The situation is quite different for the elite teams than for the crappy teams. Fortunately, all of my pro teams have won more than one title.
And once the Bruins win this year, I can add "and at least one in my lifetime."
I didn't know you were such a youngster, Brendan. If your a hockey fan it's too bad you missed the Orr Espo years. This city was a magical Black and Gold town in those days.
No one and I mean NO ONE has been a bigger sports star in this town since Orr. Neither Bird, Yaz, Roger, Pedro, Neely, Pierce, KG, nor Brady have ever gotten to the celebrity point that Orr did in this town during those '69-'74 years.
He owned this town as did all the Bruins. They were sports stars rolled into movie stars rolled into rock stars they way they were treated in Boston and dominated the sports pages. There wasn't a kid within 100 miles of the Garden that didn't play street hockey in those days and it was as common to own hockey gloves as it was a baseball glove in those days.
Ahh youth.
Sorry for the thread hijack....won't happen again.
