Whatever happens, number 63...
Whether you put the last nails in the coffin
of the Stanley Cup Final opponent
-again- like you did in 2011...
Or not...
IT WAS A GREAT SEASON, MAN

Lake Tahoe
Ohh...
IT IS TOO LATE to collect a bunch of
VIRTUAL CARDS...
and MAYBE win that prize pack!
...of course, those "Digital Card Packs" (DCPs...?)
were not even pictures taken at Lake Tahoe at all...
They couldn't be; having been taken, so obviously,
even before the pandemic started...!!!
And this thing now - the Digital Card - is never
going to raise in value like the good old-fashioned
collectible trading card of old...!!!
What are you trying to pull, Upper Deck... huh?!?
Virtual wool over the fanboys eyes...!!!
But that's another story - extemporized
on another blog, too...!
The Boston Bruins dominated at Lake Tahoe;
Trent Frederic got his first NHL goal
while David Pastrnak got his 10th NHL hat trick
In the end, the Bruins trounced the pesky Flyers 7-3
- and there was nothing Gritty, Philly Phanatic or anybody else
could possibly do about it!!! Wooooo! LOL
NOTHING BUT GREAT MEMORIES
FROM LAKE TAHOE!
We don't need you, Upper Deck!

***TRIPLE CROWN***
BOSTON HAS ACHIEVED A
TRIPLE CROWN OF SORTS
--- NO MATTER WHAT!
*SUPER BOWL CHAMPS*
*WORLD SERIES CHAMPS*
AND THE BEAST OF THE EAST
IN THE NHL PLAYOFFS!*
Every other town in North America
is dead envious of this - YOU KNOW IT!
"Wait 'til next year...!!!"
* a trifle banged up, in the end -
as we all know now...
Well, Chris Wagner was not seen in a long while -
he has a broken arm! Several other Bruins played on
with a whole lot of nagging injuries bothering them...
TRUE HEROES - I tell ya!
AND THE ONE TRUE
CHAMPIONS!

100th Anniversary... Of Helping!
Only BOSTON came through to help out
at the most dire hour in Nova Scotia history;
the infamous Halifax Explosion tragedy
that cut short so many lives -
altered the path of so many more...
The city of Boston was the one that sent
supplies, clothes, the works -
and that Christmas, after the explosion,
wasn't so sad and miserable after all...
Ever since, out of deepest gratitude,
Halifax ships, each year, a Christmas Tree to Boston
- and this tradition not only continues,
one hundred years later -
it is at its strongest yet.

Healing... for 2016
Boston needs good vibes and a lot of positivism coming into a new year - and going forward. The whole world needs it, in the face of terror threats and all that jazz... May we find the strength and the peace we seek - and realize our goals all the same, in #TitleTown and beyond.

Dreaming Of... Death & Justice?
''Punishment must fit the crime...'' - and in this case, it probably does? But one has to remember how many lives were affected by what happened, on that day of April 2013, when the Boston Marathon was interrupted by two misguided radicals. One has to be Boston Strong to see this: one has to look past a boy's seemingly angelic demeanor, on such shots as this, too:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev justifiably deserves what he has coming his way now - if he did set up those bombs that killed four people and injured a host of others, along with his brother. There will be those who will claim that he has been set up himself (hell, there are even ''Boston Marathon Fakers'' the same way as there have been ''9/11 truthers'' since 2001...!) and there will be those other folks who will hail him as some sort of martyr now, on the international civil liberties scale...
There is no logical reason to believe that there was some hoax here, perpetrated by whom, for what purpose? To kill two brothers? This will not propel the entire nation towards martial law exclusively aimed at muslim citizens now; come on! This is not a Boston Tea Party for racism and social prejudice basing itself upon the fear of terrorism and radicalism: it cannot be. There would have been a full scale round up of the truly dangerous rotten apples in the basket if it was: and it wouldn't have started with two kids, or at the Boston Marathon of all places.
There is no case to make for this kid's defense either: he wanted to avenge what happened to ''his people'' and went about it the wrong way. Why didn't he and his big bro just go abroad try to help out in Chechnya, instead, huh? And by help we mean rebuild, not bring about misguided retaliatory actions that only make things worse: because an eye for an eye brings nothing in the end. Haven't we seen it a million times over in the hockey rink, on the gridiron, on the basketball court or in the baseball field (well, usually the pitcher's mound, really) whenever one team tries to pay back, in kind, the other team for one of their player's injuries...? Nothing is ever accomplished that way. And being American by proxy, to whatever degree, the young Tsar here should have learned from America's allegories for life, which are not just baseball games at three different levels...
Because here was a kid with dreams - just like any other kid growing up in the Boston area. He had, like any one of us, aspirations and, perhaps, delusions - maybe greater delusions of grandeur than the norm, but then again, perhaps not. He and his brother came to the United States to live out their dreams: not to end so ignominously. They certifiably had their very own Bostonian dreams, like all of us Boston fans do; Like all of us, they hid a dark side: most of us keep in check, fight it off, subdue it throughout our lives - because we all strive to do good, be good, be the hero. Nobody wants to do evil outright: many of those who do are like Tsar and his bro here - they think they're doing what's right! Sort of like the Habs when they are stealing victory from greater teams: they firmly believe it is right to do so! Maybe like the NFL cheaters do randomly, too - and in this we include the Patriots, of course! But that's another story - for another blog post!
The point is: these two brothers were not 100% evil: like all of us, they are shades of grey. And there may not quite be fifty shades of it out there: but there are enough to distinguish moderate criminals from upstanding citizens - from those deserving to serve as examples that thou shall not do that. Having said that - Tsar is not the worst there is, out there; there are many more deserving of the lethal injection or electric chair or guillotine... Hell, Tsar looks like Habs goalie Carey Price! Looks may be deceiving and all, but tell me now or forever hold your piece - do we really wanna hang Price? Even when he is so dead WRONG: do we really want to see him hang, high and dry, now do we? I don't think so. I just want to see him as he really is: a sieve, on most nights throughout the rest of his damnable NHL career - or his CH career, tenure or whatchumightcallit at any rate. For 2014-2015 was a fluke - but that is another story, too.
It may never be 100% certifiably sure that it was the two brothers who set off those bombs.
One thing is for sure, however: the younger brother's dreams come to an end now, just as the older brother's did, shortly after the Marathon bombing...

