One thing about your team never winning is you get to root for others. Two years ago the Bruins won the cup and a friend of mine and former employer was a life long Boston fan. I couldn't have been happier. He waited a long time for it, 71/72. Also bruins defenceman Adam McQuaid is a local boy. Buys his car insurance from my wife.

The last strike nearly killed the sport here, it took 4 years for it to even receive proper coverage, even now it is still lagging somewhere slightly ahead of Major league Soccer in America.
Such a great sport, it is a shame!

Equally hard on the small market teams up here. Look at Winnipeg. First year back. That's gotta hurt them. It is a shame.
