A begrudging tip-of-the-cap to the Boston Bruins

Mark Recchi retires on top, Gary Bettman gets booed, Tim Thomas was his usual invincible self, Brad Marchand still looks like sewer vermin and the city of Boston wins its 4th major sports championship in seven years. I think I speak for everyone when I say... YOU GO TO HELL, BOSTON. YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE.

2011-'12 season starts in 110 days. Get ready, folks.
