If nothing else, the Jimmy Vesey saga injected a little more life into the Bruins-Rangers rivalry.
Bruins forward Matt Beleskey couldn't help tweaking Vesey Friday night with a tweet after the ex-Harvard captain from North Reading, Mass., chose Broadway over Beantown.
Get your tickets now. The Rangers host the Bruins Oct. 26 and Vesey and the Blueshirts come to Boston Nov. 5.
Beleskey's tweet drew plenty of Boston vs. New York responses, including this one that featured Rangers' defenseman Dylan McIlrath getting the best of Beleskey last season at Madison Square Garden.

Beleskey took the ribbing, and the support from Bruins fans, all in good fun.
