Poor Bastards Of The Moment: The Boston Bruins

Haven't done this feature yet this year. And even though this happened on Friday, this is epic enough for me to get around to doing this now.

This year's Boston Bruins become the third hockey team, and the fourth pro club in the history of North American sport, to have a 3-games-to-none lead in their best-of-seven-game series and lose it. Worse than that, in Friday's Game 7, they actually held a 3-0 lead in the first period of the game ... only to piss it all away. Worst of all, the game-winning goal happened on a Philadelphia Flyers power play after the Bruins were called for having too many men on the ice. A penalty for such a basic thing as a shift change results in a complete flameout to their season. Probably the worst ending to a season in that franchise's season.

Poor bastards.
