Hitting The Links: Wake Up Call Edition
Everyone's clamoring about how this game could be a potential "big wake-up call" for the Bruins. Unfortunately, the Canadiens had a game like that last night. Will they be tired from their 4-1 5-1 effort over Jaromir Jagr and the Flyers? It wasn't much of an effort, considering Philly only managed 22 shots on goal. The key to beating Carey Price and the Habs will be to shoot a lot and often, and to get those new lines rolling. It'd be great to see a big night out of newly-formed SKL line, for sure.
After the jump, which rookies will return to juniors, the NHL's Hockey Fights Cancer work, and a Montreal coach...fired?

Not sure if I missed this before or what but the Bruins are sending Nathan Horton around to a bunch of local rinks with a water bottle and garden ice. Yes, it’s the hokiest thing, but whatever. I think it rules.

I'm sure...
…that as long as Chara is able to check Carey Price into the turnbuckle at the Fleet Center, your Bruins will win…
But honestly, two struggling teams, both who need to win. It’s always entertaining when the Boo-ins face the Hab-nots!!

It's a stanchion
A turnbuckle is this thing:

They use it to hang up the ropes in WWE.

Lets not forget either that the operators of TD Garden have some intelligence and pad the stanchions to reduce the risk of injury…

the stanchions were “padded” in montreal, too.
Now they’re all curved.

Just you wait until the Jets fans get lost looking for the Shawmut Center.
In Memoriam: Dan Wheldon 1978-2011
Classic!
I liked Shawmut Center better than Fleet Center, but then I liked Fleet Center (remember that short-lived threat of it becoming the Bank of America Center?!) better than TD Banknorth Garden, and now…. meh, I like ‘the Garden’, even though it’s not the Garden.
