Vancouver, June 15th, 2011, pretty late…

YESSS!! Didn’t think I would ever see this in my lifetime, but thankfully the Bruins have followed the excellent example of all the other major Boston sports teams and won a freakin’ championship within the past decade!!!
I thought Vancouver would win 1-0, or 2-1 in overtime as usual in their home arena. And I would groan, but at least be comforted by the fact that a Canadian hockey team who never got the cup won. Much better than a loss to southern california, arizona, dallas, or florida.
Fortunately, the Boston curse I grew up with during the 80s and 90s has now finally been destroyed! What am I going to do, without the usual New England sports angst?? I guess I’ll watch in complete relaxation for awhile!
The last time Boston won, I was a 5-6 month old fetus! Now Todd/Diana have a 7.5 month old fetus, and Michelle and I have a 2.5 month old fetus. (We had a miscarriage this past spring, I will feel much more comfortable in 2-3 weeks if all goes well. We haven’t told all our family members yet, so please don’t “spread the word”, thanks.)
Congrats Bruins players and fans. This was a long time coming. In the 80’s, I just prayed the Bruins would battle it to the finals so they could be crushed by Edmonton.
