Boston Bruins Have It

Hard to believe a 38 year drought has ended with the Boston Bruins winning the Stanley cup, against all odds, winning in Vancouver 4 - 0 over the favoured Vancouver Canucks. I have been a Boston Bruins fan since I was about eight years old and
was eighteen when they last won the cup. That of course goes back to the days of Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and other great Bruin teams. It also is the second year in a row that an original six team has won the Cup as the Chicago Black Hawks won it last year.
Going into Game seven against Vancouver, I thought the Bruins could win if Tim Thomas remained hot and if the Bruins got the first goal. Well both happened as Thomas got the shutout and the Bruins scored four goals in a row.
Equally hard to believe is how so many Vancouver Canuck fans could be so stupid as to cause all the damage they did after the game by rioting. Over and over i have heard people say that these were not Canuck fans but I disagree with that. Through games 1 - 6 the CBC constantly took us to the square showing us over 100,000 Vancouver Canucks fans rejoicing after wins in games one and two and then not so much rejoicing after games three, four and six. Over and over we were told that there were well over
100,000 Vancouver Canucks fans in the square and how they rejoiced after Vancouver's 1 - 0 win in game five. Then comes game seven, the Canucks lose it, lose the Stanley Cup, the same people in the streets riot and now we are told well they really weren't Vancouver Canuck fans. How can they be Canuck fans through six games and suddenly not after the riot. I don't buy it.
But any rate the Bruins win the Cup and end a long drought.
This has been a busy week. On Tuesday morning I went to Regina to set up for the Western Canada Farm Progress Show and then Tuesday afternoon flew to Calgary for meetings on Wednesday. Thursday morning (today) flew back to Regina to work the show for a couple of days and then tomorrow will finish the show, tear down our display and drive home to Saskatoon in the evening.
Been a long week but it is nearly over.
With hockey over now, looking forward to the start of the Canadian Football League season and of course passionately cheering on the Saskatchewan Roughriders who have made it to the Grey Cup two years in a row only to lose both games. Hoping for better things this year.
