This guys got a blog???: Bru-Tang Clan

New York- Okay so for those who don't know, I'm an outcast in New York. Dear readers, you are talking to one of a few chosen people who claim allegiance to The Red Sox Nation while residing in enemy territory. Ill give you time to pick your jaw up off the floor. Done? Good. Now this leads to many questions so let me rip through the easy one. I am a die hard Jets fan to the point where I'd like to make Fireman Ed the God Father to my first son.

My son is gonna be a BOSS!

The question of basketball is a touchy subject, my allegiance goes to the Knicks not by default, but because Reggie Miller is up there with The Dark and Nap Time as things I most feared and hated as a child. I still root for the Celtics when the Knicks are out but I think that's because KG is just a beast, Scalabrine made me believe white boys can ball and cause they're so hardcore Irish.

Hockey is the one sport I flip flop on hardcore. I've been to one Rangers game in my life. I was too young for the 94 team to have a real impact on my life and didn't care enough when we got Gretzky. I liked the idea of Avery's Army but they dumped him. I still root hard for the Rangers in the playoffs, but I can't name 5 players. On the flip side Tim Thomas is my personal hockey hero.

Dude with the beard in the background, so Epic.

Look I'm not a self hating New Yorker, it just that a guy like Tim Thomas can come out of nowhere, a career backup and run shit through the Stanley Cup right down to crushing his Save Percentage prop. I love the Bruins for the same reason the Oklahoma City Thunder will hold a special place in my heart for eternity, because when they brought on the duck boats last year I cashed in for around 3 grand. Their Stanley Cup run last year was akin to a Disney Movie for a gambling junky like myself and for that I still play Dropkick Murphys version of Nutty as my wake up alarm to get me fired up for my day.

This song made Paint Ball played by others cool, just saying.

Add in one of the most fun lines in hockey between Bergeron, Marchand and Seguin and you've got my new favorite hockey team. The one thing I can't stand about dynasties in sports is that the team gets lazy. Look at Kobe, Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol last year, tell me they were motivated for a single game of the Mavs series and you sir or madam are a liar. Same thing with the 07 Pats, they had the champagne on ice starting in mid November than this happened.

I will use any excuse I can to play this clip.

The three guys on the Bruins second line treat the game with child like excitement. Gotta love that. Marchand recently had his first hat trick, Seguin is a ballsy young prick who's already won a cup but couldn't legally drink the champagne and Bergeron is the leader of the bunch putting his mates above himself to tally up wins. These guys play like young kids out on a pond, looking to have fun and win above all else. I know the Rangers are on a hot streak and this Broadway Fedora thing seems to have legs, but they just don't have a Bru-Tang Clan bunch and that sucks. For more proof on how awesome the New England members of the Original 6 are check out Marchands Running Diary of the Season.

I rooted for the Blue Shirts in The Winter Classic, which was glorious, and I will jump back on the band wagon if the Brown Bears collapse, but as of right now, if for no other reason than to bust Matt's Balls, this blog reports from Bruin Country. Old Time Hockey baby!
