Look, we’re probably going to see other NHL players trot out some amazing Halloween costumes in the next couple days. Some definitely deserve bonus points for doing so while benefiting charitable causes, too.

With only two games tonight, this might actually be the evening where we see some big-time efforts. Again, it would take some late-game, Bird-esque magic to even approach Hartnell’s offering, though.

I loved Scotty when he was here, but the first line has been so much better without him.

The Bird jersey is great, but he’d be a spot on Brian Scalabrine. Maybe next year.
