Ok! Where do I start? Game 7 in Rogers Arena Canada was amazing! Vancouver Canucks vs. Bruins, what a game! What a play! I'm excited to report Vancouver didn't score once. But of course Canucks fans didn't take defeat lightly. I can understand their frustration of being so close to the cup before and being defeated, and coming close now and being defeated. Vancouver has never won the cup before, they only have made it to the finals twice. Boston, on the other hand, won the cup in 1972 and hasn't won since then, until now. While we watched massive crowds dancing in the streets in Boston, all hell broke loose in Vancouver. People were flipping cars, burning jerseys, and looting. Many were arrested and beaten by police.
On to Boston to welcome our champions! Saturday June 18th was an unbelievably joyful day for Bruins fans everywhere! Even the MBTA chose to have more trains running then it normally does on weekends, to transport passengers to and from Boston for the huge event, with 45 minute delays. I witnessed massive crowds at the train station in Gloucester who couldn't wait to get to get to Boston to get their party started! Young guys were chaotic on the train, hitting windows and the ceiling at each stop, demanding that the train be moved to catch what was left of the parade. But it was too late. It took 2 hrs to get to Boston and so these guys decided to open beers, acting like it was Mardi Gras! Once we reached Boston it was like, "Who let the dogs out?" They ran out of the train like they were just released from prison, lol! Stepping out of North Station was ridiculous! Police everywhere, crowds of people everywhere, the streets cluttered with confetti!
Walking on the sidewalks was pointless because of how many people there were. It took my friends and I an hr to find each other because with the screaming, calling each other was pointless. The malls and restaurants were unbelievably packed! No wonder, hundreds of thousands of people were in Boston that day! I was approached by screaming guys, who just ran up to me screaming, "YAYA BRUINS, who you for?!?!" Yup, truly memorable. Bravissimi Bruins, time to shave and do it all over again! If they do win again, I'm definitely staying home, lol!
