I agree with Mike. I experienced the 70's and was bummed when they only came away with 2 cups. I was 14 and playing hockey 3 times a week back then and Hockey was king. I ate, slept, and lived hockey as did most Boston sports fans of that time period. We never missed any games, regular or playoff games, for many, many years. I slowly faded my attention for a bunch of years as other interests grew but always kept tabs on them. This year I dedicated my interests to watching them and really came away with a real appreciation for their hard earned Cup. I have not always been a fan of the dump it in and go get it style, loving the stylish wide open Olympic and European style but I really enjoyed watching a lesser talented, compared to V C, team just impose their will on the Cunucks. By mid third period last nite they were a beaten, frustrated, and out hustled bunch of players and it was a thing of beauty to watch and as stylish as any style I have watched in a long time. They had a plan and worked it to a T. Congrats to the Bruins this year as they epitomized the word team. Oh yeah and thanks Timmy T. you gave a performance for the ages. Now I can get a good nites sleep, what a ride.
