How could I ignore the Bruins going to their first Stanley Cup finals since 1990?
While I may have been away from the blog, I’ve been intently watching this Bruins team as it has placed a stranglehold around it’s fans hearts by winning their first three rounds in the 2011 NHL playoffs.
It’s been a while, and the Finals start tomorrow night in Vancouver, so here’s a quick summary of what has happened since my last post:
- Blake Wheeler is gone
- Tyler Seguin is BACK
- Elizabeth Taylor is Dead
- After losing the first two games at home, the Bruins beat Montreal in a thrilling game 7 OT classic. A Nathan Horton goal sends fans into a state of nirvana in the streets surrounding the Garden.
- Osama Bin Laden – DEAD.
- Bruins then sweep the Flyers in four straight, proving they CAN close out a 3-0 lead. Redemption? Check.
- Our hometown heroes then knock off the Tampa Bay Lightning in another 7-game instant classic, with Horton again delivering the game 7 winner in a 1-0 thriller.
Sit back and enjoy, Bruins fans…who knows when this may come around again.
Here’s an interesting perspective from a Vancouver TV station…including the demise of the mysteriously-named “Boston Pizza”.
