Stolen Dreams

Let's see now, let us recap the situation: 

this assortment of Scabs & Scumbags alike

(half of which can't even speak French 

-or English, for that matter- 

whatsoever coherently...)

FIRST they beat Tampa Bay 

only because the Lightning's goalie was out. 

THEN they steal game one against Boston 

and then game three 

and push the insult so far 

as stealing game seven, too...

AND, NOW, THEY WANT TO STEAL OUR DREAM AS WELL?!?

Have a look at their local rag,

courtesy of used-to-be-PKP's Québécor...

$7.95 for that plate at St-Hubert...?

What a rip-off, actually!

But that's another story...

Well, two can play this game, of course: you steal from us - we've already taken considerably from you!  As we said, you crashed our 90th anniversary bash, Scabs; but, back in 2009, we totally annihilated any hopes, joy and dreams you might have had while celebrating your 100th anniversary - remember that? No? You don't?  You have selective memory and will only remember how game 7 in 2008 went your way, thanks to the refs again, hmm?  You will only remember 2004, when you bashed Joe Thornton's earliest hopes of contending - but not 1994, when the Boston Bruins showed you up for the worthless ''defending champions'' that you were!  You want to remember 1993, and make analogies - but forget that time, when you had Jaroslav Halak in net, and you managed to upset both Washington and Pittsburgh for absolutely NOTHING. Or all the other times the Bruins eliminated you, with or without Cam Neely, in the 90s?  How could you forget all that: how could you forget 2009, you senile old scumbag-Scabs!  Heck, how can you forget anything ever when your provincial slogan/catchphrase/whatever is ''Je me souviens''...?!?  Is it alzheimer's or what?

Let's refresh your memory right now... 

Let's go back 5 short years, to 2009...
Game four in progress - Bruins lead series 3-0...

WHAT A JOY TO BEHOLD! 

Marc Savard still played... 

Mark Recchi, too...

Tim Thomas in net - Bruins Hockey all the way...

David Krejci scores the winning goal...

Phil Kessel scored a meaningful one...

And one of your former guys scored two against you!

You didn't see this coming, at the start of those playoffs, did you?

Even though the tide had turned 

in that regular-season game decisively won by Boston  

when Milan Lucic destroyed Mike Komisarek... 

Remember THAT?

(It is so funny to see Mike try and fight Milan again 

in this video, too: truly priceless!)

Oh yeah...

You were pumped up for this one, Scabs - you truly were! 

The paraphernalia surrounding that big ''100TH'' went largely unsold - 

as your presence in the playoffs was so very short 

and then you had ZERO victories (or zero games that you were able to steal) 

and FOUR STRAIGHT CRUSHING LOSSES - 

the last two of which were right at home, in your creepy center...

(Was it the Bell Witch Center yet? 

Or was there still Molson mildew all over it?

Who gives a damn - right? 

The important thing is that YOU LOST - 

in truly humiliating fashion, too!)

And that former player of yours who came back 
to stab you in that mercenary heart of yours then, Scabs: 

Michael T Ryder would go on to win the Cup with Boston 

(but only two years later, granted: as we were robbed 

in both 2009 and 2010, in later rounds, 

by undeserving, worthless opponents 

just like you, Scabs-Pieces-O'Feces... 

But those are other stories...)

You had recuperated one of ours, too: 

the gritty Glen Metropolit who, just the previous year, 

had played his heart out alongside other 

ephemeral Boston Bruins up-and-coming stars 

(notably Petteri Nokelainen - who, ironically enough, 

would also be scab-hunted and collected by the CH 

a few years later... as this pic shows well!

He went from a one-eyed Bruin full of grit...to a Scab... 
to a Bulldog. But that's another story as well!)

The 2008 Bruins played so well, pushing the series to a seventh game, 

on your 99th b-day, scoundrel Scabs, 

a 7th game that was bitterly disappointing, that time...

For, on that year of 2008, the roles were still reversed: 

the Bruins were an up-and-coming group 

while the Scabs were viewed as the ''contenders'' 

- ha, what a crock right there!

What happened to you in 2008, Scabs, 

is going to be the same thing that will happen in 2014:

in the subsequent rounds, you were showed up 

for the lucky posers that your truly are

(especially you, Scary-ThePrice-Is-Wrong!

You're overpaid: admit it.) 

But back to 2009 - 

that edition of the Boston Bruins 

was all about VINDICATION. 

Like the Boston Bruins of 1969-1970 

had been dubbed the AVENGERS:

going all the way, led by Bobby Orr. 

The 2009 edition avenged what was then 

recent frustration - only that.

By sweeping Montreal in 4 straight, 

they erased all that, when it hurt the most:

because the Scabs and their scummy fans 

were so sure they were going to get #25 

for their 100th... HAHAHAHAHA!

As for the BOSTON BRUINS - 

2014 is to go down as 1971,

1984 and 1993, especially, went: 

great seasons that should have ended 

with the team hoisting the champions' grail.

Instead, each time, they were prevented 

from fulfilling their rightful destiny 

by a bunch of fools determined 

to be spoilers - 
mere worthless, envious spoilers 
and nothing else.

Tim Thomas had to lose a game 7 to you 

before he fulfilled his destiny - and won the cup.

So it will be with Tuukka Rask.

Mark my words!

And it will only be sweeter 

when he does it, just like Timmy did; 

by going through you first!
