This, That and the Other Thing

Periodically, I get an email asking a question and it is deserving of sharing with everyone. I admit, sometimes I am lazy and just answer the question and don’t give a second thought to sharing it with everyone. Other times, health gets in the way.

Are the Bruins in the Market for a Blueliner?

Boston Bruins defenceman Derek Forbort went down with an injury in late October and missed 10 days.
