Gonna be a fustercluck in Boston tomorrow no matter what time they schedule the game. It is supposed to snow until late afternoon and the streets will be a mess, the parking garages will be full of cars that otherwise might have been on the streets and the "T" & buses are likely to be either shutdown or completely fubar.
I understand that there isn't any wiggle room in the schedule and the league as well as the Bruins are over a barrel because of this storm. Ironically the B's have only played once since last Saturday.

Yeah, he bought George Bush's weather/natural disaster machine and Dick Cheney personally delivered it to him.

just took me about 2.5 hours to get home. I was pretty pissed. Until I heard that all roads into Mass are shut down and there's a not travel advisory. I just feel lucky I wasn't caught in whatever nastiness they got down there.

30 mins, tops. It was gridlock and accidents everywhere. I basically crawled home.

Kidding aside I feel for you. I remember my first year driving in that stuff, couldn't afford good tires. They are showing it on TV right now.

It's pretty nasty...power outages everywhere, thunder-snow dumping 2 inches an hour, and winds nearing hurricane force. If TB isn't in town already, there's no way that game gets played. If they are, they'll be playing in front of a near-empty house.

It's like that in many places in northern States and southern Ontario....Boston is going to get the worst of it overnight...they really had no choice but to postpone.
