I honestly didn’t think I’d be saying this, but the Boston Bruins have won the 2011 Stanley Cup.
[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]It’s been since 1972 that the Bruins last won the cup and there’s been a lot of ups and downs since then. As a Bruins fan since that last cup win, I’ve been with the team through all of those tough times.
I think all Bruins fans are cheering for the league’s top goalie, Tim Thomas. He is undoubtedly one of the best goalies to ever play the game.
Unlike many teams in the NHL, the Bruins don’t have the major star power to fall back on or to push the team forward. Instead, the Bruins rely on a solid team effort to get the job done.
I’ve described the Bruins this year as a blue collar team — I think that description could be used for many seasons for the Bruins. It just goes to show that hard work pays off.
Congrats Bruins!
Great series! Great team! It’s been a long time coming!
Always good to see an Original Six team win the cup. Congrats to Boston!
As a Vancouver native & Canucks fan congrats to the Bruins & City of Boston. If you haven’t been paying to the news lately, the aftermath reaction in our city was quite disappointing to say the least.
As a Vancouver native I just wanna say congrats to the Bruins & City of Boston. It was one helluva series. In case you haven’t been paying attention, the resulting aftermath in our city was fairly disappointing to say the least.

And I honestly never thought I’d be reading it
(wtf ? – a hockey story at Mac News ? 😉
Well, you got my curiosity, follow link, read story, and …
Now using my brilliant inductive/deductive/conductive reasoning
Lemme guess – you a Boston’er ?

Spent a Glorious Year there, back when
(during the ‘Big One’ and Fiedler’s Last Esplanade)
Learned some about Hockey too, but not kept up
So appreciate the ‘Headline’ – Go Bruins
And now know why the Big Azz Riots in Vancouver (ha ha ha)
