By Scott Rogust
The whole city of Boston stands behind Red Sox legend David Ortiz, who was shot point-blank at a bar in his native Dominican Republic. With the Bruins facing off against the St. Louis Blues in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, everyone is honoring Ortiz. Prior to puck drop, New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman and Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman joined "Fist Bump Kid" Liam Fitzgerald in the crowd for the traditional "banner wave." During the occasion, both Edelman and Raisman donned "Big Papi" jerseys to honor the Boston legend.
