Thanks, Pan. It's a good time to be a sports fan in Boston. My only arguement is that the Bruins don't really suck. They aren't at the caliber of the other 3 teams, but if hockey season ended today, they would make the playoffs.

ALL 4 TEAMS IN THEIR SPORTS BIGGEST GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That maybe a trivia question someday that some radio station may kick out and you can remember and win.)

Growing up, I remember Boston teams having a fairly magical 1986. Pats in the Superbowl, Celtics winning the NBA title, Red Sox 1 out away from being champs. Of course, the Bruins (who don't really suck) were bounced out of the playoffs in the first round, so it doesn't quite measure up to the Philly team's season in 1979-1980. Still, not a bad showing.
