4 Places to Watch the Bruins

Swampscott VFW Post 1240 Commander John Sacherski tried to put up some Stanley Cup decorations on Saturday but the Post's faithful objected.

They want nothing to jinx their Bruins, he said.

So the Post will have plenty of fans but no Cup decorations tonight at 8 when the Bruins take on the Canucks in the first game of the Stanley Cup.

All screens will be tuned to the game, the commander said.

Here are four Swampscott places to catch the Bs.
