What the Globe did:
Unyielding Bruins roar back
The Bruins demolished the curiously inept Vancouver Canucks at TD Garden again last night, 5-2, to force a seventh game in this home-sweet-home Stanley Cup Final.
Game takes fans on ride of ecstasy
Pouring into the streets around the TD Garden in giddy celebration, triumphant Bruins fans reveled in the team’s dominant Game 6 victory last night that sent the hard-fought series to a climactic Game 7 tomorrow in Vancouver to decide the Stanley Cup.
It occurred to me that the Globe is a heavy advertiser on NESN, and thus the self-serving, front-page sports stuff.
“Politics is more important for the outcome than sports will ever be,’’ said Wink Van Knowe, a 67-year-old retiree from Campton who attended a pre-debate luncheon discussing conservative issues. “Political decisions determine the country. Sports doesn’t change my life.’’
I concur, and did watch a bit of the staged theater; however, the shallowness of the distraction quickly had me clicking away to a movie.
"GOP debaters target Obama, not Romney; Few jabs over Mass. health care; N.H. forum focused on economy" by Matt Viser, Globe Staff / June 14, 2011
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The debaters had stiff competition for viewers, with the puck being dropped at the Boston Garden for the start of the Boston Bruins-Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup tilt just after former US senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania led off the introductions of the candidates.
Just as self-centered and arrogant as yesterday.
Oh, right, I forgot; Boston the Hub of the universe.
“By the way,’’ Romney said at one point, “Bruins are up, 4-0.’’
(Sigh; glad I missed it)

Throughout, Representative Ron Paul was a forceful and emphatic defender of the private sector and self-reliance of the population, and called for removing most of government’s regulatory roles....
All candidates except Paul and businessman Herman Cain said they favor a national constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage....
I think that was just about where I shut the TV off.
