Chris Chirichiello wrapped up the Red Sox World Series run by naming the Sox as his Player(s) of the week.

Know the enemy

Of course, all the attention turns to the returns of Seguin (15 points) and Rich Peverley (7 points) here in Boston. But the Stars have some other talented players, including captain Jamie Benn, who is second on the team with 13 points. Alex Chiasson is second among rookies with 10 points, while Erik Cole and Ray Whitney provide Dallas with experience.

Despite the talent, the results aren’t there yet for first-year Dallas coach Lindy Ruff. The former Buffalo bench boss is 6-6-2 in his first season, but the pieces are in place. The Stars haven’t made the postseason since 2008, but the new divisional format should benefit them in the long run.

Peverley’s return sparks quite the video tribute from the fine folks at Stanley Cup of Chowder.

And the Red Sox owners make a classy gesture by thanking the city of St. Louis with a front page ad.

For something completely different

Today is Election Day, and Bostonians are about to elect a new Mayor. That said, I am going to miss Mayor Mumbles. Without him, we wouldn’t have memorable quotes such as “Varitek splitting the uprights” and “KJ and Hondo.”
