EDIT: If you don't believe me just wiki Roslindale. I just wanted to see what reaction you would make. Why is everyone so hostile around here?

Nothing better than seeing the pens pull a choke job.DroidPhysX

couldn't have handpicked these matchup for the pens any better. islander, sens, and now the bruins? wow...starwarsjunky

Basically I was rooting for anyone but the Penguins. :)

And I hate almost every professional team on I-95 that isn't D.C. :P

That game was fantastic. Hope every game is like that...maybe just not 3OT

Boy you think the Bruins would actually try in Game 5.

Bergeron being out made a huge difference. Toews was hurt too but I think the Bruins need Bergeron more than the Hawks need Toews. Hopefully both of them are back and ready to go for game 6

We did it JML897. 2 times in 3 years. I called it.

Too bad its not a WhiteSox, Bulls/Bears championship though.

Congrats to the Blackhawks.

Not a hockey fan but christ, it must suck to be a boston sports fan, the amount of heart-break they've endured these last few years must be rough.

Their team made it to the finals, that's something to hang their hats on.  And they lost to the best team in the regular season, and they played their hearts out, and it was one of the best finals in a long time.  I know it's always better to have your team win, but having them lose in a series that's probably going to go down as a classic isn't the worst thing in the world.

Also, props to Boston fans for staying for the ceremony.  Philly fans should be taking notes.

Wrong thread.  Anyways, the way our team is playing it doesn't matter who's pitching.  At least we got a hockey championship this year, time to start focusing on football.

Boston fans are more spoiled. Look at recent history.

Football: Giants have a couple super bowls but the Jets are the laughing stock of the league. Patriots have been contenders pretty much every year since 2001. I guess I'll give NY the edge because of more recent Super Bowls, but even then that's only half of the city that enjoyed them since the fanbase is split.

Basketball: Celtics won a title recently and are respectable, the Knicks are the most overrated organization in all of sports. They have a grand total of 2 NBA championships that they won in the 70s. Like the Jets they get laughed at all the time. Nets are boring.

Baseball: Yankees and Red Sox are the same

Hockey: Bruins have had more recent success than either NY team

"but eventually Boston sports will have another 1990s".

• Red Sox made the playoffs in 90, 95, 98-99
• Patriots in 94, 96-98
• Celtics in 90-93, 95
• Bruins in 90-96, 98-99

At no time during the 1990s did Boston not have a playoff-caliber team.  Looks like 1997 was the only year when Boston didn't have at least two teams in the playoffs.  And yet, that was supposed to be a down period for Boston sports.  Spoiled!

I wish Washington D.C. fans were spoiled too. :cry:

Talent is great. Lack of championships isn't.

This might be the worst year in a while to have lots of cap space. We'll be overpaying for Clarkson/Bozak/others. And buying out Grabo was just stupid. Probably the best center out there now.
