2021: Round One

 

so... it has begun! 

and one must say... it is going grrrrrreat! 

55, actually ~ and counting! 

(the only other notable difference between the two goals 

being that Orr's sealed a conquest of the Cup 

-against the slithery St-Louis Blues- 

while Marchand's goal merely tied the first round 

series with cantankerous Crapitals...)

BERGY would get the clinching GOALS:

...which would lead to this touching moment: 

The new captain - with our former captain. 

The passing of the torch is official, now. 

Bye Bye team of crapital jerks 

(Orlov, Wilson, Hathaway... OVIE!) 

The resemblance is uncanny - indeed! 

Comparing the two captains 

told you everything you needed to know 

about who deserved it more; 

verily, it was like comparing 

JESUS to BARABBAS... 

AQUAMAN to a SUB-MARINER... 

Ty Berius to ILL-Eagle!!! 

(nice collage(s) by one Scott MacMillan, by the way; 

he adorned a Facebook group with them 

- a group that is chock-full of characters, 

as it is... And here are just a few...!)

Bidie...

Mary...

Rusty...?

AND, IN A COUPLE OF SEASONS NOW 

PLAYED UNDER THIS SPECIAL PROTOCOL 

AMIDST ALL THAT IS GOING ON... 

Every little triumph is amplified; 

individual achievements could have been 

more than enough... 

BUT IT IS A TEAM SPORT: 

AND WE WANT THE CUP! 

THREE.

MORE.

ROUNDS.

#BostonChampion

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! 

The Reality

October 2019...

THE REAL STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS 

defeated the false chumps 

DECISIVELY... 

This is what happens in Game 7 

-NORMALLY- 

if the Bruins are at their best; 

Wagner is not out, 

with a BROKEN ARM... 

Pastrnak is not playing hurt... 

Bergeron is not banged up... 

Marchand is 100%... 

Chara is not injured... 

ETC... ETC... ETC. 

They Can Dream

All their dreams are justified and more than plausible; 

because these Bruins have proven that they are 

A TRUE TEAM --- and true championship 

material. Like the Red Sox. Like the Patriots! 

(Like the Celtics, too - per their tradition 

and with the coming of Kemba Walker 

and departure of Kyrie Irving! 

But that's another story...!) 

THIS... IS ABOUT THE BRUINS! 

AND THEIR FUTURE IS BRIGHT --- 

SO BRIGHT... IT IS LUMINOUS!!!
