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!

Boston wins the "Best place to live as a sportsfan" award!

 As 2010 comes to a close and we open a new chapter, it never hurts to look back at the year before looking towards the future. While it would take me hours to go over the details of every accomplishment by the 2010 Boston teams, let us quickly glance over them one by one.

 The Boston Celtics managed to get themselves into a 7 game NBA finals series vs the LA Lakers in June of 2010 and by Dec 31st had the best record in the NBA heading towards the 2011 NBA playoffs. The Boston Bruins suffered a crushing blow after leading the 2nd round playoff series 3 games to 0 over the Philadelphia Flyers and were handed an early exit card by losing 4 straight games. While most sports fans would ignore the team the following season the Bruins fans were counting the minutes until puck drop of opening day as a fresh faced youngster by the name of Tyler Seguin was in the starting lineup, courtesy of the Toronto Maple Leafs 1st round "Draft Pick". Thank you very much Phil Kessel.
 The Boston Red Sox were out played by their Division rivals New York Yankees & Tampa Bay Rays who both stole the last 2 playoff spots of the 2010 season. Instead of crying over spilled milk, the Boston Red Sox front office went out and acquired the 2 biggest names in the free agent market during the off season. With the addition of Carl Crawford  & Adrian Gonzales Red Sox fans are once again counting down the days until spring training.
  Not to be out done, the New England Patriots go out and have themselves a 14-2 season, set every record that they had not yet set the past decade, and become the odds on favorites BY FAR to win the Superbowl.
 I would say with the 2010 accomplishments of the Boston Sports Teams and the standing on January 3rd of 2011, Boston wins my award of the Best Place To Live As A Sports Fan!

Bruins get a much needed 3-1 win in Florida

  On the brink of a 3 game losing steak and already down a goal, the Boston Bruins rallied back with 3 goals in a row to make their record an even 2-0 against the Florida Panthers this season. With the Montreal Canadiens continuing to play well and the Boston Bruins suffering a tough overtime loss to the Kings on Saturday and an even tougher loss to the Lightning on Monday, the B's needed a win. Down 1-0 heading into the 3rd, the Bruins needed one man to step up, they got two. Brad Marchand hustled and was able to slip a goal in the net in the first minute of the 3rd period which seemed to awaken the sleeping Bruins and tie the game up. After that, Sir Recchi took over. Marc Recchi not only scored the 2 goals to give the Bruins the lead and the much needed cushion, but also surpassed a milestone to the delight of all his teammates. With his second goal of the night, Recchi became the 13th player all time with 1500 points recorded in their career. The 42 year old Recchi is 1 of 11 players to have played in the NHL in four decades. The Boston Bruins still trail the Montreal Canadiens for the division lead but now face the Carolina Hurricanes at home in TD Garden in less then 36 hours. Come see all the action live and in person.

Does alcohol help you blog

 ** Warning: I do not promote underage drinking, its illegal so don't do it! I am assuming that anyone who wants to have an alcoholic beverage after reading this is of the legal age to do so" **

 As my 12 hour work day winds down and I sit here staring at my wall I'm at a loss for words what I can possibly blog about. Perhaps its the fact that I slept 4 hours last night, or perhaps its the 80 hour work week finally catching up to me. As great as this seasons Bruins & Celtics run is and as awaited as this Sundays Patriots vs Colts match up is I am just simply burnt out on sports for the week. While debating which sports team to devote Friday nights blog to I came to another debate which in return solved my blogging woes.
 Friday nights are usually a time to unwind from the week of stress. People choose to unwind in different ways, my choice has always been alcohol. Not obsessive amounts like some peoples college days but just a drink or two to simply relax and enjoy the night. As I hastily uncorked the oldest bottle of pinot and reached for the glass, it suddenly hit me I have a blog due. Boston fans are a fun bunch, especially when their teams are winning and boy are we winning. The Bruins are only 2 points away from the Division lead, The Celtics have the best record in the Eastern Conference and even the Patriots are tied for first place with the Jets in their division. So there was my conundrum, do I drink or do I write? I chose both, but in a sophisticated mature way, I chose to write about drinking.
  With a full glass in my hand, and very little desire to research scores, standings or .. well .. facts, I decided to write about the pros and cons of drinking and blogging. Lets start with the pros. For years I have heard AND seen that alcohol tends to loosen people up. It inhibits most peoples "reserved" demeanor and tends to bring them out of their turtle like shell. When it comes to writing that seems like a huge pro to me. Who wants to read a boring unenthusiastic statistic filled blog on a Friday night? Especially since most people in Boston will get a chance to read that type of writing in the Boston Globe's sports section tomorrow morning. People want to be entertained, and as I stare at my now empty glass of wine I realize I am up to the task.
 Back with another full glass I'm ready for more pros. Since my alcohol of choice is wine, the next pro is an easy one. Research over the years has indicated that moderate intake of alcohol improves cardiovascular health, and we all know how important a healthy heart is. The healthier I am, the longer I will live which in exchange equal more time to blogging. Man if I keep this up I might not ever blog sober again. As I sip my 2nd glass another thing comes to mind. Alcohol is a stimulant, blogging is a task for my "profession". Professionals have been using so called stimulants for ages to increase performance. Look at steroids in Baseball, Human Growth Hormone in Football, Viagra in pornography and the list goes on. Professionals always seem to perform better with the use of "performance enhancing" stimulants. I see no difference between me using a "stimulant" to increase performance & Barry Bonds using a "stimulant" to break the home run record.
  Finishing my second glass I have come to realize that as strong as the pros are the one con far outweighs all the pros. I am now officially sleepy. Maybe red wine was not the best choice for this experiment especially when the previous night consisted of 4 hours of sleep. Blogging is all about entertaining and being entertained. I have certainly entertained myself writing this, I sure hope I have entertained the person reading this.
