Life Beyond The Cup


Once you've been eliminated, 
taken out of active competition, 
as the Boston Bruins have been, 
one can take example on the hero 
number four - Bobby Orr. 
Cut down in his prime, 
unable to play any longer 
due to sustained injury, 
he continued to inspire  
in even more meaningful ways 
than mere title glory 
and trophy-collecting...! 

And that makes him a true Bostonian - 
even when, back then, he wasn't sure he was 
he is the epitome of just that: 
the most refined Bostonian prototype 
one whose vision is not 
limited to the mere present 
but sees ahead and thinks 
of greater concerns 
for the collectivity. 

Let's all be 
like Bobby!
