Mrs. Pike scored tickets to the Bruins game last night as they attempted to put an and to their eight game losing streak. I was finally able to wear my Winter Classic Neely jersey to a game and was enjoying some great seats (not far from Barry Peterson, Mike Milbury, and the lovely Kathryn Tappen and the NESN broadcast crew on the loge level) and an early 2-0 lead. The Canadiens of course came back and tied the score late in the second despite being ridiculously outplayed for the majority of the first two periods.
After nothing was settled through overtime or the first two rounds of the shoot-out, Brian Gionta steps to the center dot preparing for his shoot-out attempt. Not sure what I was thinking as I put my head down and said, "Please Brian, remember all the nice things that happened to you in this building (Fleetcenter/TD Banknorth Garden/TD Bank Garden)." Of course I was thinking about Beanpots and Hockey East titles - things that make me happy. Unfortunately, he was thinking about things that make him happy and decided it would be a good time to make another nice memory. At the Bruins expense. Savard's subsequent try was stopped by Halak. End of game. Loss number 9.
I'm starting to think I cursed the Bruins by saying a few weeks ago in this space that they would make the playoffs...
