Not gonna lie, it's Sunday night right now and I am only just getting to watch last night's Bruins game. 24 hour delay well worth it. Got to see David Perron's first goal on his first shot yesterday and i regret nothing. Did Joe Corvo really fight? Baller. Also my dad just sent me the Tim Thomas mastercard commercial in an email. Thanks, dad.
So hey! The Bruins play the Pittsburgh Sidney Crosbys Penguins today. Joy. That means this game can't be preempted by anyone, which is nice I guess. Apparently Evgeni Malkin recently said that Crosby is "only at 95% which makes him a doctor now? I don't know. Nonsense. Anyways....
After the jump, realignment stupidity, a sweet highlight video from my neck of the woods that APPARENTLY got overlooked in today's links, Tyler Seguin is awesome, and so is Brian Burke...
