There Was No Joy In Beantown Last Night

Tuesday, 17 Goodenuf 2008

If you were a Bruins fan, at any rate...

Montreal Canadiens 4, Boston Bruins 1.

One of the more interesting statistics from last night: Montreal has never trailed Boston at any time this year. In the eight regular season games ([8 games] x [60 minutes per game] = 480 minutes of playing time in regulation [plus any regular season overtime [max 5 minutes per game]) they played this year, Montreal was tied with Boston for approximately 170 minutes, and in the lead for over 300 minutes. Even my favorite football team, the Miami Dolphins, were in the lead at some point during their season of futility.

I have already undertaken a wager with a co-worker who is a Dead Things Red Wings fan: whichever of Montreal or Detroit makes it further in the playoffs (Montreal goes farther = I win!). And, even though it might be akin to stealing candy from a baby, I would dearly love to make a bet with any of the Sadly, No! crew that are Bostonians on the outcome of the current series. How about it, guys?
