Go Bruins!

Taking Toronto

The Bruins are finishing up the month of November by facing the Toronto Maple Leafs for the third time this season. Although the leafs have had a pretty promising season thus far, our home town boys have proven that they are the best team in the league. In the past two match ups, the Bruins (surprise, surprise) won both games. In mid-October, big and bad topped the leafs to a 6-2 win with points from Nathan Horton, Zdeno Chara, Chris Kelly, Milan Lucic, Patrice Bergeron, and Tyler Seguin. This win gave the urge to get a shutout the next game and that's exactly what they gave Tim Thomas with a landslide 7-0 victory over Toronto. Although these two games showed the offensive power the Bruins have, the leafs aren't going to lead up on the Bruins. Toronto's offensive abilities with Phil Kessel leading the team and Phaneuf on the point will be a tough matchup for the Bruins but if the B's stay focused and play their game they have nothing to worry about. Tune into NESN tomorrow at 7:00pm to watch the Bruin's take on the Maple Leafs.

Final Project Ideas

After looking through what the final project mildly entails, a few ideas came to my mind on what I would like to research. I  am a die hard Boston Bruins fan so I would love to research the Bruins and talk about them because I am actually applying for an internship with them as well. This could be for there current team or Bruins history, or I have always wanted to research where the Stanley Cup goes and what is really done with it. Another idea I had would be to do my final project on snowboarding. As much as I love ice hockey, I am obsessed with snowboarding and any aspect of this hobby makes me want to get to work!

The Blog Phenomenon

After everyone has made the decision to create a blog, I figured the time was now to create one myself. It was an assignment for class however, the openness of blogs seems very interesting. When I read blogs I read them for pure entertainment and interest on a subject, not to find out if something is factual therefore I take information on blogs with a grain of salt. People can write whatever they want so there's no telling how reliable blogs are. Many blogs are fabricated because they are based mostly on opinions of people. Personally, I feel that blogs should be open and are generally a public forum for a reason. If someone did not feel like sharing their thoughts on the internet then simply put, they would not make a blog, therefore it should be widely available. Different government regulations have been made to go over what should and should not be done with blogs and to an extent I agree with this. The biggest concern for regulations is when a blog becomes popular and has many hits per day. People will be offended, however not everyone is going to like what everyone has to say and seeing that we are in America it is a free country and we do have the right to freedom of speech. So in my opinion, type away, if you see something you do not like in a blog then it's simple, don't read it!
