Bruins Represented

One of the greatest Stanley Cup Finals in years.  The underdog Bruins intimidated and hammered the President's Cup trophy winning Canucks.

Even thought the Man Garage is heavy with Philadelphia Flyers swag, the Bruins are represented.
Signed pucks, panoramic picture of the old Garden, signed Terry O'Reilly stick that he gave to me after playing in a game with him in the early 90s and several retirement banners hanging above the bar.

When I left Boston it was a hockey nut city.  The wrecking of the old Garden and numerous years of futility relegated the B's to the 4th Sport in Boston.  But you always knew below the surface this was a hockey nut town.  And the following the Finals generated and the mass hysteria beyond Red Sox winning magnitude solidified the Bruins as an Old Towne favorite.
