Great night for Boston Sports...Sox,Celts, B's win!

Tonight was a great night to be a Boston sports fan as the Sox won along with Bruins and Celtics playoff victories.

First, the Bruins won game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semi-Final Series with the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on a Milan Lucic goal with 2:57 remaining. This gives the B's a 2-0 lead as the series heads back to Philly for game 3 on Wednesday night. Tuukka Rask made 24 saves for the win in goal while Miroslav Satan and Johnny Boychuck both scored goals for the Bruins. The Bruins continue to surge through the playoffs and have won their last seven at home. There was also a scuffle in the game in which Flyers' defenseman Daniel Carcillo claims Bruins forward Marc Savard bit him. Savard denied the claim which occurred after Savard slashed Flyers goalie Brian Boucher's glove. Personally, Carcillo needs to stop being a fucking pussy and making claims to Canadian TV. First, make claims to American TV. You're in fucking America, prick. Second, if you don't want to get bit don't put your hand in his fucking mouth. It isn't like Savard is out there skating after people and trying to chomp on dudes' hands like he is a lion or something. With that said, nice win B's.



The Celtics took game 2 in Cleveland tonight to tie up their Eastern Conference Semifinal series 1-1. The Celts were lead by 19 assists by Rajon Rondo and 22 points from Ray "Ray Ray!" Allen. The Celtics again seemed to become complacent with a big lead of 25 points in the 4th quarter and let the Cavs bring it down to 10 with 3:23 left, However, unlike Game 1, the Celtics responded and closed the game with an 11-3 run to close out the Cavs. This ties up a series coming back to the Garden for game 3 where the C's look to grab the series by the balls and send Lebron with plenty to think about before free agency this summer. The Garden should be rocking Friday night.


In lesser news, the Sox finally scored some fucking runs in a 17-8 route of the Angels tonight at Fenway. The offensive outburst hopefully is a sign of things to come for the Sox and they get back to what the fans of Boston expect and demand from their team. Look for the Sox to get their shit together and make a run for the division and wild card despite the slow start.

Also Jack Bauer and House were awesome tonight so you cant ask for much more.

Trivino, Vinny, Victor, and Possibly Kraus Disciplined For Drinking Incident

According to the FreeP, drinking less than 48 hours before BU's season ending loss to UMaine at the Garden is gonna be the reason why all four will be suspended, and Victor released from the team. Adam Kraus, not previously mentioned, may also face a suspension. As had earlier been mentioned, skipping practice may be the factor that caused Victor to get the relatively heavier punishment. Here's to hoping the captains next year can get this bullshit under control. No wonder so much potential got wasted this year. More details may come tomorrow as the athletics dept. is expected to release a statement.

B's Sturm out for season with torn ACL,MCL

Bruins' forward Marco Sturm tore both his ACL and MCL in the first shift of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Philadelphia Flyers.He will require surgery within 4-6 weeks. His expected recovery time is around six months. Sturm also suffered an injury to his left knee last year and missed the majority of the 2008-2009 season.

This is a tough loss for the B's who lose Sturm the game they got Marc Savard back. Daniel Paille looks to move up to Sturm's spot on the Beregeron, Recchi line while Shawn Thornton would be active for Game 2 after being a healthy scratch for Game 1.



Also, the Patriots have signed Brown University product Buddy Farnham to a contract after his tryout this weekend at the rookie mini-camp. The Patriots are well stocked at receiver, so a player like Farnham faces some long odds to earn a roster spot. His best shot to stick with the club probably will come on the practice squad.

At the same time, Farnham's story figures to resonate locally, as he is from Andover, Mass., and can now say that he had a chance to suit up for his hometown team.



And the Sox just got swept by Baltimore. Lookin' good this year!

Victor Saponari kicked off team for skipping practice? UPDATE

According to an update on WTBU sports link, Victor Saponari has been kicked off the team because he skipped practice. It has been reported that rising juniors Vinny Saponari and Corey Trivino have been suspended but no details have been released. The younger Saponari and Trivino were spotted carrying trash around Agannis Arena yesterday so whatever they did, Coach Parker is not pleased and putting them to work to earn their way back on the team. Parker apparently has deemed the elder Saponari a lost cause due to the severity of his infraction.

B's win in OT...Celts take on Lebron tonight

The Bruins won a 5-4 OT thriller this afternoon on a slapper by Marc Savard. In his first game back since suffering a grade 2 concussion seven weeks ago, Savard sent a shot over Flyers' goalie Brian Boucher's shoulder for the game winner 13:52 into the first overtime period on a delayed penalty.



Tuukka Rask stopped 32 shots for Boston, and Miroslav Satan and Patrice Beregeron each had a goal and an assist.

Boucher stopped 41 shots, and Mike Richards had a goal and two assists for the Flyers.

Dennis Wideman had three assists for Boston, which took a 2-0 lead in the first 13 minutes and still led 4-2 with under 8 minutes left. Richards cut the deficit to one goal with 7:23 to play, then Danny Briere outmuscled two defenders to go in alone on Rask and tie it with 3:22 left.

Boston had several good chances early in the overtime, and Philadelphia had one with 15:33 left when Rask stopped Daniel Crece on a breakaway.

The Celtics start their Eastern Conference Semi-final with Cleveland tonight at 8pn on TNT. They look to upset the #1 seed Cavs lead by the #1 crybaby/choke artist Lebron James.

Also, Dice- K returns to the hill tonight for the Sox after spending a month on the DL. To make room for Dice-K, the Sox designated Alan Embree for assignment and he will no longer be with the club.

The Patriots continue day 2 of their rookie min-camp this weekend as 26 rookies go through drills at Gillette. See ESPN Boston's coverage of the three day camp here.
