Good morning!
DON'T FORGET ABOUT GIFT SUBS FOR A LAST-MINUTE STOCKING STUFFER!
A few random thoughts while I wonder why Braden Holtby's magic ran out against the Bruins...
- Well, if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly, right? So the Bruins, who couldn't beat the Capitals or Holtby to saves their lives forever, finally got over on the Caps last night in a big way, 7-3.
- There was a lot of hitting and a lot of fights, so could that be a sign of things to come?
- Patriots play great defense like 95 percent of the time, but then they make some really curious playcalls in the biggest spots against the best opponents and they're repeatedly getting burned.
- Newbie Steve Viner has his new edition of Patriots/NFL links and such. Tell him what you think.
- Ines Kanter will be able to play in Toronto tomorrow.
Time to hit the links...
