New Year's Day I went to the Leafs Game with my brother, hoping, and actually expecting, to see my beloved Bruins anihilate the Leafs. I must say I love hockey but during regular season I really don't watch many, if any, games on TV and I knew the Bruins were doing terrible this year but I also knew Toronto was doing worse and Boston has a great record against them. Well, lets just say it was extremely embarassing to be a Bruins fan that night. They lost 5-1 and made the Leafs look great! I should know better, I think I'm bad luck for the Bruins, looking back I think they always lose when I go to see them.
Tom was also kind enough to remind me of a game we went to years ago. There was him, my boyfriend at the time and another friend of ours that went to see the Leafs and Bruins. Of course, as always, I was the only Bruins fan and I made it known early on that I was and got louder and louder I'm sure as the score kept getting better...after the second I think it was 6-2 for Boston. We were joking how the Leafs would need a goal every 5 minutes in the third to tie it....yes, you guessed it, they came back and tied it and to add insult to injury...they won in overtime!!! Probably one of the most exciting games I've been to but a terrible ending for me.
As the years go by, I keep saying I wish I could root for another team but I just can't. I've been a Bruins fan since I was 7 years old thanks to Bobby Orr and always will be even though I may never see them win another Cup in my lifetime. Boo hoo!!!
