I could have put the Islander, Devils and Nets into the NY area as a lot of them do root for one of these teams but I decided to leave the NJ teams as that and since I actually liked the 80-83 Islanders I didn't want to credit NYC with them.
Although not the same top end talent as those Islanders teams and in particular Bossey and Trottier the Bruins in many ways remind me of them. Hopefully they emulate them in one more way!

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

I love how when a player is touched he acts as if he were shot or stabbed by a knife. It is sooo embarrassing. I thought pro-athletes had impeccable balance, but in soccer Acting is a necessity if I wanna watch brokeback Mountain. I can just turn on a soccer match. I have seen this movie only by watching soccer like the last World Cup.

Being in my late 60's, I'm enjoying every season.....Having witnessed the B's Stanley Cup win with ORR & Co was a great moment....then seeing the Patriots take the Lombardi not once, but 3 times was unbelievable.....The Sox finally lifting the curse and winning the WS was IMMENSE !!
Seeing the B's win it again, and within just a few years of all the other major Boston sports franchises is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience...
Thank you Lord
Orr was the greatest hockey player that Ive ever seen. Better than Gretsky.
And, Im not saying that because Im from NE. Its the truth.

I know I'm late to the party - and hope I'll be excused if this was already told in the lengthy Bruins Game 7 thread - but I pulled this out of my memory bank (details are a little fuzzy):
Gretsky's singing autographs at some event in the Midwest shortly after his retirement. A guy walks up to him and says, "So, how does it feel to be the second greatest hockey player that ever lived?"
Gretsky looks at the guy and says, "You must be from Boston."
I love that story.

Had an absolute blast watching the B's win the Cup again after all these years. One of the best memories of my childhood was when my Dad took me to a Bruins/ Canadiens game up at the old Montreal Forum in 1974 when I was 11. I remembered the B's came back from being down 4-1 to tie it 4-4. And I just recently found the Globe article (Dec 5, 1974) about that game, which I'm now framing and giving to my dad for Father's Day (belated - I'm flying to NH in a week w/ the family to spend time with my parents. Any Bruins shirts left?)

Yes, Boston sports is a special thing.
Epic battles between the B's and Les Habs. The Canadians were high flying and wide open while the Bruins loved to check and would beat the pulp out of you. IIRC, the Garden was even a smaller rink which was conducive to Bostons style.
The Montreal Canadians were like the Yankees of the NHL and their fans just as obnoxious. Ken Dryden gave the Bruins fits.

Great stuff.
One of my favorite memories was the 1988 PlayOffs against the Canadians, when we FINALLY beat those @#$%& after losing 427 consecutive PlayOff series to them!! We actually won in 5 games, but I swear to GOD it felt like a 7 game series!! Who remembers that series??
It was so HUGE to beat those bastards...And of course this was just a couple years after the Patriots finally VANQUISHED ~ and SQUISHED!! ~ the FISH!!
***
SPEAKING of that great 87-88 team ~ their leading scorer and THIS year's Guiding FORCE ~ I LOVE the fact that one of OUR guys ~ trying out his acting chops ~ had one of the best scenes in Dumb + Dumber!! Sorry if this has been dropped here, before, but it might surprise some folks who didn't know ~ it's just 2:03 long:
