As a Patriots, Celtics and Red Sox fan as well, I’ve seen a lot of championships over the past decade. And while there’s nothing quite like the first championship, or the one that ends 86 years of misery, this championship might just top everything, at least for me. I’ll be honest—I’m attached to very few [...]

You’re still soaking it in, I guess. I know I am. It’s been 39 years. And after all the suffering, the horrible seasons, the disappointing playoff losses…it’s too surreal to really register. I haven’t posted lately because I’ve been caught up in the Stanley Cup tumble of things—eat, sleep, stress, watch the Bruins. Now that [...]

I’m not the biggest sports guy, but even I can appreciate how cool it is that for the first time since 1972, the Bruins are bringing the Stanley Cup home to Boston. So last night I hopped on my moped (conveniently colored black and yellow) and cruised into the city to watch the game, but [...]

11 seconds into overtime. The Canucks have an odd-man rush—it’s Alex Burrows on a breakaway. He takes the puck wide, drawing Bruins’ goalkeeper Tim Thomas out of his net. Thomas never recovered, and Burrows managed to maneuver the puck into the net to win the game and put the Canucks up 2-0 in the series. [...]

Clocks ticked toward zero. The TD Garden erupted and confetti rained down from above, decorating an elated Boston team and a dejected Tampa Bay team. And as Bruins captain Zdeno Chara refused to touch the Prince of Whales Trophy, a collective sense of hope simmered through those Bruins fans celebrating deliriously. 21 years. Nathan Horton. [...]

After watching the Bruins give up four straight goals to lose a 3-0 lead and the game, I wondered what to write about. I was going to write about Patrice Bergeron and his impact on the Bruins, but then I came across an article talking about Thrashers fans tailgating outside Phillips Arena for one last [...]

Bruins fans everywhere were holding their breath throughout game four. I was one of them, convinced the Bruins would follow last year’s epic meltdown. But the Bruins stayed alive, getting stellar contributions by Tim Thomas (as always) and Milan Lucic, who finally netted his first goal of the playoffs. Things were close at first, but [...]

There are shirts around Boston that say “Lucic Fight Club,” complete with fake blood spatters on the design. I’m not entirely sure how the shirt came into being, but it always makes me remember that one fight Lucic had, where he broke is nose. It was a huge fight, and a huge moment. I started [...]

I know it’s the second-best time of the year (the first, of course, being the NFL playoffs) but as a Devils fan, it just doesn’t seem like the playoffs without them in it. It’s bad enough that I’m actually jealous of my friends who get to watch their teams suffer in the playoffs. Yeah it’s [...]

By Paul First, a little intro. My name is Paul Kresge. I’m originally from New Hampshire–redneck by association, I suppose. I plan on spending next semester in Los Angeles for the BU internship program, after which I will graduate and be forced to actually figure out my life. My interests include sports, comedy, and maintaining [...]
