Oh the marvels of modern technology. I am currently somewhere in rural Illinois on a Greyhound bus writing this post. The wifi sucks and the view is crappy, but still, how cool is that? Wifi on a bus. Unreal.
This lengthy week (it seems) without Bruins games will come to an end tomorrow as the Bruins play their final game before Christmas at home against the Panthers. The Flyers took back over the #1 spot in the East yesterday with a win; meanwhile, the second episode of 24/7 debuted featuring more crazy Bryz, the Rangers being awesome and our boys from Boston laying a really great drubbing on the Flyers for all the world to see. Go watch it if you haven't yet.
After the jump, a few feel-good Bruins stories, Peter Laviolette gets testy with Steve Ott, and a really great Habs parody...
Bruins News:

- All the Bruins can really do right now is nitpick and tweak their own near-flawless game, and it's what's keeping them successful. [ESPN]

- Brad Marchand and Adam McQuaid used to cross paths in youth holiday tournaments up in Maritime Canada. [NESN]
