I am a huge hockey fan. More specifically, I am a huge Boston Bruins fan. As a matter of fact, when the Bs get eliminated from the playoffs, I stop watching. This year, I think I might be watching until the very end when Joe Thorton hoists the Cup in air.

I was disappointed when they canceled the season last year, but I support the owners in doing what had to be done to stop that maniacal Bob Goodenow. He has been leading the players on a path of destruction for years and it’s good to finally see that ass stopped in his tracks.

The Bruins have made some great signings so far. One of the best has to be Glen Murray. The Bs and Murray agreed to a four-year contract — that is awesome news for us going forward. The Bruins also got Shawn McEachern, a scrappy little player and Dave Scatchard.

Perhaps the best pick to shore up the defense was veteran Brian Leetch. What a great pick for Boston — Leetch will do a lot to help out with the younger players on the blue line. They only agreed to a one-year contract, but they’ll extend that if everything works out.

The players the bruins signed are all older, but they are all experienced stars. Add this to the likes of Samsanov, Thorton, Hal Gill and Patrice Bergeron and you have a Cup winning team.
