They hand out pickles on Heartbreak Hill. But why?
When Boston Marathon runners need refreshment, they often turn to Team Hoyt’s Heartbreak Hill pickle station for a boost of electrolytes.

At This Hockey Game, the Biggest Save Might Have Kept a Boy Alive
A man deflected a puck heading straight for a boy’s head at a game in Ohio. With the help of TikTok, his mother was reunited with her son’s protector.
Of course he is. He's awesomeAnd then he's off to London next weekend.
Was Z running with anyone? Or was whoever next to him random? I didn't read up on the whole story so just curious.
Survived 6 hours at Orlando Airport where there are 2 places open overnight - McDonald's and 7/11
As I said to a fan who misses the big man the other day, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE ZDENO IN THE FRONT OFFICE OF THE BOSTON BRUINS.
I'm not kidding. I really, really hope this happens.
Pick your poison.
Which did you choose, and are you still sentient?
He's running for Team Hoyt
"Team Hoyt, the foundation formed in 1989 during a career in which Dick Hoyt pushed his wheelchair-bound son Rick to more than 1,000 finishes across the world. Dick died in 2021; Rick died last May. The second annual Team Hoyt Memorial race is planned for May 25 in Hopkinton."
At Boston Marathon, former Bruin Zdeno Chara aims to join exclusive running club
Chara’s Boston Marathon a year ago was not a one-off celebrity effort. He ran five more 26.2-milers, a 50-kilometer race and a triathlon in 2023.

CBS said it will re-air its broadcast of Billy Joel's 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden after it was cut short for some viewers on Sunday.
Joel was in the middle of singing "Piano Man" when local news began in some parts of the country.
"Due to the overwhelming demand from his legion of fans," Joel's performance, filmed on March 28, will air again in its entirety on April 19 at 9 p.m. ET, CBS said on Monday. Fans can also watch Joel's performance on Paramount+.
"A network programming timing error ended last night's Billy Joel special approximately two minutes early in the Eastern and Central Time Zones," Julie Holland, CBS's Vice President of Communications, said in a statement. "We apologize to Mr. Joel, his fans, our affiliated stations, and our audience whose viewing experience was interrupted during the last song."

One of the trees along our favourite trail came down during a wind storm, it looks very unhappy to be lying in the water!
On this last day of the Bruins' regular season, how about some questions for fun?
1) What is your most treasured Bruins possession and is there a story behind it?
2) Do you have a specialty that you cook or bake?
3) Do you believe that time travel is possible?
4) If you could compete on Survivor, would you do it?
5) Have you ever been told you resemble a famous person, if so, who?

I'm not runner by any stretch, but at my height of fitness I barely touched the 8 minute mile for my 4-5 mile runs and it felt pretty freaking fast. To do that for 26 miles at his size is incredible. My knees and ankles hurt just thinking about it.
Guy really is a physical specimen, and works hard at it.
1. A signed PJ Axelsson puck. An HFer had it in her collection. She knew how much I love PJ & she was kind enough to give it to me.
2. Toll house cookies and crock pot kielbasa.
3. Sure, why not.
4. Nope. Not ruthless enough.
5. No.
I have three.
1. My Bobby Orr jersey. ALWAYS wanted one and I wear it often.
2. My 2011 SCF Patrice Bergeron jersey. Absolutely love it.
3. A Bruins puck my old man bought for me at my first game at the Old Garden when I was 13.
I can grill a steak better than most people.
No.
No way. “Reality TV” brings out the worst in people. I’m all set.
Back when he played with the Red Sox, I was told a few times I look like Josh Beckett. I never thought so, but it happened a few times. One of those times two women walked up to me at a gas station thinking I was him until they got pretty close. I thought it was pretty funny.

1. I guess not, though I had a custom made Carl Soderberg jersey made with the name replaced by 'The Yeti'. I think it arrived literally a day before he got traded. I still wear it to games though.
2. I cook a lot. Specialty / fan favorites are probably either my scallops or my chicken parm. I made a great mushroom side too.
3. Not in the traditional sense, like I don't think we can go backwards in any way, nor 'jump forward'. I do believe (is that even the right word?) in time dilation, where a person can appear to travel forward in time to a stationary object, but they themselves haven't truly traveled forward in time (think Interstellar water planet if you're not sure what I mean).
4. Nah, I'm not a people person and I don't like having a lot of attention on me. I imagine cameras in my face and manufactured rivalries would drive me nuts.
5. I've gotten both Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg at different stages (haircuts). I think it's just because I'm short and have a vague local accent honestly, it's always out of state or from out of state people. An old lady at a restaurant once stopped me to tell me I looked like a young Ozzie Osbourne (had long hair). I made some person changes after that one.
game puck caught at game 5 in 2011 conference finals against Tampa.
just a simple pizza with goat cheese bacon and bbq sauce instead of regular pizza sauce
not a chance
no way
someone said ethan hawke once and when 24 was on Tv someone said i looked like this character milo
