Oh boy do I have a take for you good people on this beautiful Friday.
Since my two Bruins bloggers are taking a lil vacation in the middle of the Stanley Cup Final, and the Sox got postponed last night because the Yankees ground crew is far less superior to our very own at Fenway Stadium, I will be doing a lil Bruins talk.
First of all, anyone who said this series would be a 4 game sweep is a dolt. Did I get caught up in the thrashing that was game one and maybe said Bruins in 4 immediately after? Yes, but I never said I wasn’t a dolt. So jokes on you, reader.
You, the reader: What’s the Spin zone, Coop. Get to it already.
Me, the President: Zip it, and let me make literary love to your viewing holes with long doses of intros.
Well, I for one am glad I stayed up past my 9am bedtime to see the Bruins lose in OT. Imagine having a four game sweep. YUCK. SNOOZE. YAWN FEST.
Do I want the Bruins to win it all? Well, I’m clearly no Celtics fan after this past season for not doing so. The Bruins winning the cup would mean more to me than Afghanistan meant to Premier Gorbachev. The World Series was my East Berlin, but Afghanistan is most certainly the Cup. We’ll take it the cup just to have to give it back at the end of the Summer. I guess the Super Bowl would be the Baltics? Like ya, we got it but we also have about 5 others so it isn’t too special.
Bruins losing game two was huge though. Because now we feel a little more panicked and can win game five at home. The Bruins have not one a Stanley Cup final at home in well over 40 years. The pandemonium that would ensue would only be comparable to the trial of the Red Coats in the Boston Massacre that wasn’t actually a massacre (there has to be 10 more people killed to be a massacre but only 8 people were killed). What I mean by this is that we gave them our best lawyer and future President just to make it feel like they had a chance. We all knew the result of the trial though.
Game two was our Game 3 of the World Series. From the jump our boys could have easily won but decided to give the folks back home a series to remember. Why do you think OT lasted 45 seconds. So, thank you first line for not trying. Thank you Chara for acting old. And thank you Sundqvist for killing Grz. It all
