Another Dream Come True!

We had originally envisioned a hard-fought series that would have almost gone the distance - evidently giving the mercenary hearts that chose a Pitt over a Beantown way too much credit in the process!  Our prediction of BRUINS IN SIX was based upon the knowledge that all of those misbegotten statistics-lovers readily have at their disposal throughout the year; partly thanks to the wretched NHL.COM. And, sure, the core group of forwards that the Pitt had assembled had wreaked havoc all throughout the league, scoring almost at will against everyone else - but, ah-ha, there it is right there: the Boston Bruins are not ''everyone else'' - not at all!  Where no one could make the necessary adjustments in any single game matching-up with these so-called ''mighty Pens'' - when two other teams (made up of considerably weaker elements than both the Bruins and the Pitt itself) could not adjust either, despite being in the midst of a series with them - the Boston Bruins could.  Not only did they make all the right adjustments required to take game one, they made them for the course of the entire series and limited an adversary used to score at will and averaging nearly 5 goals a game to just two goals - for the entire series' length.  This sure is another dream performance, another dream scenario unfolding and another dream come true: and it is all so richly deserved, too.

BRAVO BOSTON BRUINS!  2013 Eastern Conference Champions (just as in 2011 - however, this time around, they needed only 16 games to achieve it, compared to 18 two years ago.  Still, both times they swept a team from Pennsylvania: and it seemed to be easier this time, too!) 

What a great gift for Milan Lucic, who celebrates his birthday simultaneously...! 

And, as I said on Facebook: no worthier team in the entire Eastern Conference (past, present or future: you hear, that, teams that will be realigned to be a part of the East, next year?) could or should have landed this precious title!  Next up: the prestigious cup that should have been yours three years in a row, really - if not for that instance of high larceny on ice that occurred last year in the first round...  Capital punishment was served afterwards though; they went nowhere fast after that and, this year, they were victimized by the under-performing ''blue shirts', that fell to the Bruins in five games.  (Now this time it really was ''cing petites parties'' you history-revising -distorting, in truth- yellow wanna-be journalists up north - otherwise known as the envious rabble from Quawbeck!  It was so nice to see your prodigal son, ''Mario Le Magnifico'' totally bewildered as his team of rag-tag all-stars failed miserably when they came up against a real cohesive team that redefines fraternity, hard work and flawless execution!  Just like in the 80s and 90s, when Cam Neely eclipsed Mario Lemieux on the ice when their respective teams matched-up, Cam The Man has done it again to LaMeww from the other side of hockey operations this time!  Take that, all of the so-called Belle Province - FOR YOU ARE NOT THE HUB OF HOCKEY - BOSTON IS THE HUB OF HOCKEY!  But I digress...) 

What's more, Milan Lucic proved he is the present and the future - while Jarome Iginla is only the past, fading away fast...  Patrice Bergeron proved he is the best two-way center in the league - and that Sidney Crosby is a distant second.  David Krejci proved he is the best performer come clutch-time - and Evgeni Malkin is nothing more than a poser indeed.  Zdeno Chara schooled the entire Pitt defense (and most particularly absurd Norris Trophy nominee Kris Letang) what proper defense is all about.  Andrew Ference taught every other defenseman from the Pitt what truly bringing it is all about! And Jaromir Jagr showed Brenden Morrow what a veteran is supposed to bring to the table in order to help his new team win!   

I could go on with the comparisons... But why bother?  The Pitt is gone - good riddance! Onwards to the next opponent now... 

But not yet - not just yet...! 

Enjoy this remarkable and complete victory first - for BOSTON deserves it!

NHL Properties again -  but credit the Boston Bruins first!
