Bruin fan since 1975
I want to do more then just qualify for the playoffs.... For the reasons which have been eloquently explained here by Bruin fans...in a nutshell if that window of opportunity still exists imo it is closing rapidly
in history... in the past 40 years... how many teams won a cup and bounced back within the decade to win again?
Chicago... LA...
Detroit... New Jersey?
am I missing anyone?
Pittsburgh do they count?
sure we would all like to see our core win again
when bobby orr, phil Esposito. and those boys were the core... im sure the fans wanted to win again
but how realistic is it to 'expect' it to happen? what are the odds? I will hope with you all that we can win again.
5 years ago we fired Chiarelli... everyone said this team was in shambles. that we would never recover. that our cap was shot... we had no prosects… chara was finished... Thomas was finished... marchand should be traded as a disgrace to the team...
and here was are… close enough that fans say we have a window. I think that shows the brain trust has did a good job and gotten the fans faith back up. lets keep on the bandwagon so we wont feel like fake fans just in case these guys do something this year
