Banner Night In Boston: The WORLD CHAMPION Bruins Take Center Stage

I jokingly said to myself, it would be great to have 4 of my Boston teams win championships before I'm 30. Too be honest I never thought it would happen. Sports fans wait life times to see one team win a championship let alone see all 4 teams win championships in a 6 year span. The thought is unfathomable. 

Tonight Boston adds another championship banner in our decade of dominance. It's the Bruins turn to hog the spotlight in the city of champions and its well deserved. For years Bruins fans have been loyal waiting for this moment. While the masses were descending on Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park Bruins fans were subjected to supporting underaching teams that never made it out of the first round. They were an after thought on sports radio and never the center of attention in this city. The playoff run of last year changed all that.

Now the Boston Bruins are the hottest ticket in town. Black and gold merchandise flies off the shelves. Chara is a beast, Andrew Ference is a dreamboat, Tim Thomas is a god and the team is the talk of the town. Everyone wants a piece of greatness. Who would have thought that the Bruins would have embodied greatness? We got the cup, we got the rings and tonight we get the banner.

The banner really is the final chapter to any championship season. It's the night the rest of the sports world looks at your city in envy and dreams of what that moment feels like. No dreaming for the fans of Boston tonight. From here on out, every time you look at the Boston Garden rafters you'll see "Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Champions 2011."  

What do think its like to be from a city where sports sucks? Guess we'll never have to know...
