Bruin Up Some Front Page Stories

Followers and readers know how I feel about sports on the front page. 

I thought they had a separate section for that stuff, but....

Game 7 showdown next for Bruins

The Bruins had a chance to skate into the finals last night, but coughed up a 2-1 second-period lead and dropped a 5-4 decision to the Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum.

Next up: The Cup

The Bruins are back in the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1990. In a pulsating Game 7, the spoked-B’s defeated Tampa Bay last night. The Bruins play the Canucks in Game 1 Wednesday night in Vancouver.

Fits with the witches theme. Must have been written in invisible ink because I never saw that in my printed PoS.   

And on the flip side:

"Missing girl’s mother partied, witnesses say" May 26, 2011|Associated Press

ORLANDO — The mother accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter partied, promoted nightclub events, and entered a swimsuit contest around the time the toddler disappeared, according to testimony yesterday.... 

About a month before that, Casey Anthony, 25, met Tony Lazaro during a party. They soon became romantically involved and she moved into an apartment he was sharing with four other people....

The four witnesses said Anthony’s demeanor never suggested anything was wrong. She would cook, clean, and help out around the apartment, they said....
