Hockey 2010-2011

I believe Bobby Orr and company really sparked Boston's love affair with hockey and that affair is still going strong

The Red Sox yesterday changed the start time of Saturday's game from 7:00 pm to 1:00 pm so everyone could get home from the ballpark in time to watch the Bruins!

Wow! What a hockey game. Unfortunately, the outcome wasn't what I had hoped for, with Vancouver scoring with 18.5 seconds left in the third period.

By the way, Alex Burrows clearly bit Patrice Bergeron at the end of the 1st period, and it's hard to imagine a suspension not coming his way.

The video doesn't lie:

Well, other than the actual outcome at the end, I could not agree more with the sentiment bolded in the quote from Jen above.

Everyone knows that when one watches a hockey game finger food is one of the treats served at bars and homes everywhere.

He may get a fine, but I don't see him getting suspended for it(due to it being the Cup finals). It was bushleague on his part, but it's not like it hasn't happened before(didn't someone nibble on Savard's fingers a couple of years ago?). I can see (perhaps) biting if someone is trying to stick their fingers down your throat, but it looked like Burrows moved his head to perform his bite. Not cool.

As to the game, it was a very good game(from what I saw online as I was working). I think that Vancouver carried the play the back half of the third period and Boston was on their heels a little, but Tim Thomas was being Tim Thomas. He will deservedly win the Vezina this year. Even though it was a low scoring game, it was still full of excitement.

The damned refs better not try to dictate the flow of the game like they did in game #1. That was ridiculous!

I could not agree with you more.
