Honestly, I can say that this was a day that I never saw coming, at least to that point.
Having witnessed the teams and seasons that came before the 2010-11 squad, I was used to covering and watching the B’s seasons end in disappointment. From the days of the Black and Gold playing in front of sparse crowds at the TD Garden (formerly known as the FleetCenter) to heartbreaking losses in three straight years of Game 7’s, it looked like the days of the “Big Bad Bruins” would not return to Causeway Street anytime soon.
But that 2010-11 season was something special.
