Sabres Crush Both Rask and Thomas in Buffalo

By ⋅ February 9, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

By ⋅ January 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

What we learned the week of January 20-27: 1. Tim Thomas hates the federal government.

Good things come to those who wait. The Boston Bruins waited five games to get back Brad Marchand. They waited two games to get back Rich Peverley.

Week of January 11 to January 18 1. The Celtics’ Big Three are growing old together. Hmm, this somehow sounds familiar. Wasn’t Danny Ainge around for this the first time?
