Only points will suffice

Boston sits 14th of the 15 Eastern Conference teams right now. Carolina, with 10 more points (58), currently holds the eighth and final playoff spot, so tonight is a big game. Any game right now is a big game for Boston, but I'm starting to lose patience. As was the case on Thursday, I will likely watch in relative silence.

I hope every hockey fan in Boston plans on attending the Beanpot. Although tickets are sold out to my knowledge, for a little extra cash, tickets can be had on Craig's List. All four teams have a legitimate shot this year and right now, Northeastern looks primed to make a run for it. BC is coming off a loss, BU a tie against ULowell. More on the Beanpot tonight or early tomorrow.
