We got home from the game around 5 pm and had power skating for my youngest sons team (I'm head coach). I wanted to skip as it was a long day and I skated last night. My son told me he was tired and hockey'd out. I should have made him go, but I got what he was saying and I went to practice myself. I didn't want to be there, but was glad I went. It was fun watching some kids that wanted to play. The bruins sure didn't (well most of them).

Cheers to you for being a coach of hockey and giving your time and passion to students of the game! I was really disappointed they didn't give you a single moment to stand up and cheer with him and I think days/games like this show a lot of people what the entertainment value is for a Bruins game.
DKH said it best, St.Louis, Nashville and Phily. Three games this year the price of admission was perhaps worth it. Perhaps.
Out here, the Canucks fans see the exact same transition (many radio personalities who call in for segments like Maguire, Dreger, Ferraro, Mackenzie etc. each week compare the Bruins and Canucks as being in the same boat but one team is in denial) taking place and fans have been giving their tickets away and interest in a Canadian city is at an all-time low.
My guess is Linden lasts longer than Neely and tickets drop in Vancouver before Boston. Icing will be if Vancouver gets back into the playoffs with a young group led by Horvat and company before the Bruins do led by Chara and company.
