Odds are Saturday afternoon’s congregation at TD Garden would select a scoreboard sideshow as the highlight of their experience while watching the Bruins’ 2-1 falter to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

With 10:21 gone in the first period, the towering black bear of “Boston Bruins Hockey Rules” fame delivered a crisp, cut-and-dry dish of good wishes to the New England Patriots. And if only for a minute, the spirit of Super Bowl Sunday Eve enveloped the hockey atmosphere.

The NHL All-Star Game was a blast this season; however, the NFL All-Star Game was not amusing at all. Now, the NBA All-Star Game is coming up.

Brady and Moss both had great 2007 seasons, but were they good enough to crack the top 20?

No one knows that better than NHL hockey fans.

NFL Fans, we feel your pain.

The same frustration, disgust and anger currently sweeping through the NFL's fan base worked it's way through the NHL over six years ago.

It's a special kind of fury.

It's the fury that is produced when people who spend what little disposable cash they have to support a sport they love have that sport yanked away from them because a bunch of millionaires and billionaires can't find a way to work together.

Nothing brought the people of Chicago together more than the Blackhawks finally ending their Stanley Cup drought.

The Taste of Chicago, World Cup or even the prospect of an Olympic Games being held in Chicago do not compare to the bliss that was shared last June. No one could deny that the Blackhawks captured a city's heart and imagination in a way no one could measure.
