1. The Big Brad Bruins seem to be peaking at the right time....the Caps, not so much.

Felt bad for Chara.....he must have taken the loss so much more differently then the rest of his team. Zdeno-Mcavoy clutch was real.

Damn, we got contenders, again! Celtics, without Brown, probably are a stretch....but the B's are firing on all 12 cylinders. Every parts of their game is working and Bruce is mixing up their plays really well.

Oh those B'ZZZZZZ..can't wait..

Watching the Boston Patriots play the Bills at Harvard Stadium. Had been a pretty heavy snowstorm, earlier in the week, but there was still a lot of snow in stadium. I remember someone hit Joe Capp with a snowball to the helmet and he turned to the general direction of the perp and gave the double bird salute. That precipitated a barrage of snowballs back at him. Don't think Joe lasted with the Patriots.

First game I ever saw on TV some kid name "Orr" was playing ....I was hooked.

However, after his support for the TREASONOUS IMBECILE last year, my faith in Bobby is shot.

Still LOVE THE TEAM, however..

And I expected Washington to emerge victorious, primarily due to trading for Anthony Mantha late in the season.

Nostradamus I'm not!

Winnipeg came back from 3 goals down in the 3rd to tie it and win in OT.
