[FearTheBear]

New to HF, happy to be in an online community of true fans, with knowledge of the game. I'm the only true Bruins fan in my group of freinds, so I am the odd man out when it comes to sports talk. Most of them are arrogant when it comes to hockey & the Bruins and would rather talk about the Red Sox or Celtics.
I am looking forward to posting and talking about the B's with my fellow Bruins fans.

Fav Beer: Bass Ale on tap

Fav Bruin moment/how I became a fan: I was at the game where Stan Jonathan destroyed Pierre Bouchard, fourth game of the 78 Finals, it was actually the greatest game I've ever seen and not because of that fight - it was the game Schmautzie scored under a sprawling Larry Robinson, beating Dryden to win it in OT. I grew up on the south shore playing youth hockey, played in H.S. too, and followed the Bs, NHL, as well as local college hockey.

How long I have been a B's fan: I know this is a very bandwagonish time to be registering, but I've been lurking on these boards for a few years now and have been a Bruins fan for much longer. We've had season tickets in my family since the mid-70s. I'm old enough to have seen the Cup, in person, carried on Garden Ice. Unfortunately, on both occasions it was being held by Yvan Cournoyer! Maybe this is the year! (But I've learned to keep my hopes in check... even when we're up 2-0 on the Flyers...especially then.)
