Stanley Cup

Champs

June 17, 2011

Well they pulled it off. the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. We were at The Rattlesnake for a going away party, appropriately named “Good Bye Mass-Holes!”, for our friends who are moving back to Texas. Price, Emily and I arrived around 7.45 and didn’t leave until just after 11.30. We were having a fun time with friends and watching the game.

I was hoping for the parade to be on Friday since it goes past my office and I have seen Red Sox and Celtics parades before. Unfortunately, for me, it’s Saturday, so I’ll just have to see the coverage later on.

George Washington must be rolling over in his grave

June 2, 2011

I don’t get it.

I just go get it why Boston officials allowed Bruins jerseys to be put on statues in Boston. Who thought it was okay to cover up a statue of George Washington or Paul Revere? The men did great things to help our country gain it’s freedom. They have had statues built in their honor and we show them disrespect like this?

The George Washington statue on the Public Garden also sported a Bruins shirt.The George Washington statue on the Public Garden was one of the decorated statues in Boston.

Yes, I admit that I could not care less about the Stanely Cup. I only went to my first hockey game a few months ago. However, regardless of the fact that I don’t care about hockey, I still think it’s wrong. They did the same thing to the Make Way for Ducklings statues on the common, which I don’t have an issue with. The are based on a children’s book and little kids sit on the ducks, so clearly not the same significance as statues of historic figures. Clearly this little girl loves it.

Two-year-old Chloe Schouela, of Newton, cheered on the decorated Make Way For Ducklings statues in Boston. Each duckling had a Bruins cape with its name on the back.

Maybe I’ll just be viewed as a downer about it but I think there are other ways of Boston to show it’s pride and support for the Bruins.

What are you thoughts? Am I a stick in the mud? Do you think this would happen in DC where there are lots of historical statues/monuments? Or do you love it?
