BOSTON, MA – You’re seeing it correctly ladies and gentleman. That there is the new Zamboni honoring the Bruins exceptional win of the Stanley Cup over the Vancouver Canucks. You may even see this bad sally in the rolling rally that’s hitting Boston’s streets at 11 AM on Saturday starting at the Garden and making its way to Copley Square.
This is a moment that Bruins fans, and the city, have been waiting for for years. The diehards know that is has been 39 years but the influx of “new fans” can barely claim to have been waiting as long. I use the term “new fans” as opposed to pink hats because in this case it does truly appear to be new fans that aren’t pretending to know everything about the team, and were just fans, a far stretch from the Pink Hats over at Fenway Park!
You may be wondering why I didn’t do any updates throughout the series and to be honest with you, I was to invested in the series to even write about it. I was never a Bruins fan when I was growing up but a few years ago Toucher and Rich came to Boston and made Hockey relevant again to the city, and to me. Hockey is an incredibly easy sport to love to watch. It is fast paced, requires tremendous skill, and the hard hits keep things interesting. I found myself spending some of the off nights of the series re-watching some of the previous games and being my own analyst, trying to find out how the team could improve. Clearly they did not need my help! Whether it was Horton going down or not that sparked this team to victory we’re not quite sure, but they won, and won in style.
Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait another 39 years!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOSTON BRUINS!
