Boston Police report some Bruins fans did to Montrealers what their team has mostly proved unable to do: Beat them.

Around 10:20 p.m., police say they found a semi-conscious man lying in the street at Causeway and Friend streets, bleeding from a cut on his head:

... According to the victim (a self-admitted Canadiens' fan), he was walking down the street celebrating the Canadiens victory over the Bruins when two individuals attacked him. Witnesses stated that one of the suspects was wearing a #41 Jason Allison Bruins' jersey, while the other was wearing a blue running jacket. Witnesses say that both suspects punched and kicked the victim. In short time, officers located the suspect wearing the #41 Jason Allison Bruins' jersey and the suspect wearing the blue running jacket. ...

Arrested: Patrick O'Brien and Jared Callen, both 21 and from Winchester. Both charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (foot). The victim was taken to Mass. General; expected to live.

This was about an hour after police made an arrest inside the Garden, when Matthew Benoit, 24, of Stoneham, allegedly tried to keep officers from arresting another Bruins fan trying to beat up a Canadians fan. Police say Benoit only ceased and desisted when they sprayed him with pepper spray.

Tai Irwin: Some people accuse hockey fans of being big fat drunks who scream too loudly and lose their minds over a crazy game:

This is bogus, not all of them are overweight.

Rename Causeway Street as Auerbach Way?

The 50-something bank robber and the ass from Quebec

Boston Police report a detail officer flagged down by an employee at First Federal Savings Bank of Boston, 19 School St., called in for help as John M. Correia, 55, was allegedly attempting to rob the bank shortly after noon yesterday.

Around 8:30 p.m., police working the Celtics game at the Garden came across a real asshole from Verdun, Quebec:

... Officers first observed the suspect during half time at a crowded concession stand. The suspect was walking through the common walkway making loud noises and repeatedly lifting the back of his jacket exposing his bare buttocks. It should be noted that there were many families accompanied by their children in the hallway during the time that the suspect was exhibiting this behavior. Officers stopped the suspect, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, and ordered him multiple times to pull up the rear of his pants. During the interaction with the officers, the suspect verbally assaulted officers and created a scene causing other patrons to stop and observe. While officers were getting the suspect's information he questioned officers stating "So, did you like looking at my !&%$?"

No word if they answered him as they escorted him to the nearest police station for booking.

Do they have bahs down thayuh?

CDG marvels at first at the two guys who ask her at 10 a.m. if there are bars near the Gahden, but then she stops and realizes there are plenty of places to get smashed before noon around North Station.
