Hockey 2010-2011

The Bruins - Canadiens series is now best of three, with two games in Boston, thanks to an overtime win by the Bruins tonight at the Bell Centre. It was, I suspect, a great game to watch. I had no choice but to follow the game via text message updates while sitting in a symposium room at Harvard. As each new text came in updating me on scoring, power plays, penalty kills, etc., I guess I muttered "shit!" or "yes!" under my breath. At the end of the lecture, a young student from China came up to me and said, "You were following a sport, yes? I have seen this behavior in Boston before."
