Long Weekends Make The Planet Smile<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With Memorial Day marking the unofficial start to the summer season,\u00a0the holiday\u00a0is traditionally associated with barbeques, parades, family gatherings, and sporting events.\u00a0 Thus, as BTSH approaches this highly anticipated weekend, the media\u00a0conducted a league-wide survey\u00a0to gauge\u00a0people’s plans for their\u00a0day off from hockey.\u00a0 Some of the notable responses are after the jump.<\/p>\n

    \nIt is with utmost respect and pride that the Rehabs are pleased to announce their infamous All-Star defender, Gina Hackett, is now a famous All-Star Emmy Award winner! For her production of the documentary,\u00a0History of the Boston Bruins<\/em>, Gina was recognized this past weekend and honored for her hard work. When reached for comment, Hackett said, “The only thing that would make me happier than winning this award would be for me to stick it inside one (or more) of the Denim Demons.”<\/p>\n

    If you were to travel to England today, your not-so-Almighty Dollar would only get you about 7\/10 of a British Pound. This is a depressing thought and has convinced me that until I get a higher paying job, I will resign myself to watching Merchant Ivory<\/a> films or anything starring Colin Firth to get my UK fix. However, this weak economy has not kept LBS, Inc. from procuring a new wardrobe. Breaking with tradition, the team’s game jerseys<\/a> no longer sport the traditional preppy collar. To commemorate theirs and BTSH’s inception, the new t-shirts have only the insignia over their hearts, flanked\u00a0by the numbers 1 and 0 (for ten, not for on and off in Binary, you nerd). The most notable addition to their 2010 Spring line is a navy-blue cardigan with the pound sterling symbol embroidered in white. Two things come to mind when I see these sweaters: 1) “I just got it last night at the Limited<\/a>.” and 2) yacht wear<\/a>. I get the feeling it’s more of the former when it comes to LBS, Inc., but you never know… maybe Ken and Karsten will take on the roles of Gopher and Isaac and we’ll all be making another run<\/a>.<\/p>\n
