Well, my nerves are shot. How about the rest of you? I know of at least a couple of pro sports teams over the years who had a lot of nail-biter games who came to be dubbed the Cardiac Kids. This team has not received that tag that I've heard, but it's that kind of team, with all these overtime games and wins by one-goal margins.

With the Sox in '04, as frazzled as my nerves were after the LCS, I was really glad they just went ahead and got it over with and swept the WS. I wasn't sure my nerves could take a tight, tense series. Well, these Bruins have kept the tension would up right to the end. I'm glad they won, but I'm also kind of glad it's over. I'm spent (in a good way, though).

Congratulations to the Bruins, and thanks for an amazing, exciting run.

As a Canadian, I expected this thread would be twenty pages long!

Congrats, Bruins!

Congrats from Caniac nation! It's good to see Seidenberg get his hands on the Cup; I always liked him here, but it looks like he's doing much better with Chara than he ever did in Carolina. Also nice to see Rex go out on top.

I'm happy for Thomas, too. Nothing has ever been given to this guy, and it's nice to see him get to this point by virtue of his hard work and character. And now that Horton doesn't play for Florida anymore, I've actually come to like the way he plays. After spending all those years in hockey hell, it looks like he's found a good fit in Boston and he deserves every bit of praise he gets.

Full disclosure: I'm a little biased because I've been pulling for the B's ever since Tampa knocked us out on the last day of the season. I couldn't help it - Boston is at the top of my list for places to relocate and they kept playing teams I didn't like! I guess I didn't really have anything against Vancouver when the series started, but it didn't take long for them to change that.

Anyway, I digress. Good job, guys.

Meh, I lived in Boston in 2005. This is REALLY bandwagon and insincere this sudden "love", I was at games when they had 10K people and they all were Habs or Rangers fans.

The Celtics 2008 was still a bigger deal, and the Celtics still are more popular.
Only in Boston can you win the title and still be number 4.

Default City of Champions

While it's not the same calendar decade in which the other teams have won their recent titles, it has been less than ten years since the Patriots' first championship. I've been running through this in my head, not done any careful research, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe that this is the first time ever that one city has had champions in all four sports within a span of ten years. The number of championships a city's teams have won in recent years can lead to the City of Champions claim, but here's a claim to that title which (assuming my off-the-cuff recall of sports history is correct) Boston holds all alone.

Congratulations to Boston !! I remember the Bruins winning the cup in 1970 before moving from there to Florida. I think it was 29 years since the last time back then, now 39 years this time...

I agree the Bs have many fairweather and bandwagon fans. To be honest, I think hockey in general is that way everywhere I've lived. Still, there arent more dedicated fans then the core group of diehards this team has. They'll enjoy this more then anyone
