Leave it to the Herald to offer us clarification on the real reason tonight's Bruins-Penguins game is so interesting: None of Marc Savard's teammates dealt with Matt Cooke properly at the time of his dastardly deed. Check out the Herald's front page with a clever "Wanted" poster calling every Bruin out to teach Cooke "a lesson" tonight. Ron Borges made the case that the Black&Gold should respond with "old time hockey" instead of a goonapalooza. We still expect fights - yes, plural - tonight and appreciate a tale of the tape. Thanks, Herald. 7 p.m.

How would you handle it? Straight up revenge, going after Matt Cooke? Eye-for-an-eye, going after Sidney Crosby? Or just try to win the game? That's the dilemma the Bruins face tonight, with Cooke and the Penguins in town for the first time since he knocked Marc Savard out for the year with the famous cheapshot to the back of Savvy's head.
The Celtics AND the Bruins? Both winning in solid fashion against inferior opponents on consecutive nights? Has the world turned upside-down?
The Celtics didn't make any rumored changes to the starting five and routed the Indiana Pacers 122-103. But, the bench and its 26 first-half points provided a spark to help the Celtics quickly open a first-half lead. At the end of the first quarter, Marquis Daniels scored a bucket, Nate Robinson buried a three-pointer and Glen Davis blocked a shot to put Boston up six, 29-23.
