Honestly to me the fact that I see so much "Even though I hate the Bruins..." or "Despite our rivalry..." type stuff going on is so bizarre to me... Not trying to be down on people that just shouldn't even need to be said, I think its a bit nuts to even include anything like that when something like this happens. It'd be completely insane to let a sport, no matter how much I and we all love it, have a semblance of any influence on how we react to this stuff and how we react to people in the wake of something so shocking and unfortunate. I guess I get that its a hockey board but I saw some posts that made me shake my head when they had to be prefaced with something that sounds like "It pains me to sympathize with you guys but in this case I do" when there should be no need to preface a message of sympathy and of well wishing and support in any way in my opinion.
Anyway, after typing this I don't know if it sounds negative or critical and I hope it doesn't because far be it for me to want to bring negativity to a show of mutual support but I just wanted to get this off my chest a bit and hopefully my message gets across how I'd like it too!
Of course, if not clear, my heart goes out to everyone affected, and the city of Boston. I really hope things get back to normal there and they figure out who did this and why and I know the city will recover and maybe in some way be stronger for this.
