Detroit went from hockey town to empty seats on tv in a few years after they started losing the Bruins have at least stayed consistent in attendance after tradeing away future all stars for little in return
Agree with this. I don't care what any out of towner has to say or any of the hacks that "write" articles in newspapers. I have zero time or interest in "talk" radio that is loaded with Patriot fan boys.
One thing I WILL take to the grave, the BRUINS have the most loyal legit fan base PERIOD. It's in our blood and its in the fabric of the City.
The levels of participation in Hockey at the grassroot levels in Boston and beyond in NE are off the chart. Not football Not baseball not basketball. Not disrespect to soccer.
It's to easy to say your a Pats fan. Hell I have relatives that will wear a Pats t-shirt and have parties that couldn't name 6 players on the team. Red Sox are an Advertising, tourist destination product that's owned by a group that keeps buying up precious gems for the soul reason of greed and control of the politicians in the city.
Being part of the busing crisis in the 70 I don't like to be lectured from out of towner and even people that claim they are from "Boston" but are not on what our city is in regards to racism. John Henry STFU and go away.
Basketball is just not my thing and I don't know many people I grew up with and still talk to that are either. Sure there is buzz when trader Dan adds a big name and sells some jerseys and the media follows like puppy dogs.
I know I'm all over the place with this sorry those my feeling this morning
