Is the Stanley Cup hangover for real?

  While most fans kept their fingers crossed about the Bruins this season not falling into the Stanley Cup hangover trap, the reality is that no team has won back to back championships in 13 years. The Detroit Red Wings, who seem to be the powerhouse the past two decades in the NHL were the last one to accomplish it. The 2010 Bruins came strong out of the gate putting up a 6-2 record in the first 8 games. The 2011 Bruins... well.. they are 3-5 in the first 8 games. True Nathan Horton was a scoring beast in the early stages of last season, but one can't help wonder if the 200% win differential is simply due to the fact that the Stanley Cup champions have a much shorter off season. Less time for body's to heal, less time to simply have your mind away from the sport.
  The demand for tickets this season has surpassed any season in the past 20 years. The Boston fan base is finally all about the Bruins. Lets hope the team turns it around, fast!
