NHL Poll still Up- Probably would've been better off putting it up a month ago, but the poll asking visitors about next years Winter Classic is still open, so visitors are free to put in their 2 cents worth.
After winning a grand total of two games since the 2010 Winter Classic, the Bruins woes continued into February, where they were beaten by the Capitals 4-1 on Tuesday night. The win marks 11 consecutive for Washington- a franchise record- while the Bruins have dropped 8 in a row and are 1-7-2 in their last 10 games.
Curious phenomenon took place over the weekend. On Saturday, the Bruins hosted the Los Angeles Kings at the TD Banknorth Garden in a contest where Boston lost 2-3 in the shootout to the Kings. Then, 24 hours later, the Lakers came to the Garden and went ahead 90-89 with 7.3 seconds left in regulation to beat the Celtics.
The Bruins look to stop their 8-game freefall Thursday night while hosting Montreal (who is now 3 points ahead of them in the standings). Despite the skid, the B's are within 3 points of Les Habitants in the Northeastern division, while Ottawa's been riding a franchise-best 10 game win streak to pull within 3 points of the Division leading Sabres this week.
NBA: The Celtics, on the other hand, managed to snap a 3 game losing streak with a 99-88 win over an Agent Zero-less Wizards Monday and added to that with a 102-107 win over Miami Wednesday. Rajon Rondo was 6 for 13 with 22 points and Ray Allen was 7 for 15 with 23 points against Miami. The Celtics will next host the hapless New Jersey Nets on Firday night.
(metromix.com) NFL: OK- show of hands.....how many people tuned in for the Pro Bowl? Even if I wasn't working, it's not as though I would've seen such NFL luminaries as Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger playing. The AFC topped the NFC 41-34 and Houston's Matt Schaub threw for 189 yards, two touchdowns, completed 13 of his 17 pass attempts was was named Pro Bowl MVP. San Diego WR Vincent Jackson caught a 48 yeard TD pass from David Gerrard and had 122 yards total Sunday.
NCAA Mens Hockey: Boston College beat Harvard 6-0 in the Beanpot semifinal Monday night while the Boston University Terriers had a tougher time against Northeastern, clinging to a 2-1 lead despite a 6 on 4 onslaught from the Huskies in the final 1:28 of regulation for the win. This sets up a BC/BU Beanpot final on Monday, Febuary 8.
MLB: Just a reminder that truck day will be Feb. 12th, 2010.
The Red Sox have signed journeyman pitcher Joe Nelson and catcher Gustavo Molina to minor-league contracts that include an invitation to spring training. Nelson was 3-0 with a 4.02 ERA in 40.1 innings of work for Tampa Bay last year.
The Detroit Tigers and starting pitcher Justin Verlander have agreed to terms on a 5-year $80 million contract, the Associated Press reports. Both parties had agreed to bypass arbitration.
