Happy Black Friday!
While not as established as a tradition as football on Thanksgiving, the NHL has a pretty solid tradition of Black Friday games, a tradition that's been invigorated by NBC beginning their national broadcast coverage with games the day after Thanksgiving. Today, the spotlight game is one that's probably of interest to most hockey fans here - the Bruins vs. the Rangers.
It's the first meeting of the year between the two Original Six rivals and the first regular season meeting between the two since the Bruins acquired BC alum Jimmy Hayes. If you didn't know that he and Kevin Hayes were brothers from Dorchester, I'd suggest watching today's NBC broadcast.
