The ‘B’ stands for bright future

After watching championship contender after championship contender, the big bad Boston Bruins have been anything but — a laughing stock in the City of Champions. This season, so uninspiring until the post season, where suddenly there is reason for hope.

Suddenly the young guns who will hopefully provide a bright future showed their worth. The passion that Cam Neely had demonstrated in the executive box showed up on the ice in the form of Kessel and Lucic.

Is hockey back in Boston?

Well, a win tonight certainly would have brought the arrival of the Black and Gold back at a great rate, but now with the loss and the season ending in the first round (but let’s be honest, about three games later than most expected), we could have just witnessed the start of a fourth championship caliber team in Boston.

The ending was disappointing - but certainly encouraging as well.

No no no hockey is not back in Boston, but after this run by the B’s it now has a pulse.
