Good morning!
Your daily rundown of what's going on with the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Revolution, and what's about to happen, for BSJ members only ...
• I picked the Bruins in seven in this series but now I think it might be shorter, even if the Hurricanes even the series tonight with a better effort after their layoff, which I expect.
• Carolina is just not nearly as polished as the Bruins and you need to be tight to beat this group. Jaccob Slavin was terrible yesterday, and I can't believe Jake Gardiner is in the league.
• And then there's Petr Mrazek, who is just all over the ice. Go from one side to the other, like the Bruins did on the game-winning goal, and he has no chance. I mean, I could have scored that goal that's how out of position Mrazek was.
• Yeah, it's not a great sign the Bruins needed 2OTs and a gift goal from the refs, but the Bruins still aren't close to playing their best hockey.
• Tuukka Rask should be able to go today. That's plenty of rest with no travel and hardly any work yesterday.
• The Bruins have a real second line now?
• Celtics get their final tune-up today at Noon.
• The Patriots had some sort of organized practice yesterday.
• Good story on Kyle Hart. Rooting for that guy today. Love grinders.

So the call is that the hand-pass is nullified because #LetsGoCanes Mrazek had possession of the puck. But if that's the case then why wasn't the whistle blown? pic.twitter.com/1ynJBpErCg
