Here's another tidbit that has slipped under our noses ever so unexpectedly. After narrowly making the playoffs in 2008 and losing in an exciting and valiantly played series with Montreal (Boston's most hated rival and hockey's reigning dynasty) -- the Bruins have quietly gone 19-4-4 -- the best record in the Eastern conference and second in the NHL only to the San Jose Sharks. (Yes, I know hockey has changed a lot since the 1970s Stanley Cup Championship team!)
Yes, Boston's erstwhile two most reliable teams to make the playoffs are ramping it up again!
"It's the Broons and the Celts in 2009!"
Yet always the eternal pessimists, Boston fans are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And one can not help counting the "if onlys." An "ought've" tackle in the fourth quarter of the Superbowl, one more win against Tampa Bay in the ALCS, a healthy Brady in 2008 ... and what could be?
But is the Golden Era of Boston Sports over? No, not by a long shot!
