The moment I knew the Bruins would win the Cup was in Game 6 when Brad Marchand was popping one of the Sedin Sisters in the face with absolutely no retaliation. Can you imagine someone doing that to Gretzky or Lemieux back in the day? He would have gotten decapitated! At that moment the Canucks showed themselves to be gutless wonders that would never win the Cup.

Habsman, how is your miserable Montreal Canadiens summer going? You were positive before game 6 that the Bruins and their fans would be “joining you” and the fellowship of the miserable, its was just a matter of a Vancouver win in game 6….then it became game 7.

I’m sure Maxine LaPierre will let you cry on her shoulder.

That’s very true. They’ll be aiming for that spoked B. Gonna be really hard to repeat or even get to the final.

I like Tim Thomas, I really do. But come on, Gregory Campbell (Colie’s boy) was the MVP of the playoffs this year. He was robbed.

“It’s going to be tough to raise that banner next Fall and suddenly shift back to low gear and start all over again. ”
-Not to mention every other team is going to be geared up to beat the Bruins. Boston wears the Target come October. A couple of injuries to the wrong guys (i.e. Chara, Thomas, etc.) would be a problem too.

I forgot about that one. Me thinks a trend is developing.

That would be 3 years in a row then. The Penguins started their championship season in Sweden.

For all we know, he may still have been right- maybe a squirt team could beat the Bruins PK.

Fortunately, the Bruins didn’t have to face a squirt team. Just the Sedins.

Things are looking good indeed. However, nobody will be surprised if there’s a hangover effect next year. Winning the Cup is one very intense ride. It’s going to be tough to raise that banner next Fall and suddenly shift back to low gear and start all over again.

I can assure you, this bunch of guys has electrified this city. They were out and about all day and night with Lord Stanley, and everywhere they went a crowd followed. A large gaggle of media and fans were camped outside a local restaurant into the wee hours last night just waiting to get a glimpse. The guys are having a lot of fun. The parade tomorrow should surpass even the amazing Red Sox celebration in ’04.

Let’s not forget that the B’s started this season in Europe. I remember reading that the ‘Hawks gave credit to the European tour for their tight bonding as a team. That set the stage for the rest of their championship year. The same might be said for this year’s Bruins? Could we see more teams vying for spots on the European and Asian opening tours? Sure has worked well lately.
