Well the Hockey Lords reached down from the heavens - apparently having been told by the football, baseball, and basketball lords that Boston fans are decent enough people - and deemed the Bruins champions of the NHL Universe.
The law of unintended consequences to this event was additional bragging rights for Boston when it comes to shortest time for the Big Four* championships (seven years) and massive rioting in Vancouver.
Wait. What? Massive rioting in Vancouver?
Yep, the neighbors to the north (west) mostly known for beautiful views, cold winters and a love of sports such as curling set the neighborhood on fire after losing the games. It cannot be unexpected though since Vancouver expressed the same type of sore losing skills after a 1994 Stanley Cup loss.
I am sure it was just a few bad canucks who got out of control. Boston fans express similar sentiments in that we're all not totally disreputable, arrogant, over entitled, pink hat wearing fans. For instance, I do not wear a pink hat.
It is a shame that people will remember the city of Vancouver for this and maybe the hockey lords did see that after the Boston victories we don't light the city on fire and riot. Maybe THAT is why we were rewarded.
