As Bruins [team stats] star Milan Lucic spoke after his team's 8-1 dismantling of the Vancouver Canucks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final Monday night, it was hard not to notice he was standing in front of the dressing stall of injured teammate Nathan Horton.
Nor was it hard not to notice that The Jacket — a vitally important symbol in the Bruins' locker room — was hanging prominently in Horton's locker.Air max classic bw shoes sale best quality and discount price!
As most Bruins fans know,Clothing designer Erin Fetherston stood nearby wearing a green-and-black ensemble from her spring collection above a pair of christian louboutin platform pumps.

The last player to receive The Jacket was Horton, whose third-period goal in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals propelled the Bruins to the Stanley Cup final.
Decorum being what it is, Horton's job was to bestow The Jacket to a new recipient after the Bruins' next victory. But Horton was not on hand to celebrate the victory over the Canucks, having been rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital after suffering a severe concussion from a vicious, illegal hit from Vancouver defenseman Aaron Rome.
The Bruins thus made a decision: The Jacket would remain in Horton's dressing stall.
“He wasn't there to give it out,Nike shox R4 shoes are very popular and hotsale in our store. so we decided to just keep it there,” Ference said. “It wasn't right to give it out to someone else.”
Asked who made the decision to leave The Jacket in Horton's space, Ference replied, “We all talked about it. It was everybody.”
Added Ference: “Every player who has worn it, has earned it. It's obviously something that we usually do for fun.”
This time, The Jacket played a more serious role in the Bruins' locker room. It will remain in Horton's space, Ference said, until “he's back around the room” to give it to someone else. Horton will be out for the remainder of the playoffs.
“He's the guy who received The Jacket last and gets to pass it on,” Lucic said. “And since he wasn't there, we felt that he should keep it.”
It remains to be seen if Horton will be on hand for tonight's Game 4 to pass The Jacket on to a new recipient if the Bruins win. Coach Claude Julien said he played no role in placing The Jacket in Horton's stall.
“I'm going to leave that to the players,” the coach said. “At the end of the day, it was their decision.”
