Rask was first off the ice at the moring skate, which 95% of the time means that he is will be the starter.

Let's hope to start the week fresh.

A less than enjoyable weekend for New England sports.

Heading into Boston in about 20 minutes for the game, so lets hope for the best.

Got to say though, I really like DA having a post game hockey how on 98.5

For some reason I thought it was a road game tonight and wrote the preview and open thread post thinking it was. Had to re-write a bunch of stuff at 5:00 this morning before work.
