I am a die-hard Celtics fan from Vancouver. I want to go to Boston for around 4 days early next year to catch a Celtics game, but would also like to see either the Bruins / Patriots / Red Sox....ideally all of them but I realize seasons don't overlap enough..
The problem I am having is finding the 'ideal' weekend to go...I can go from Thursday to Sunday or Friday to Monday...
Any advice would be appreciated...

The Red Sox and Celtics would only overlap during the spring. Patriots won't be playing then.
Patriots, Red Sox overlap in fall. NBA season starts in November, baseball is all done in October - maybe September if the Sox don't make the playoffs.
Bruins season hits right on the hairy edge of the Red Sox. Starts roughly Oct 1, ends first week April.
Odds of the Bruins making the playoffs - 50/50 (everyone makes the playoffs in hockey don't they). Therefore coming in the spring hoping for Bruins/Red Sox overlap is a long shot. Also the Red Sox always start out on the road because the weather is to unpredictable. In 2008 they open the season in Japan.
Odds of the Celtics making the playoffs - excellent.
Odds of the Red Sox making the playoffs - 80%
You would need to decide which you want to see more, the Patriots or the Red Sox. It won't be possible to come at a time when all 4 all playing.
If you live in Vancouver you can go to Seattle to see the Celtics and Red Sox every year. Probably easier to get tickets there than it will be here. The Bruins come to Vancouver (assume you mean Vancouver BC?), the Patriots would be the hardest to find local to you.
Therefore - I'd say come in the fall, get Red Sox, Patriots - maybe you could pick up a Bruins game? This would be in October and you would need the Red Sox to be in the playoffs and you would have to be lucky enough to get playoff tickets.
Be aware that getting tickets for any of these teams except the Bruins is next to impossible. Look at the prices on stubhub.com.
I was at game 1 of the 2007 world series, talked to numerous people from Denver who paid $1200+ per seat. Granted it was the world series. I paid face value $150 each for my seats.

Boston has a wealthy history and a diverse neighbourhood; it has a legacy of arts, culture, and knowledge; Boston has anything for all so discover what Boston can offer you with hotelbye . The three-mile Freedom Trail leads you previous - and in to - 16 of the city's key ancient monuments and sites. It's easy to follow along with, by the type of red stones in the pavement and by footprints at road crossings. The trail may get you to Old Granary Burying Ground wherever Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are hidden; can get you to King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Boston's oldest cemetery; Old South Meeting House where in actuality the ringing speeches of patriots spawned the Boston Tea Party and the Old State House, Boston's oldest community developing and the site of the Boston Massacre.
