1. Brad Park signed a picture of him and I, taken when I was 16 years old.

2. My fried chicken is the best on the planet. And I'm willing to back that up.

3. Possible? Maybe, but highly unlikely.

4. No. I think those shows are dumb.

5. David Ross. The former manager of the Chicago Cubs. My teammates give me shit about it all the time.

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?
1. The 2011 SC Champions framed pic with a piece of game 7 game net - my brother won it for worst golf shot at a tournament. It was destined to be mine since he is an excellent golfer. His embarrassment was my good fortune.

2. Not really but my family get their faves on occasions - I prefer baking though.

3. No, never

4. No, never

5. When I was very young, Jaclyn Smith (more to do with the hair) and later in life Sally Field....lol

1. I don't really own any Bruins stuff. I used to have an old ratty oversized early 2000s jersey but finally dumped it in a move. I bought a Bruins dog bandana last time I was in NH. I'll have to put it on my dog for the playoff run.

2. I love to cook and there are a lot of recipes I've been trying to to master. Can't say any one particular recipe stands out as a specialty, though my fettuccine al burro is a quick, easy, and delicious meal.

3. It's self-contradictory and philosophically impossible

4. No, I don't have much interest in going on survivor.

5. I've gotten some weird ones, ranging from Stephen Moyer from True Blood to "a young John Malkovich." I don't think any of them were all that accurate.

3. Don't know - don't think about it
4. F**k no
5. No, but Dame Judi Dench and I have the same hair color and style

Good list Caz. Here goes:

1) A puck signed by Glen Murray and Travis Green. After the 2004 lockout, I took my kids to the garden on the day tickets went on sale and we got to skate and meet some of the players. Murray and Green signed a puck for us. That Christmas, my oldest (age 8) gave the puck to me with a note that said that I never got souveniers for myself so she thought I should have it. Pretty cool.

2) No, I like to cook but don't necessarily have a go-to dish. Maybe seafood paella.

3) No

4) Not a chance. Wouldn't want to be away from my family for that long.

5) Les Nessman (a very dated reference).

It takes a special kind of stupid for this to happen

Or drunkenness

Otherwise how do you miss the giant bridge above you?

1) What is your most treasured Bruins possession and is there a story behind it?
A very old and thin CCM pullover jacket. My mother had a shop stitch Neely and an 8 on the back of it. My father had it for years but now I have it somehow. There's a tiny hole in the belly of it where pops dropped some ash from a joint. That story changed many times over the years and I'm not sure why he would never just admit he was getting high at a hockey game.

2) Do you have a specialty that you cook or bake?
Not really much of a chef. Lately the kids have been enjoying my chicken thighs I guess

3) Do you believe that time travel is possible?
I don't think so, but I am a simpleton. I do enjoy a good time travel/time loop film though!

4) If you could compete on Survivor, would you do it?
Hell no. I get grumpy once the temps hit 60

5) Have you ever been told you resemble a famous person, if so, who?
Dave Grohl. Too many times. It used to be Ben Folds, then I grew out my hair and now it's Dave Grohl.

I just watched a podcast that Kato Kaelin did in response to OJ dying. The most interesting thing was how he later realized that when OJ knocked on his door to chat and telling him he was going to get something to eat, he was setting up an alibi, and Kato insisting on tagging along and going to McDonald's messed up OJ's whole timeline - giving him less time to clean the scene before his limo was scheduled to pick him up for his flight to Chicago, and Ron Goldman wouldn't have been there at the time of the murder either. He said he's felt some guilt over that but Goldman's sister consoled him on that.

That timeline theory would explain why the crime scene was so sloppy. If it was a cleaner murder and less evidence was left, I wonder if it would've been as much of a media circus as it was.

Horrid.

I ended up getting a couple "swimming costumes" as my kids used to call them, from Duluth Trading. No mesh. Almost feel like a pair of athletic shorts just slightly thinner. While I'm on it, Duluth sells nice quality under garments for men as well. A little pricey, but well worth it.

1. Not sure. I have a helmet that was Shane Hnidy's., a stick signed by Pasta the day he signed his new deal with the Bs, a stick signed by Big Z the game I got into a fight.

2. I love to bake. I make a couple of things at Christmas. Also make stuffed shells and lasagna that most folks like.

3. Not sure

4. No way

5. Not really. a few people told my kid that she looked like Jennifer Aniston but I don't see it.

1) What is your most treasured Bruins possession and is there a story behind it?

I collect game worn jerseys, and I have a home and away pair of a player with whom I share a last name...he only played a few dozen games in the NHL so he is not a household name, but I love having a game worn with my last name on the back.

2) Do you have a specialty that you cook or bake?

I think my specialty is looking around the fridge and pantry, and coming up with a dish which is tasty from items which are not often used together.

3) Do you believe that time travel is possible?

Not yet...

4) If you could compete on Survivor, would you do it?

Definitely...but with the full knowledge that I would probably one of the first to go home. I am not in outstanding physical shape, and I am probably not slick enough to do well in the social part of the game.

5) Have you ever been told you resemble a famous person, if so, who?

Chris Simon (RIP) back when I used to have facial hair, but it's probably mostly because I have long, dark hair.

My wife on the other hand has been mistaken for Kim Raver from Grey's Anatomy a number of times. (Yes, I am a very lucky man...)

No way

Nope
