The Boston Bruins host the New York Islanders tonight and after a HUGE shutout win against the Toronto Maple Leafs, hopefully they can make it three-in-a-row with wins. The Islanders are only spot ahead of the Bruins in the standings but also have only 10 points as well. So tonight may be a more interesting night than one thought.
After the jump, teenagers are taking over the NHL, the Jacobs estate and some Don Cherry discussion.
