Good Riddance tonight to the Boston Bruins, an incorrigible cadre of evildoers coached by a guy who actually resembles Gru from Despicable Me.
Told ya.
For Detroiters and Red Wings fans everywhere, that eliminated the team they were most rooting against. I'm sure some were rooting against Pittsburgh in large part because of Sidney Crosby. I assume everyone outside of Pennsylvania, Nova Scotia and the Tim Horton's marketing department roots against Sidney Crosby. So who do you root for now, and what's the criteria for picking them ?
This is where sports and film/TV entertainment differ so greatly. Kevin Spacey can play a villain, and you generally root against his character, in most cases, but you leave the theater saying "Kevin Spacey is an amazing actor", and you root for him when he's playing K-Pax, unless you're Milan Lucic and you're so dumb you think K-Pax is what your sister buys once a month. {I could have really made that a much more vulgar reference and next time the Wings play the Bruins I'm probably gonna regret not sprinting down that path}. In sports, you're pretty much pulling for the real human being at his real job.
And unless your name is Stu Grimson, you probably aren't a whole helluva lot different out of uniform.
So we know who we hate, and some of 'em are gone. Who do we root for now, Detroit ? Three Original 6 franchises left. Or the newbies from the west coast ?
