Bruins deserve your attention

Apr 22nd, 2008 by Bill Burt

The sight of Cam Neely, double high-fiving general manager Peter Chiarelli after Game 5 overtime in Montreal spoke volumes of the pent up anger and frustration Bruins fans have felt for too long.
Well, it’s officially over with last night’s 5-0 Game 7 loss, but admit it, they pulled you in.
I’m not sure if the Bruins are back, but I hope they are. I was born and bred on Bruins hockey as a boy — I was 8 when Bobby Orr flew through the air.
The hitting and the pace is unlike anything else.
There is a still a lot of work ahead. They need guys like Phil Kessel and Patrice Bergeron to be great, not just good.
They need to continue what they started.
Are the Bruins back? Not yet. But they going in the right direction.
Did you enjoy the brief ride? Let me know.

    I have been following the Bruins all season long. Back in December I actually started to believe in these guys. I like the youth movement. Considering the amount of injuries they went through this year and to go 7-games in the 1st round against Montreal. You have to give the guys credit. Remember they went 7-games without one of their top scorers (Kobasew). During the stretch run they were without Chara, Savard, Ward and Kobasew at various times. They could have easily been a 4-6 seed and possibly be playing in the 2nd round. They have cap room and Chiarelli has made some nice moves (except for the first year coaching blunder) and I think he will execute a game plan over the summer. Looking forward to October again.

    Good Job B’s

    That the Bruins took it to a Game Seven after the blowout in Game One was encouraging; they have to ride that momentum in 2008-9 and take it a lot farther in the playoffs.

    I’m also enjoying the Providence Bruins and their run for another Calder Cup – they needed three OT games and a game scoreless until three minutes left to sweep the Manchester Monarchs, but so far they’ve made a laugher out of the series with the Portland Pirates, winning the first two games by a combined score of 11-1.
