OTM Open Thread 1/2: It is Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone. After a day off from Boston sports on the holiday yesterday, the Bruins are back in action as the lone local pro team. They will be at home taking on the Blue Jackets starting at 7:00 PM ET. There is a local college team in action as well with Boston College playing in the Birmingham Bowl against Cincinnati at 3:00 PM ET. Tennessee and Indiana play at 7:00 PM ET in the Gator Bowl. There’s also a pair of nationally televised NHL games, with the Devils and Islanders playing at 7:00 PM ET and the Blues and Avs playing at 9:30 PM ET. Those are on NBC Sports Network. Today also marks the start of the PGA schedule with the Sentry Tournament of Champions teeing off today. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.
