10 years ago I didn’t know what I was going to do with my life.
It really stemmed from the Bruins' playoff loss to the Canadiens.
I was furiousssss after that series.
To go forward we need to back it up even more to 2011…
Probably would’ve played better had I not stayed up late to watch the Bruins, but I digress.
But days later came a STRONG win at home in Game 6 to send the series back to Vancouver.
They actually did it.
“For the first time in 39 years, the Boston Bruins have won the Stanley Cup!”
I can still picture Doc Emrick announcing it.
In 2016, 2 years after tweeting and blogging about the Bruins I received a follow from Dave Portnoy.
But I reassured him no, it was me and I laid out what I could do for Barstool.
I started working on Spittin' Chiclets and then would soon start the Barstool Radio twitter.
Months later that became a reality.
Everyone knows Dave isn’t the best at emails.
Didn’t care the amount.
Just wanted to get to NYC and prove myself and do it full time.
This man just did not respond.
Sports have been, and will always be an escape for me and many others.
For 30 years this team has meant the world to me.
My Mom was pissed.
I didn’t care.
That’s how much I loved them.
They were everything to me.
It didn’t matter if they won or lost, they were always there.
He bought me a ticket to Game 7 when he didn’t have to.
We went to Borrelli’s, several times (that playoff series took years off my life).
All of the electric chairs… (again, years off of my life).
All of these moments that have happened in my life, all because I sent a DM.
Will I get to go to many games?
Marchand dealt, half of my favorite player’s gone.
It’s been putrid.
When I became a Mom, I knew I wanted to share this love with her.
How lucky am I to love something and someone so much and combine the two?
You don’t mention Marina without mentioning the Bruins.
That one would be more believable…
I can’t wait to take my Dad to opening night, in my own seats.
Viva La Stool and Go B’s.
