Boston Bruins vs. Vancouver Canucks

It is well documented that I am a sports fan. It is even more well documented that I am a huge Boston sports fan. So, you can imagine the excitement when Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals ended at around 11pm.

The Boston Bruins entered the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1992. After the last couple of years of heartache, Boston finally made it in. Now, for the first time since 1990, they are going to play for a Stanley Cup.

Last challenge? The Vancouver Canucks. The Bruins have been pretty much been put down the entire playoffs. They have been written off as the weaker team, the crappiest power play, mainly a defensive team. Yet, here we are, watching the Black and Gold going into the Stanley Cup.

All the experts are stating that Vancouver is a better team. They have a strong power play which they took advantage of against the Sharks. The experts are now going to say that Vancouver is going to do the same against the Bruins. But, Boston fans always have that one thing that makes it worth watching: Hope.

We all believe that our team will win. That's what got Red Sox fans through 86 years of pain. Bruins have only almost 40 years of pain to deal with, but it is still pain. Every other Boston team has won a championship since the Bruins won a cup, now it is their chance to finally bring home a championship to Boston. Just four more games and the Boston Bruins have a championship.

Can't wait for the series to begin. Hopefully Boston sees another championship this year.
