When the Bruins won the Stanley Cup about 20 years ago in June of 2011 didn't it seem like 3 months of just pure happiness and sunny days followed? If there was a happy pill this was it?
Sure Boston lost Kaberle and Ryder but everyone else was here and life at least as a Bruins fan seemed grand.
I know Chicago has 3 Cups but its like a scene from the Sting. As soon as its over a crew comes in and dismantles the set.
First year it was Byfuglien and Ladd and others gone....in 2013 a few more, but this year to see Brandon Saad go and others it would be depressing to me.
I guess I want my cake and eat it too and that's what the 2011 Cup felt like. It was the Summer of Feel Good tour.
You think back as a kid to a great summer where every day was sunny and happy and life was good and it never rained or was cloudy and you were never unhappy in your mind- even though you know that's not true. That is how 2011 felt many, many years ago when we were all much younger....or so it seemed
I still have the recent Sports Illustrated with the Black Hawks on the cover as a current day dynasty- not far last night from an open page on HF Boards Chicago board with a good sized thread wanting the GM fired.
wow times infinity
Three is better than one but that one sure seemed like 100 days of the best of life had to offer
I surely want another Cup here but I hope its a heck of a lot closer to what Boston had than what Chicago did....I bash Chiarelli with the best of them but I am very thankful guys weren't having their day with the Cup as Columbus Blue Jackets or Atlanta Thrashers
kudos to Chiarelli for that alone
