Not hockey but sports: Red Sox sellout streak ends at 820
It's not Devils (or hockey), but as you know, we're all about attendance here. So I had to share this (albeit a few days late).
The Boston Red Sox’s sellout streak of 820 games came to a halt after the team failed to sell out Game no. 2 at Fenway Wednesday night.
The crowd: 30,862 — nearly 7,000 short of a sellout. The next day, the crowd was even smaller — 27,704.
The streak has been the subject of numerous jokes over the last few years — especially last year — when it was obvious games weren't sold out, but the team was getting around loopholes by saying they were.
Still, the streak lasted from 2003 to 2013 — good for (officially) the longest such streak in sports.

St. Louis Blues to honor Stan Musial during warmups
Many thanks to Vin Witel for the tip on this one.
The St. Louis Blues will honor baseball legend Stan Musial by wearing his name and number 6 on their jerseys tonight during warmups. A classy move by the Blues organization.
Here's a look. Thanks, Vin and Major League Baseball.
