Josh Q. Public:Don’t you forget about me. Don’t don’t don’t don’t. Don’t you forget about me. -Simple Minds
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! The Big Bad Bruins. Everybody knows about the Boston Red Sox. Everybody glows about the New England Patriots. Everybody crows about the Boston Celtics. What about the Bruins? How come nobody’s talking about them? What we’ve got here is… a failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. Well, I’m here to reach you. I’m here to teach you. I’me here to preach to you. I’m here to preach to you about the Boston Bruins. Can I get an amen? The Boston Bruins just came into the month of March like lion. The Boston Bruins just came roaring into the month of March with six straight wins. The Boston Bruins just picked up points in eight consecutive games. The Boston Bruins are in a tie for sixth place with the New York Rangers. Who woulda thunk? Who woulda thunk the Bruins would now just be four points behind the conference leading New Jersey Devils. Don’t mess with the Devils, buddy. The Devils! Haaaa! Well, you gotta support your team. I support my team. I support the Bruins. The Big Bad Bruins. The Big Bad Bruins have surged to the six seed in the Prince of Wales Conference. The Big Bad Bruins have a real shot at fourth and home ice in the first round. All without Patrice Bergeron. All without Manny Fernandez. Goodness! The Bruins have been doing it with Phil Kessel. King of the shootout. The Bruins have been doing with Marc Savard, the most underrated player in the league. Underrated with a league leading fifty-nine assists. Joe Thornton who? The Bruins have been doing it with goalie Tim Thomas. Second in all of hockey in save percentage. The Bruins have been doing it with the kids. With Milan Lucic. The next Terry O’Rielly. With David Krejci. Krejci’s extended his goal-scoring streak to three consecutive games.They’ve been doing with the big man. The big man, Zdeno Chara. All six foot nine of him. All six foot nine of him scoring fifteen goals. All six foot nine of him dishing out thirty assists. All six foot nine of him maintaining a plus-10 while averaging 27:05 in ice time. He’s all man. He’s the biggest of the big. The baddest of the bad. The heart of these Big Bad Bruins. These playoff bound Big Bad Bruins. Bound for glory. Boston’s other team. Now you know!
