2 Yay! Now I get to deal with millions of drunken assholes coming in to trash the city all day to watch a few duckboats carry the team for all of 15 minutes. Wooohoo!

5 F the Bruins. Hockey sucks! Why are they playing a sport on ice in the damn summer. Oh yeah, F Boston and all of New England while you're at it.

7 4 Canucks are sore losers..................

I thought the booing during the presentation of the cup perfectly illustrated the classlessness of their fans throughout the series. The rioting in their home town was even worse.

Can't say I was too happy about the 'fan' behavior around North Station last night either. -The police tolerate and allow waaaay too much shit get out of hand.

8 Love the Bruins. All four of my pro teams have won National Championships within the last decade, as has my favorite college basketball team. Top of the sports world.

I didn't think any city in Canada could show up as being more Detroit than Detroit, but after last night Vancouver is looking like Detroit without all the Chrysler or Eminem promotion.

Gotta wonder what that city is gonna look like after next Halloween....

You know how much I hate Boston sporting teams?

So much that I was rooting for the Canadians to win.

That's bad.

19 For any hockey fan - here's a rockabilly-ish version of the B's theme song played over incredible Bobby Orr highlights. I watch this at least 3-4 times a year, and Orr was out of the league before I was born: http://tinyurl.com/cbnuho

21 When the Hurricanes (my former hometown Hartford WHALERS!) won the cup, everybody was very excited. Then they stopped for ice cream and went to bed early, because everyone had early meetings in the RTP the next day.

27 BFiB... they were booing Gary Bettman, like has happened every year the douche has been commissioner. They didn't start booing players until Marchand, who is my favorite.

And I'll take your bet that I couldn't name a player up until I started watching the game. This is a hockey household. Bruins or Rangers are on the tube first (Elizabeth is the Ranger fan) and then we watch whatever is on, unless it's some derp douchefest like the Wild versus the Coyotes. And even then we'd still watch it just so we can laugh.

Oh, and me, Elizabeth and Lily will be at the parade on Saturday. We'll try not to ruin your existence by enjoying our team's success. We'll just sit there quietly, and scold those that talk too loud, or attempt to move or wave or anything.

Douche.

93 Boston, and by extension Massachusetts, continues to prove the superiority of the left-wing liberal mindset. The GM's of our sports teams are smarter than yours, our healthcare system is smarter and better than yours, our high taxes are a boon to our highly-educated population, and our Congressmen (except for that interloper Scott Brown) are great leaders. So, nyah nyah nyah. And hey, we're not Cleveland.
