Boston Bruins Are Stanley Cup Champions

For the first time in the Stanley Cup Final, the Boston Bruins won in Vancouver. One was all they needed. Both in the series and in the game. Vancouver couldn’t crack Tim Thomas for the first time in Vancouver and the Bruins won their first Stanley Cup in 39 years. Roberto Luongo (LOLberto Luongoal?) gave up a goal in the first and two in the second. He only faced 19 shots. Tim Thomas stopped every shot he saw.

Congrats to the Bruins. Timmy Thomas. Patrice Bergeron. Mark Recchi. Zdeno Chara. A Cup well deserved.

Cripes, did they grow that Chara in a lab? I didn’t know Kryptonians were eligible for NHL play.

I’ve been a Bruins fan for 33 years, since I moved to Maine as a kid. I stayed away from the thread tonight, because I’m a nervous nelly…and I was taking in the Game 7 of the SCF. Congrats to Vancouver for a great year, they’re an amazing team. Great series.

I’m a happy man.

I was always a UNH hockey fan, but never a huge Bruins fan. Knew the big names, hoped they’d win, but never thought that much of it. Even now I’m a bigger Preds fan than Bruins fan, but I’m very happy for them, for all my friends who are celebrating back home, and the Boston Globe will be prominently displayed right next to the Patriots/Red Sox papers.

Good for you. Have a fun night celebrating. Big fun like this doesn’t come along to too many folks. Party on and don’t feel guilty for crimes. just do your crimes that will entertain the rest of us. I want burning couches and apples, you Boston fuck. Seriously, enjoy.

Time for a blog post about cumulative title droughts. I’m guessing out of cities with all 4 major sports, Chicago is second to Boston for lowest cumulative title drought.

/as long as you are a White Sox fan

Would be NY if not for the Knicks

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Vancouver is rioting even though they didn’t win? I don’t think they know how this works!

Last on the list?

Cleveland? At least if you don’t count hockey..

Amen, brother. They started this whole thing, too. I firmly believe Bill Simmons’ theory that the Pats winning help open it up for the Sox.

Detroit would be in good shape, if not for the lions.

seriously? fuck that theory. and fuck the theory that fans didnt cheer hard enough for Pedro. the only theory that matters in boston is the big Roidi HGH theory. and that theory says Big Roidi sucks unless he is on HGH.

Championships in all 4 major sports in 7 years. I can’t imagine any other city is close to that.

They know how it works. It’s the same bunch of idiots who just love to make trouble. Fucking embarassing.

seriously? fuck that theory.

I grew up rooting for the Patriots in the awful early/mid 1990’s (except for one Superbowl loss) and for the Red Sox who’d start off great and my mom would say “hey the Red Sox have a winning record, must be April” and they’d suck the rest of the year. My first Celtics memories were Larry retiring, and Reggie Lewis dying. My favorite players were Ray Crittendon (Pats) Scott Cooper (Sox) and Dana Barros (Celts).

2001 was the first time I realized that good things could happen in sports.

They know how it works.

Official word, were they only booing Bettman, and respecting the B’s, or were they booing them at all?
