Interesting, so each team will only play 81 games?

They're taking interviews out of context and attempting to label it as an attack by a terrorist grop, why can't you just report news and quit speculating? Nobody is going to care if you were the first to say a group did it.

When 2 bombs goes off within 10 seconds of each other you can label it coordinated. I don't see what's wrong with saying that.

That part was just painfully obvious, the other part was them making assumptions from that.

Its the shrapnel. Most bombs contain things like nails, screws, and ball-bearings. Essentially when the bomb goes off its like a 360 degree shot-gun blast.

In poor taste, but the picture is a Fiddler on the Roof joke/reference.

Definitely a sad sight to see. My prayers to the victims...

So screwed up that somebody would do this. Scares the hell out of me that I was walking those streets yesterday. Thoughts and prayers out to all the families.

What would be the purpose of being on the roof anyways, he could be anywhere, sitting in a hotel room watching on tv.

He was looking away and walking away from that scene and that sound.
"What would be the purpose of being on the roof anyways" That would be my first question too.

Rooftop is good for signal and coordination.

Coordinate what? "Ok light the fuse now!!!"
Do you know how IED's are detonated?

I'm assuming many schools in Boston will be closed too.

Can any Bostonian conform?

This is definitely scary. I was really young when 9/11 happened and I didn't much of what is going on. I didn't even realize how scared some people were back then. Now that I am older, it is kind of scary, and it seems like 9/11.

Nothing like 9/11.

If it really had playoff implications they probably would have rescheduled. I wonder if it is the first though. Does anyone know?

It's a mind blowing incident though. It's a reminder of what is still out there, what will always be out there, and what is important.

It is nice to see everyone being so supportive to those individuals that are directly involved in this horrific incident. I am not a religious man, but prayers to everyone who had to be a part of this.

It's days like these that make me realize I take everyday life for granted. I seriously hope whoever did this gets the death penalty. If there's one law in Canada that I hate the most it's not having a death sentence.