The B.E.S.T: Bostonian Extreme Sports!
Kind of on a ''FB video craze'' right now -
and look what I found there now:
Post by Vince DelMonte.
Ah, those Go Pro - Be A Hero guys...!
They're loco... man!
And they're inspiring too!
They inspire Boston athletes all the time
(that is, when they are not Bostonians themselves!)
and they sure did inspire me on numerous times -
most notably for this video right here:
Genesis - not Boston, this time...
Oh well...
Phil Collins is kinda like
an adopted Bostonian, too!

Boston's Finest Foursome
A recently released brand new t-shirt design
assembling a Celtic, a Sox, a Bruin and a Pat
(namely Rajon Rondo, Dustin Pedroia,
Patrice Bergeron and Tom Brady)
got us all thinking, here, at Bostonian Dreams...
Who, ah, but who truly is the ultimate quartet,
the Finest Four... the fantastic four
of this fine town... Boston?
There are the generic, prototypical ones,
amply used by B:CofC here:
Stupendous DeviantArt by Gartner
And then there are Boston's actual athletes, of course:
Patrice, Rajon, Dustin and Tom represent an elite today, surely...
But do they really compare with these:
Yaz... Larry... Cam... Ty...
Bobby... Bill... David... Teddy...
Or, in truth and fact, Boston's True Finest:

Generous Greg & Bratty Brad
Look at what the Boston Bruins webmaster (webmestre?)
and social media coordinator
has shared regarding the B's off-season
caritas (charitable) activities...
Three things the share failed to, er, share:
who is Pete Frates... what is ALS...
and who could it be, among the B's,
that Gregory Campbell aka Soupy
would have thought of, first,
to extend this offer to...?
Pete Frates is a former Boston College
baseball player who is actually
plagued with the disease now.
ALS is better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
And the attempt at keeping a veil of mystery
shrouding the identity of the player
whom ''Soupy'' challenged was...
surely on purpose
but everyone knew who it was,
already!
Brad Marchand - aka Marchy -
not only accepted the challenge
(and delivered proof, too -
but passed it on to several more
genuinely kind-hearted guys:
teammates Torey Krug and Chris Kelly
as well as the AHL's Andrew Bodnarchuk
and his own brother Jeff Marchand.
ALS doesn't stand a chance
when the Bruins
are involved!
This just goes to show,
once again,
that the Boston Bruins
are a tremendous bunch
of genuine good guys
- no matter what some may say!
Meanwhile,
Gregory Campbell's lookalike,
Graham DeLaet,
is raising man's awareness
of Dove for Men products
first and foremost.
It just speaks for itself.
None of the gentlemen involved
are veritable ''doves'' however -
not even the cartoon character there...
But that's another story.

