I admit that I fully enjoyed watching Boston get their hearts crushed in seven….at home. Is seven years a long time to hold a grudge? I’m not sure I want to let it go either. This was not the Stanley Cup I expected or hoped for and I think this playoffs should be looked at a little closer by some of the “know it alls” and they should ask why Tampa….or Washington…or Calgary never went farther after great regular seasons.
The discussion around building a contender for the regular season usually takes precedence, as you have to make the playoffs to win the Cup.
