The story isn't supposed to end this way, at least not for the good guys. They're supposed to win and triumph over the villains, but that wasn't the case with the San Antonio Spurs or the Boston Bruins. For the Spurs, I wasn't shocked because they were playing the Miami Heat and Lebron James (although they should have won Game 6). For the Bruins though, I was disappointed like everyone they lost because they outplayed the Chicago Blackhawks in almost every game, but blew so many chances to close them out. I know it's just sports, and we as fans can move on, but this Stanley Cup Finals run was more than just an attempt at another sports title; it revived the city and gave them hope after the Boston Marathon tragedy. You may not believe that, but lots of teams have revived cities after tragedies, like the New York Yankees after 9/11, etc. Unfortunately, it seems like the right team never wins.
I could get into analyzing how the Bruins lost, but no one wants to read that (and you can see that anywhere on ESPN). I just want to take this small space I have to say thanks to them for a great title run. They may have fallen a little short, but for what they accomplished, thrilling us Boston fans, we'll look back on these Stanley Cup Finals with more smiles than frowns.
