In Thursday's Hot Clicks, the Bruins wear bad Star Wars costumes during children's hospital visit. Plus a look at Ashley Vee.

Bruins visit Boston Children's Hospital, dress in really bad Star Wars outfits

The Bruins continued their tradition of visiting Boston Children's Hospital in Halloween outfits (my favorite being the Zdeno Chara bunny from 2012) on Wednesday. Unfortunately, their Star Wars outfits left much to be desired.

EDIT (11:55 a.m.): I did not do a good job with the blurb above. I should've mentioned that the players are doing a great thing by visiting the hospital. It makes a huge difference in the lives of the patients and more athletes should do the same. Just in different costumes.

World Series Round-Up

The Astros squeezed by the Dodgers 7-6 in a memorable Game 2. The series is now tied at 1-1. The game featured a bunch of late-inning home runs, a Dodgers fan crashing the Astros bullpen and free tacos for everyone thanks to a Cameron Maybin stolen base (redeem yours Nov. 1!). But the highlight was Vin Scully throwing out the first pitch with the help of some Dodgers legends.

Tough loss

Phil Ivey lost a $10.1 million court case because he used an "edge-sorting" technique during a high stakes game of Punto Banco. In a related story, I almost won a free lunch off co-worker Ben Eagle when the Celtics beat the Knicks on Tuesday, but he chickened out of the bet at the last minute.

Ashley Vee is (according to her Instagram profile) a "mommy, model, jetsetter and foodie." I like that type of diversity in a model (click for full-size gallery).

Someone is lying

A's catcher Bruce Maxwell, who kneeled during the National Anthem last month, claims he was denied service at a restaurant in Alabama because the waiter was a Trump supporter. The waiter, however, has a completely different story and I don't know who to believe.

Nice gesture but totally unnecessary

Bulls rookie Lauri Markkanen went way above and beyond the protocol of asking permission to wear a certain number.

Gross moments in Starbucks drink orders

People really love their flavored syrups, and lots of it.
