FiddySicks Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I do expect a column about how he really wanted to try and like hockey, but the Bruins were so bad on the ice and Wirtzianly disrespectful to their New England faithful (ignoring the fact that the Bruins were a perennially above-average team until the late '90s) that he had no choice but to turn his back, and more people will go along with this than probably correctly assume that some meathead in an Orr sweater bullied him once.I don't think Bob barker is much of a hockey fan On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

You need a downtown to have a parade, and as I understand it Anaheim doesn't have one or something. You need more than a road, you need a densely populated place.

rams80 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 So two things will happen: Each Boston area team will have won a championship within the last 7 years, or a third Canadian team will have won a Stanley Cup the year after the city hosted the olmypics.Either way it's gonna be a s****y outcome. I was all ready to pull for the Bruins untill you pointed that out.Looks like I'll be cheering for "meteor hits arena" again.

Don Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'll watch the out of this series. Its going to be a barn burner of a series. My gut says Vancouver will win, but I just cant count Boston out. I think its a great matchup.

NEW.ERA Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 So you have one team that's been waiting 40 years for a Cup and their first and one that's been waiting 37 years to get their sixth.Should be a hell of a series, can't wait.

slapshot Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I do expect a column about how he really wanted to try and like hockey, but the Bruins were so bad on the ice and Wirtzianly disrespectful to their New England faithful (ignoring the fact that the Bruins were a perennially above-average team until the late '90s) that he had no choice but to turn his back, and more people will go along with this than probably correctly assume that some meathead in an Orr sweater bullied him once.The Bruins did make the playoffs 30 (I think) years in a row, but it recent times, only made it to the Stanley Cup twice since 1980, both times losing to Edmonton. The Bruins ownership had traditionally been dead set against spending money on free agents, and the few times they did it were big busts (Al Iafrate and Kevin Stevens). The furthest haven't gotten to the conference finals since then, if I remember correctly, except during the reign of the Penguins.Even now, it's not like this is a dominant team. The crappy power play unit, defensive lapses and inconsistency of Tim Thomas (even though he's probably going to win the Vezina) make it impossible to enter the Finals with any feeling of confidence. There were only two games, I think, where Tampa didn't score in the opening minute of a period, and if this continues, I see the cup draped in blue and green.
