GLENDALE, AZ - DECEMBER 28: Tyler Seguin #19 of the Boston Bruins dives for a loose puck during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on December 28, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)

With that 2-1 overtime victory last night, the Bruins are now second in the NHL. Remember when they were second to last on Halloween? Well, maybe let's just forget about that.

All that matters is the Bruins are doing well right now on their nine day road trip (which is only three games, but that's what Tyler Seguin's twitter said). If you're all about looking at fomer Bruins on their new teams without actually following that team more than when they play the Bruins, you are in luck! The next game on the road trip is the Dallas Stars where Michael Ryder has made his new home.

After the jump, a few Bruins being named "man of the year" where they are from, trivia and people actually do win money on the Bruins scratch tickets.

Bruins News:

Seriously, just watch Adam McQuaid's fight again. [Boston Herald]
And then learn all the words to Jack Edwards' "12 Days of Christmas." [Youtube]
Brad Marchand winning the Cup found him a spot in Nova Scotia's top sports moments for the year. [The Chronicle Herald]
Just as well, McQuaid earned himself the title of CBC's Prince Edward Island Newsmaker of the year. [CBC]
Continuing on that pattern, prospect Dougie Hamilton is St. Catharine's male athlete of the year. [St. Catharine's Standard]
A woman in Beverly (You know how bad I want to spell that like Peverely but with a "B?") won $250,000 on a Bruins Stanley Cup scratch ticket! [Wicked Local]
The Celtics are having a ~~fantastic~~ terrible start to their season, could they be taking a backseat to the Bruins? [The Hub]

Hockey News:

Four time Olympian Angela Ruggiero is retiring from ice hockey. She is amazing. [New York Times]
Apparently this past year has been the 12 greatest months in hockey for New Foundland with Ryder's crazy year as one of the top mentions. [The Packet]
You know what else happened in the last 12 months too? Those riots when the Bruins won and a 17-year old is one of the latest rioters to be charged. Too young to have his identity revealed but old enough to destroy things. [The Province]
Fun hockey trivia from Sault Ste. Marie!! [Sault Ste. Marie This Week]
Everyone is still so excited at getting an inside look at the NHL from "24/7." [Star Phoenix]
Another cool TV special is about to come out and this time on the 1972 series between the Canadian All-Stars and the USSR National Team. Phil and Tony Esposito will add commentary as well as Vladislav Tretiak. [TV by the Numbers]

where does it literally say it? because when teams play a close team (new jersey) and have a 3 day gap they could come home for 2 days

I just love it. Screw the Jack haters!

Kick his ass, Seabass!

I don't know how a Bruins fan could hate on Jack

He’s so passionate about the Bs. Sure he’s an unabashed homer, but that’s what makes it so great. Watching the playoffs on Versus was painful, what with Edzo’s insistence that Vancouver was the better team while the Bruins were blowing them out of the Garden and Doc’s Buck-ian playcalling.

Perhaps he should stay in the twitterverse, where he is humangous beeg.

He actually comes across as a human on twitter

instead of a boring sports robot.

example:

Jennifer Rubin:

@Buck I want to be just like you when I grow up! I really respect you and your family. You’re great at what you do! Any tips for me?

Joe Buck:

@JenniferRubin4 start with a famous dad. Then read and be willing to work cheap. Critique your own material and have fun with it

I wish I had caught

McQuaid’s fight in real time. He really just hammered the shit out of Torres.

by dudebro on Dec 29, 2011 2:38 PM EST reply actions

twas an awesome beating. can’t really call it a fight cause Torres was never in it. what a cunt-head Torres is. Edwards: “…Torres down! NO YOU CAN”T GO DOWN SAYS McQUAID! Headless horseman…" Love it!

as I’ve said before, lets not disparage female genitalia with such comparisons

by TomServo42 on Dec 29, 2011 6:59 PM EST up reply actions

OK. hows about penis sore or cum-bubble? I guess with my upbringing, my original assessment of Torres is spot-on. I will keep it in my head in the future.
