I read a great article today about the Boston Bruins and all they do for our city. If you would like to read it, here is the link: http://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2013/6/25/4461932/boston-bruins-stanley-cup-finals-year-didnt-suck-entirely-2013
I just wanted to add a few things. Everybody knows that Boston is a big sports city. We love our sports teams and our sports teams love us. We're pretty loyal; I mean, no offense to Cubs fans, but we've endured some pretty long droughts. After April 15, a lot of people knew life would never be the same again in the city. We didn't really know what to do or where to turn. And then, the Bruins started playing again. And, the city rallied around them. And we knew, that as long as the Bruins kept playing, we'd get that sense of normalcy back again. So sure, say that the Bruins exploited the event. But, the city knows they didn't. The city knows that they brought us back to a "normal" day when it seemed like there wouldn't be one. And the city knows that those men played their hearts out for us and truly showed everybody just how strong Boston is. So, thank you Bruins. Thanks for making it as far as you did. Thanks for shutting up the unruly and ungraceful fans in Toronto. Thanks for showing Lundqvist what a world class goalie looks like (Tuukka Time!!). Thanks for showing the penguins that defense is as important as offense. And thanks for showing Chicago what the heart of a hockey player looks like. We'll get 'em next season boys. For now, be proud of how you brought the city together and played your hearts out for those in need of a break.
On a side note, while swimming in the pool today, the guy in the next lane over goes, "Saw you doing one-arm swim drills. You training for something?" I think he regrets asking now because he heard all about my upcoming races. Whoops? He started it!
Fight on!