When Dreams Collide...!
So many cars, circulating out there, have no problem at all showing off such duality: I've seen some extremely odd pairings out there and I've seen some totally utterly inexplicable and unthinkable ones - heck, for me, they're outright unacceptable! Fans of the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens, sharing the same car...? That's a recipe for disaster!
In this MUNDIAL atmosphere, we will not see (I hope - ever) fans of the New England Revolution and Montreal Impact carpool and make the world aware of that... (Now there's an impossibility right there: sales of those little flag-thingies are not that good -in the MLS- for that to happen!)
However I have seen cars sporting, on one side, the Italian flag... On the other side (the passenger side!) the Spanish flag! I guess that is more in the realm of the ''possible''...?
Portuguese and Brazilian are a natural pairing too, of course...
But now, with the upcoming match between Portugal and the USA in this World Cup tournament... this has reached the unbearable breaking point here!
For it is my Bostonian Dreams facing off with my Portuguese Dreams now...!
This could tear me apart - in two slightly even halves, too. (Such symmetry King Solomon would be proud of, I am sure...)
How to choose now? Which side to pull for...?!?
Ah - I know!
IT IS EASY - really... after all... phew...
Since there no sexy Hope Solo legs to look at, the choice is clear: we'll root for the land of my ancestors, the roots of my pride, the genesis of my lineage...
And that is... Portugal!
Sorry, Boston! No cup for you this year - in any way, shape or form!

Looking Back...
Dreaming is often rife with nostalgia - my favorite word for it is saudade, personally - and so, why not look back at the highlights of a season that ended disappointingly -especially because of that ending, actually- as the Boston Bruins are doing on their own website...?
This, out of all of those highlights, has to be the one single moment that warms one's heart the most - for this is when the Bruins did better than well: they did good.
This, out of all of those highlights, has to be the one single moment that warms one's heart the most - for this is when the Bruins did better than well: they did good.

