I don't ever recall this happening before. Ever.
The Chicago Blackhawks took out a full page ad in the Boston Globe thanking the Boston Bruins, its fans and the city for its class during a hard fought Stanley Cup series.
I understand that hockey is filled with Canadians, and Canadians have an extra kindness gene, or something. And most of the reaction in Boston about the Bruins loss was something along the lines of "great series, sucks we lost the way we did, but the Blackhawks are a really good team."
The fans were great, most sticking around for the cup presentation after the shocking Game Six loss, and hearing the fans chant "Let's Go, Bruins" made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
But... what the hell is going on here? I want the Bruins to come out and flatten the Blackhawks when they play them next year. No more of this diplomacy crap.
