Notes from the Coast:

It looks like the Boston Bruins could be peaking at the right time. After winning 6 games in a row and 7 out of their last 10, the B's are in 6th position for the NHL play-off run with less than 15 games left in the season. Plus, there is still a slight chance that Patrice Bergeron and goalie Manny Fernandez may be back for the play-offs.

• Glad to see the Patriots finally came to their senses and resigned Randy Moss. After already losing weapons like Branch, Givens, and Stallworth, who knows how Tom Brady would have reacted had the Pats let Moss walk. Now if they can only fill-in all the holes at Defensive back, Linebacker, and Tight End, we might make it back to the big game.
• Ironic that after the Celtics signed another big man in PJ Brown, Kendrick Perkins went from scoring 8 points and getting only 1 rebound against Cleveland to 19 pts. and 9 rebs. against Charlotte and then a dounble-double against Atlanta.
• It seems every time the Bruins are on National TV they get blown out. After winning 6 games in a row, they finally appeared on the Versus Network again the other night only to lose to the Washington Capitals by a 10-2 score!
• Not sure why the Pats first free agency signing of 2008 was Wide-receiver/Special teamer Sam Aiken. Didn't the Pats resign Kelley Washington for the same role? Besides the money that went to Aiken was basically the same amount they got from cutting blocking Tight End Kyle Brady.
• A new documentary called 'Len Bias' is expected to be out sometime this year. Bias was the Maryland star who suffered a fatal drug overdose less than 48 hours after being the second overall player selected in the 1986 draft by the Celtics. He was once described as a taller, stronger Michael Jordan and Larry Bird claims the Celtics would have been unbeatable had they played together.

Finally, Sam's Our Man

The Celtics and Danny Ainge came through and signed two players before the March 1st play-off roster deadline. PJ Brown was signed as a free agent and at 6'11" provides some needed rebound and defensive support down low. While Sam Cassel was finally bought out by the Clippers so he could sign with the Celtics before the deadline.

Brown hasn't played all year and is expected to sit until he gets his wind back and even though Cassell has a wrist injury suffered on Feb. 20, he did pass his physical and is expected to play before the end of the week. Now with Cassell running the second unit, Eddie House will be free to set up his shot more. Also, Rajon Rondo and even older players like Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen should benefit from Cassell's experience controlling the game's tempo.
