Alright, so here we are, officially in the doldrums. This post-holidays, pre-Spring stretch of weeks (months…) can be, well, blah, particularly here in the Midwest. The cloud cover never seems to move. Grey everywhere you look. Come on Spring!

Hockey players are just built different. We’re watching the Bruins play the Blue Jackets, and a Bruins player just left the ice with a busted (literally!) lip. He returned to play rather quickly, after some stitch work. The broadcast showed a segment from the on-ice reporter a few minutes later, showing a gloved hand holding a chipped tooth that they had located on the ice. Apparently it was more than a busted lip!
