While the weather in New England was frightful, this weekend for our sports teams was delightful. While the Bruins’ come-from-behind victory over the Habs, and the Patriots snapping their seemingly never-ending Super Bowl Appearance drought were great, so was the performance of many of the B’s prospects this week. So, how did everybody do?
