3 p.m. todayWells Fargo CenterTV: CSN Philly, NESNRADIO: 94 WIP Today’s game against the Boston Bruins has been circled on the calendar for the last month, it seems, following the 6-0 drubbing the B’s gave the Flyers on December 17.

This morning on the ice at Wells Fargo Center, Patrick Kane reenacted his Stanley Cup winning goal from June 2010. He talked about it with the Chicago Tribune. “(It wasn’t) as intense as I did a couple of years ago but I went back there and kind of retraced it,” Kane said as the team…

The NHL announced a whole bunch of awesome stuff on Thursday afternoon: TV ratings are up, Internet traffic is up, and they’re swimming in the money as a result of it all.
