Boston Reminds Us They're Going To Be Just Fine

Time isn't on my side these days, so I'll keep this brief.  I haven't had the time to opine on the Boston Marathon, so I'll sum it up quickly.

Sickening.

There.

Tonight, the Hub held its first sporting event post-Marathon as the Bruins hosted the Sabres.  Rene Rancourt, the longtime tuxedoed singing voice of TD Garden, stepped to the ice to sing the National Anthem.  Then a magnificent thing happened.

Watch for yourself (thanks for finding it, Harold).  Good luck choking back those tears.


Unfortunately, the storybook doesn't always play the right way.  The Sabres beat the Bruins 3-2.

But Boston began the road back.  They'll be OK.  They're pretty strong.
