Monday Morning Skate: Please don't leave us, Patrice!

If you haven't heard the news, the Pope is apparently retiring at the end of the month. Odd, yes. But this worries me on another level: What if St. Patrice is called on by the Papal Conclave before the Bruins are done this year? Woof, what a terrifying thought.

Plus, he'd have to start supporting BC. Gross.

Speaking of which the Beanpot final is tonight and we're all pulling for Northeastern vs.the aforementioned evil empire. Or some good college hockey, whatever. This one isn't getting snowed out, I'm pretty sure.
