Thank you Bruins

Dear Boston Bruins,

Thank you for a great season. No one, no one expected you to be the best team in the Eastern Conference very few expected you to make any difference in the NHL. You rarely got press coverage on the major new networks yet you kept plugging along, raking in the big numbers showing that you could play with the big boys. And to think, just 2 years ago, you were a lottery team. You've got some pretty big hardware you can still win, even though it may not be the Stanley Cup...you can still win the Coach of the Year, and best DMan of the year, not too shabby for what most experts had placed you to finish.

So yes, thank you Bruins, you had a great run, you gave and have given a lot of hope to your diehard fans who bleed black and gold. So hold your heads up high, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of. We love you guys. Thank you so much for everything and I/we here at Bruins nation look forward to the years to come.

Signed

Dan S.

Animal Lover

Well, last night I truly realized how much of an animal lover I am. Last night, around 10pm on my way home, I noticed a possum crossing the roadway right in front of me. I slowed down as much as I could and thinking that it had made it, I felt a ba-bump. I can't tell you how much it's bothered me since then, the whole way home I was actually in a funk. I know it's a rodent but I can't help but think that I hurt some possum's mom or dad or brother or sister. I kinda want to go back to where it occurred to see that maybe he/she is okay and isn't there anymore.

UPDATE: Just a little update, actually went back yesterday and looks like he may have scurried off afterwards cuz there was no roadkill. Definitely made me feel a lil better :)
