David Krejci had the H1N1 virus, won't play tonight and is day-to-day. Peter Chiarelli predictably said the team is taking sufficient precautions to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus. Claude Julien and his club are down with Chiarelli's take. Julien says other teams don't care about the problems facing his team. FYI, Canadiens in Boston tonight.

Milestone Reached: Red Sox manager Terry Francona, who got his 500th Sox victory with last night's 5-1 in Detroit. Tito joins Joe Cronin and Pinky Higgins in the exclusive club of Sox managers who haven't been prematurely (or correctly) run out of town. "That means I've been really lucky with an organization with a lot of players that have been very good," said the skipper.

35 seconds. That's all that separates a decent team from (a) hanging around against the Bruins, and (b) being another notch in the team's collective hockey stick. For two periods, the Flyers hung around with the Bruins. Which was nice for them.

For all the Bruins' success this year, they hadn't figured out a way to beat Washington. The Capitals were 2-0 against our hometown heroes, and nipping (well...10 points behind) at their heels for top spot in the East.

That two-game losing streak last week? Forget it. The Bruins have found their offensive punch again, and won their second straight on a 5-1 whupping of the Whalercanes yesterday at the Garden. Tim Thomas stopped 29 shots, and the B's chased Carolina goalie early in the second, after Krejci, Yelle and Stuart had gotten past him. Michael Ryder also scored twice before the Canes popped in a meaningless goal early in the third.

Our nightmare is over. One of our floundering local wintertime teams finally broke into the win column last night, as the Bruins refound their offensive mojo and whacked the Ottawa Senators, 6-4 at the Garden last night.

In a way, it's hard to believe that only one Bruins scored a hat trick last night. But in a game of shaky defense, multiple goalie changes, and an insane amount of offense, it was David Krejci who sent headgear flying, notching his first career hat trick as the Bruins outlasted Toronto 8-5.

It wasn't one for the history books. But the Bruins, while integrating some new faces and welcoming back some old ones, got the better of Colorado and opened the 08-09 season with a 5-4 win.

We'd heard the Miami Heat were terrible. At 13-60, with Shaq traded, Wade shelved, Pat Riley having wandered off in indignity, we didn't expect a real tough game for the Celtics last night. But terrible doesn't even begin to describe this team. Miami set an NBA record for fewest field goals (17) in a shot-clock-era game, set an unofficial record for passes right to defenders, and would have only been able to climb back in the game if the scoreboard had fallen on the Celtics' bench.
