shameless self-promotion Stories - Battle of California
One more sign that the newspaper industry is struggling
The New York Times asked me to participate in their Hockey Night in Blogdom series on their website. I answered a few questions about the Bruins playoff series against the Habs from a B's fan's perspective, while Dennis Kane answered the same questions from a Habs fan's point of view.
If you need a break from the Battle...

In terms of lineup changes, it sounds like Douglas Murray is out with the...

Anyhoo, the NHL Arena messageboards are...
Brian Burke Week Part III: Nothing but shout-outs
Time to take a break from my normally scheduled Burke Week -- tomorrow I'll get to the positive GM lessons we can learn from the Burke.
