Bruins
OK, it's sort of the winter version of watching paint dry (true story: I once actually did that, and got paid for it), but, in any case, here's a Fenway rink livecam.

In no particular order, things I've found interesting on my cruise through the interwebs today: Read more
Too depressing to repeat the day's scores, but at least the Celtics have one more chance and the Sox still have the whole rest of the season.
Rob: compares Walker's fine with other NHL penalties:
... So make fun of an opponent's choice of girlfriends, you get suspended for 6 games. Punch an opponent in the face in a game that's all but over, and you get fined $2500. ...
Celtics: 95-94.
Bruins: 4-0.
Red Sox: 4-3.
Rob: Wow, that one hurt:
... I still love the Bruins chances in this series, but not if they play like they did for most of Game 3. ...
Chris: The Bruins were careless with the puck in the third period and to open the overtime.

Advance to semi-finals.
All that, and two Sox wins.
Go teams, go!: Ethan Long took photos today of the newest additions to the State House facade.
Chad Finn tweets:
The Canadiens make for perfect villians. They're cheap-shotting wannabe goons who cower at the first sign of retaliation. I love it.
A classic Bruins/Canadiens fight from 1970. At one point (around the 2-minute mark) Derek Sanderson starts trying to punch out Boston police officers:
According to Boston Police, the answer would be: A drunk suburban Bruins fan upset he was being escorted out of the Garden for unnecessary roughing.
Police say officers were called to help Garden security eject Alex Delvecchio, 21, of Billerica, and Kile Burtman, 21, of Norwood, from last night's game because they wouldn't stop yelling and swearing and because:
[T]he fans, while attempting to obtain free t-shirts that were being thrown into the crowd, jumped on and pushed fans in their section.
Police charge that when the two refused to go quietly, officers decided to arrest them, at which point Delvechhio allegedly "attempted to burn the officers with a cigarette lighter."
So he's charged with disturbing a public assembly, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault by means of a dangerous weapon (lighter). Burtman faces charges of disturbing a public assembly and disorderly conduct.
Innocent, etc.
Don Martelli reports spotting his first pink Bruins hat.
But Michael Berger reminds us that the last time two Boston teams had losing streaks at the same time (way back in October), it didn't last long.
And, of course, what would a CHB column be without some 1960s-era song lyrics? And what would a Shank column that isn't about the Sox be without a Sox reference (quick: Who else thought Vesa Toskala's stint was "shorter than a Tim Wakefield playoff start"?) Dan Shaughnessy Watch provides the painful details.
Ryder vs. some Islander for the puck, by Lorianne DiSabato.
Lorianne DiSabato enjoyed herself at the Garden today, with the Bruins beating the Islanders 7-2.
Lorianne DiSabato took in the Bruins' game last night. Also check out her photo of several mascots on the ice, including Wally the Green Monster. Yes, Wally is a multi-tool mascot.
