• Loui Eriksson has shown his adaptability, and has come into his own for the Bruins after the Sochi Games. [NewEnglandHockeyJournal]

• HNIC did a focus feature on Fraser, interviewing his friends and family after his OT GWG. He won the Doug Wickenheiser Memorial Humanitarian Award while playing for the Kootenay Ice in the WHL. It was a great story, after all. (Video, 3:51) [YouTube]

• Life ain't easy in a mixed marriage, or on the US/Canadian border, when it is the Bruins vs. the Habs. [TheBostonGlobe]