Simulated Dreams
It is a simulation using the made-in-Vancouver "NHL 14" game
released across North America by EA Sports,
that saw the Boston Bruins winning the Stanley Cup
in six games against none other than the San Jose Sharks.
( No rematch with the Hawks - boo hoo.)
THE CANADIAN PRESS/ho-EA
An EA Sports simulation is better than no form of favorable omen at all, some could say; now to translate virtual into reality once again... Visibly emulating very real components from fact-sheets from both regular season statistics and past playoffs campaigns, this simulation gave the Boston Bruins the ultimate goal in hockey after ousting four familiar foes (Detroit, which was a known opponent when the simulation was done, Montreal, the New York Rangers and, in the end, San Jose, whose year finally would come to reach the big dance, or so it would seem at simulation time.) Detroit has fulfilled its part and played its role very well: after stealing game one, they dropped four in a row to an inspired Bruins club (prompting some fans to say ''first it was wings as starters: next, it's frog legs!'' Main course could be fishy - or ducky? Stay tuned!) In order to achieve all that, one would figure that the reliable cogs would deliver: the goalie gets the Conn Smythe Trophy again (Tuukka Rask's projected goals-against average is an infinitesimal 1.56; he's having four shutouts throughout the playoffs -already had one against Detroit as a matter of fact- and his save percentage is a truly excellent .948 - Go, Rask, Go!) David Krejci would quietly lead all scorers once more with 21 points over the duration, as he's done in 2011 for example; Go, Krejci, Go! No mention of Jarome Iginla's involvement and production in the short summary that we saw, but it can be presumed that the fact that this is his golden chance to finally hoist the ultimate trophy weighed in the way this simulation went! Go, Iggy, Go! The EA version of Zdeno Chara can only be even more intimidating than the real-life one too: Go, Chara, Go! Likewise for Milan Lucic and his fists: Go, Lucic, Go! But it would go to Patrice Bergeron, Bergy himself, the honor of bringing the Bruins back to the Finals - as he scores the series-clinching goal against NY five minutes into overtime in game 7 of the Eastern Finals! (Is EA a big fan of that wild comeback against the Leafs last year or what, you think? Well, so am I...! Go, Bergy, Go!)
On the other end of this spectrum, surprise after surprise - for, to see Boston go all the way is not surprising at all, but to see a scenario unfold that has three former champions of recent years fall before both an upstart team reborn of its ashes since their new coach came into town (said coach was still playing for them last time they contended for anything at all!) and the perennial underachieving club reaching the end - it is a daring bet, to say the least! Colorado and San Jose would be responsible for the eliminations of three top contenders: the Avs were projected to be able to dispose of Chicago in the second round, while San Jose would take care of Los Angeles in the very first round, then Anaheim in the second and finally Colorado in the Western Finals - in six games. We'll get back to this in a second...!
The simulation was spot on in several cases though, one has to admit: Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Columbus and Dallas had no chance to survive the first round - and in reality, none of them did. EA Sports and the NHL 14 game were daring enough to project a sweeping elimination for the team managed by Steve Yzerman: and that is exactly what happened to poor Tampa, unbelievably enough, against the execrably lucky Canadiens. The Philadelphia Flyers were to be swept too; however, in real life, they proved tougher than that against the Rangers, forcing a decisive game 7. Columbus did fall to the Pittsburgh Penguins; and the Dallas Stars, despite reuniting components from the 2011 Boston Bruins magical team of destiny (Tim Thomas and Tyler Seguin, basically - with some inspiration from Rich Peverley, perhaps) failed to conjure up anything starry at all against the formerly-mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Also of note, despite their great 2013-2014 season, the St.Louis Blues did fall indeed before the reigning champions Blackhawks - it was close, as was the Columbus-Pitt series (surprisingly, but not-so much) and Dallas-Anaheim series (quite surprisingly; but one can dismiss it easily as the usual Tim Thomas effect: he's that good, in his unorthodox way!) but everything there went according to logic, really. Especially in the case of the poor Blues: acquiring a perennial loser from Buffalo, at the trade deadline, to be your top goalie throughout the crucial part of the year could only lead to major disappointment - and it sure did just that! Going up against the playoff-savvy team that is the Hawks in the very first round didn't help, granted; it all spelled out ''early exit/ignominious end to a great season'' for a franchise that will probably never find a way to hoist the Stanley Cup.
Now for what did not go ''according to plan'' - a simulated plan, yeah. Los Angeles is, like Chicago and Boston, a team that knows what life in the playoffs is like. They never quit, and they sure didn't when facing elimination against the Sharks. The simulation had San Jose ousting L.A. in six games; they could have done in 4 straight! But, instead, L.A. became the latest team to accomplish the stunning feat of rallying from an 0-3 series deficit all the way to take it in the decisive game 7... Wow. EA Sports didn't count on that one, at all. Their other major horse, Colorado, petered out, too, early: the Avs, with coach Patrick Roy, were to go almost as far as the Sharks this surprising year: they were to outlast the Minnesota Wild in a hard-fought seven-game series in their first-round match-up. However, it was Minnesota that took that, coming back four times to tie the final game before winning in overtime! Roy and EA, both, never imagined that either!
So, instead of San Jose and Colorado, the western side of things has L.A. and Anaheim still in the mix, and squaring off in round two. The other series has Chicago and the astonishingly resilient Minnesota crew. Who should be the projected Stanley Cup finalist now? I hope it's the Wild!!! A battle of the bears for the grail: that way, Boston could look to sweep while they secure Iggy's spot in history, at long last...
In the east, upsets could happen too, though: as projected, the Pitt is pitted against NY in the second round - what if Sid The Kid, somehow, leads the Pens past the Rangers there? What happens to that thrilling seventh-game overtime victory for Boston in the Eastern Finals then? Because the Bruins do have Lundquist's number now... First, however, they must regain Price's number, the guy who, somehow, did deliver on that laughable (at first it was, anyway) prediction of a first-round sweep... Tampa didn't play up to par and losing their top goalie Ben Bishop just at the onset of the playoffs was the major factor there! At blogging time, alas, we know what has transpired: Price was spared five goals (count them, five goals!!!) by the posts and the hated Habs were able to steal game one of the semi-finals, in double overtime, when the Boston Bruins were penalized at the wrongest of times and were killing a penalty, therefore, when deathly tired already... It was a game the Bruins were totally, utterly dominating otherwise; the projection of a second-round Bruins triumph in five games still stands (however, I was saying it would be Bruins in 4...! Just like on the 100th anniversary of the Canadiens; remember? Ahh - fond memories!)
No matter how it happens, it has to happen: the 2014 champion must be Boston!
Isn't a sign from fate, too, that it is software made in Vancouver that was used to predict this championship in the first place, hmm? Vancouver - where the Bruins won their previous Cup in 2011, against all odds projected at that time? Vancouver - birth place of Cam Neely and Milan Lucic! Vancouver - also the birthplace of the most famous Boston Bruins fan of all: Michael J. Fox! But we're digressing now...
It won't be against Sharks, as fantasized up there: but, be it Kings, Ducks, Hawks again or Wild bears, the Bruins can prevail in six games indeed! First off, they can make EA proud by ousting both Montreal and New York just as ''prophetised'' (though seven games shouldn't be required for the latter; much less for the former opponent!)
Go, Bruins, Go!

I followed this young mans story over the course of the past few years after I had seen him for the first time on Katie and then after I saw him give the entire New England Patriots football team an absolutely inspirational speech before a home game,he really was just a remarkable person. I want to first pass on my complete condolences to both of his parents that were so absolutely determined to try and find a way to treat and cure the decease that their son had so that they could help all of those from around the world that had it. As Sam said he truly did win out on the remarkable parents side as they did in him. So long Sam may you always stay the same age now.
