WRIST SHOTS: LET'S CELEBRATE THE BRUINS DEMISE
Nothing could bring me out of blogretirement faster than an epic choke.
Even though I can't root for the Flyers, how hilarious and Schadenfreudetastic was the Boston Bruins complete collapse in their 2010 Stanley Cup playoff series with the Flyers? Was it the worst collapse in history? Being up 3 games to none, and then up 3 goals to 0 in Game 7 at home, I'd have to say yes (even though Yankee fans might disagree). And it couldn't happen to a nicer fanbase, as Boston "fans" are so quick to gloat about their "achievements", and also throw their teams under the bus.

Awesome! Way to stick with your boys through thick and thin, even when they don't win a championship every damn year! This one is also priceless:

Fire them all. Chiarelli for not making a trade at the deadline, Julien for not keeping them motivated, and most of all CHARA FOR NOT KNOWING THE MEANING OF BEING A CAPTAIN AND LEADER
You KNOW he'd be saying "Chara is WICKED AHHHSOME GO B'S" if they hadn't blown this series. These are also pretty sweet.

They will never get the fans back after this.
They simply blew it. Big time.
Just when fans were losing interest in the other Boston teams, the Bruins failed to take advantage of the support.
I love how the Red Sox are one game under .500 and 8 games out in mid-May and fans are already "losing interest". F*cking spoiled fairweather fans. (I'm pretty sure the Yanks were 5 games back of Boston late last June--and we know how that turned out.)

And I guarantee they just started mentioning the Bruins again when they made the playoffs again in 2007! Blaming the media is a classic tactic too:

Thanks also to the never-ending jinxes of the Boston Sports Media who seemed to think the B's had won the series at 3-0. Nothing like giving the opponents some bulletin board fodder, guys.

I would like to personally thank Jack Edwards for constantly bringing up the 3-0 in the Series and in the Game references... as usual, the random BS statistic crap he comes up with comes back to bite us in the butt.
THANK YOU JACK
The Boston sports jinx! But this is the topper:

Send a clear message to all pro sports teams: don't buy anything from them until they prove that they're sincere about winning.
Tough economy. Save the money. Watch Hockey East instead.
There's no other way. The B's have to be dismantled piece by piece if they're ever going to win us back.
They don't deserve us.
The classic Boston "WE AHHH THE BEST FANS EVAHHH AND THEY DON'T EVEN DESERVE AW-AH SCAAAHN!"
Stay bitter, Boston "fans"!
