Amazing game and amazing streak while beating some great teams. B's just shut down the Crosby line and their penalty killing was phenomenal.
They have beaten Toronto 3 times, Pittsburgh, and Edmonton when they were playing so well during the streak and only lost to Detroit in a shootout. They've also won their last 6 road games.
And yet the amount of play they are getting in the local media(sports radio, sports blogs, newspapers) and the lack of play the NHL and their best team get in general is shocking.
But hockey comes in fourth as a sport in Boston. The Pats are in full swing and having another great season. The Sox are a year long news maker and their horrid last month of the season, the revelations of what caused it, the departure of Tito and Theo, and the hiring of Valentine and Cherrington have been all over the national media over the last month, never mind the local media. And the NBA lockout has just ended and ABC, TNT and ESPN will be hyping that to the hilt.
Too bad because this B's team is one of the best sports stories locally since the Pats emergence from afterthought to dynasty.
