Okay, so ten days ago the hardwatching staff comes to you and says, “Listen – the Boston Bruins will sweep the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference finals and not only that, the B’s will limit the Pens (the highest-scoring team in the NHL the last two seasons, averaging 4.5 goals per game in this year’s playoffs) to two goals in four games.”
You say we’re crazy, right?
Well . . . crazy!
That was one sweet sweep the local ice squad engineered last night, especially since the only goal came from a blueliner with only one goal in the playoffs.
Take a bow, Adam McQuaid (via WeSeeHockey and the redoubtable Doc Emrick).
So – (likely) an Original Six Stanley Cup Final between the Bruins and the Blackhawks?
Excellent!
In anticipation, the hardrooting staff is reading A.J. Liebling’s 1952 classic Chicago, The Second City.

And all thanks to Jarome Iginla. It’s not easy to offend professional hockey players on a personal level — because they do it professionally — but Iginla managed it.
Yeah – sometimes the trades you DON’T make, eh?
