Yeah I hate the Boston teams but I have to give props to Boston. They have been kicking some major butt in all four sports over the past several years. Boston is definitely the king of sports right now.

everyone from outside of N.E. would not believe the insanity that is Bruins merchandise right now I went out after work to see if I could get a champs shirt or hat for me and a couple friends I have in Florida. People are lined up around the block at some places for the stuff sold out all over the place, it is crazy. I am gonna go out tomorrow morning when people are working and see if I can find some stuff to buy.

hey its all in good spirits. i was truly mesmerized with Bostons hockey skills. i remember even before the finals started saying "this is gonna be a tough one".

BTW Dave not sure if you knew but when the riots kicked off over here Mark had to fend off some of the rioters who were trying to loot his store. he also got his car totaled.

once again big kudos to boston.

Wow,that's awful Adrian. I hope he didn't get injured. During my dealings with Marc he seemed like such a gentleman. If you talk to him give him my regards and I hope he did't get hurt or have too much property damage besides his car. I was actually thinking of Marc the other night and wondering if his shop was near the trouble.

I hope they catch the bas......ds and string them up by the balls !

Thanks but it has a wait time of 3 weeks. I'm not that patient.

On a side note my wife can get me the black hat but I think it'll be too hot for the summer.

My son has his #33 Chara jersey he bought at the Bruins pro shop before game 4 and he hasn't taken it off since.
Lots of people wearing Bruins stuff around town the last couple days.

I'm headed to a favorite pub in Southie to meet some friend and watch the parade. Why stand with millions when you can sit in air-conditioned comfort with beverages and friends.

Congrats to the Bruin's nation from a diehard Redwings fan.

Just a great SC final series and a very impressive way to close it out. Game 7 on the road and a shutout - wow... very well done.

Also nice to see Tim Thomas get his due - local boy (Flint, MI) done well. He really handled himself very well through all of the Luongo nonsense. The numbers speak for themselves!

Enjoy the summer with Lord Stanley Boston - nothing beats it. But get ready... Detroit's gonna come after it again next fall

yeah hes ok. i called him the next day to offer my clean up services if he needed it. he was very fortunate to just have a window broken. looks like the damages to the car and his shop will be insurance covered.

as for charges being laid, looks like facebook and other social media outlets have been helping the police identify quite a few of these idiots. heres to hoping they get the book thrown at them.

i will let him know that you asked about him and sent good wishes.

There's a lot of talk around Crosby's hometown that he is done. And even if he attempts a comeback he's one hit away from retirement.

That's really good you offered to help with the cleanup,If I was there I would have offered Marc some help also.
That's good only glass broken and no injuries,I been following it on the news and others weren't so lucky.There were lots of hero's that tried to stop them that should be recognized.
