Friday the 13th

It's Friday the 13th.  It's drizzling out and there is a lot of thick fog.  My 60+ mile drive to work only took about 1:45 today, but on a normal Friday it would have been a little bit quicker.  I think people were driving extra cautiously, not on account of the weather, but due to the raised bad luck potential.

The Bruins beat the Canadiens last night by a 2-1 score.  One odd thing about the game, Canadien forward Mike Cammalleri was traded to Calgary during the game.  He was pulled out of the line up after the second period and shipped off to Alberta for Rene Bourque.

Bourque has recently made a name for himself for being suspended for hits to the head.  Cammalleri apparently endeared himself to the Canadiens brass by saying that the team played like losers.  I guess that's enough to get you shipped out of town mid-game.

I've heard of players being sat out of games because a trade was in the works, but I've never heard of a player being pulled during a game because of a trade.  Nice of the Canadiens GM to leave the team short handed against their biggest rival.  Not surprising though as this is the same guy who hired a non-French speaking coach and then showed faith in his new coach by telling the press it was a mistake.  Swell guy.
