difficult thing to admit when you are wrong - and The Sports Machine with Slim hates to say it - but Florida is the better team. Nonetheless.....Something fishy is going on in the series with Florida. Sam Bennett literally punched Brad Marchand right in the face during Game 3 in a play that resulted in the Bruins captain being pulled from the game, and then having to sit out Game 4 as well. The camera angle that the league had (which clear as day shows the dirty, dirty play) - wasn't released to the public until the day of Game 4. That is suspicious. In fact, it is outright illegal. A man clearly sucker punched another man, resulting in serious injury. Yet the league takes no action? They allow Sam Bennett to play in Game 4 with zero repercussions whatsoever? Well that results in the Bruins having to do something about it themselves......which results in the Bs taking a few penalties....which results in fewer shots on net....which results in a Game 4 loss. Im not here to say the Bruins are better than Florida. The Panthers have been the better team in this series. But the refs AND THE LEAGUE sure as heck have done their best to try to help the Panthers as much as they can. I am here to say that LOUDLY!

On "Cough Drop Day" we talked about the founding of the Smith Brothers Cough Drop Company in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1847. Our resident Hockey East Guru,John Leahy, analyzed Sunday's controversial call during the Boston Bruins loss to the Florida Panthers and we went back in time to play the number-one song from 50 years ago. Listen and find out what it was.

This week on Facing the Future, we'll take a close look at the status of Social Security and Medicare, the two largest federal government programs. In a new report this week, the programs' Trustees indicated that Social Security and Medicare are facing serious financial challenges that are not too far off.

Nobody likes to admit when they are wrong. I have noticed this more and more through time. As I've gotten older, I have forced myself to be on the lookout for times when somebody else might have a superior opinion. I can't be right 100% of the time, right?Harry the Celtics Caller called the show today with a take that has turned my world upside down. Maybe I have been wrong on this the whole time. Mabe the Boston fanbase isnt spoiled, fat and lazy. Maybe they are actually super intelligent. Today's episode of The Sports Machine with Slim is one for the ages. It will change lives. It will make you think twice before judging others. Plus, it will make you want to absolutely run through a wall to support our Boston Bruins team tonight in game 3 vs Florida!!!!!

I love coffee. Wayyyyyy too much to be honest. Anyway I thought that I fell into a fever dream when I found out that there’s a coffee event called The Northeast Coffee Festival coming to Concord, NH on May 10-11. It’s being hosted by two of my favorite coffee houses Revelstoke and Wayfarer. Alex Stoyle and Karen Bassett, respectively, come by and give me the deets on this event for all of us java addicts. There are going to workshops on espresso, tea, and homebrewing. There’ll be panel discussions, coffee tastings AND “drumroll please” a 2024 Latte Art Throwdown at the Bank of NH Stage! Much of the weekend is free, but, certain events require purchasing a pass.

It's Friday, which means the Friday Fun Bunch is in the WKXL Studios! Ken Cail interviews Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental and Kitty Rae the OFFICIAL “Flick Chick."
