PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jimmy Vesey ? One of the reasons  Jimmy Vesey  didnât sign with  his  hometown Bruins when the Harvard product was a college free agent in 2016 was because  he  wanted to get out of  his  comfort zone.  He  sure looks comfortable playing against them.
 Vesey  scored twice in a 29-second span in the first period in the Rangersâ 4-2 home win Wednesday night against Boston  the Blueshirtsâ fifth straight win as they continue to distance themselves from their rough start to the year.
For Buchnevichâs fellow sophomore Vesey  Wednesday represented some progress in that he remained a contributor until the final horn. In three of the previous five games   Vesey  had either had limited third-period ice time or been benched altogether for the third.

âMaybe he wasnât finishing on a lot  but  Jimmy  was working hard and  like you saw (Wednesday) early on  before he scored the goals  he made a couple real strong plays along the wall in our end that permitted us to get the puck out â Vigneault said. âSo thereâs more than just finishing.â

 Max Scherzer  heard  his  name and thrust  his  arms in the air  shouting and smiling big before turning to kiss  his  wife.
 The animated Scherzer of the Washington Nationals  coasted to  his  third Cy Young  winning Wednesday for the second straight year in the National League.  He  breezed past Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw  drawing 27 of the 30 first-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
 Scherzer  yelled "yes!" when  his  award was announced on MLB Network  a reaction in keeping with  his  expressive reputation.  He  showed that intensity often this year  whether  he  was cursing under  his  breath like a madman during  his  delivery or demanding â also with expletives â that manager Dusty Baker leave  him  in the game.
 Scherzer 's win moves him into rare company. He's the 10th pitcher with at least three Cy Youngs  and among the other nine  only Kershaw and Roger Clemens aren't in the Hall of Fame.
"That's why I'm drinking a lot of champagne tonight "  Scherzer  said.
 Scherzer  earned the NL honor last year with Washington and the 2013 American League prize with Detroit.
 Scherzer  was 16-6 with a career-best 2.51 ERA this year. The 33-year-old righty struck out a league-leading 268 for the NL East champion Nationals  and in an era noted for declining pitcher durability  he eclipsed 200 innings for the fifth straight season. He had to overcome a variety of ailments to get there  and Washington's training staff was high on his thank-you list.
Kluber and Scherzer both had rough outings in the playoffs. Kluber gave up nine runs over two starts in an AL Division Series against the Yankees  and  Scherzer  blew a save in the decisive Game 5 of an NL Division Series against the Cubs.
 Scherzer  said  he  couldn't even watch the League Championship Series  although  he  did tune in for the World Series.
"That will eat at  me  this whole offseason "  he  said.

Neutral
