"A history" lesson in "Great Moments" in Bell Centre History

We all know -- at least in the state of Massachusetts -- that Patriots Day is a tradition every third Monday in April. We also know that school children get that day off -- at the K-12 level the whole week -- while the Red Sox always have a game in the late morning and of course, who can forget about the annual Boston Marathon.

Well, the last few years the Bruins have played on Patriots Day as well. Is it a co-incidence? I won't go into that, but you can make that judgement for yourself.

Best of 2000's: A lesson to Remember?

From Now until the end of the month, I will be running some best moments of the decade (and not so great too), with 2010 approaching.

Class is now in session as "History Professor" and Boston play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards talks about the Revolutionary War, while comparing it to a Bruins victory in Game 3 over the Montreal Canadiens in the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Here is the clip of this moment of whatever significance (a great, not so great or WTF).



You may now pass in your papers regarding the events of Patriots Day, 2009.

See you tomorrow...

Flyers' new villain: Jack Edwards?

We all know that Boston Bruins play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards, is just a bit biased when calling the action. When the B's are playing their hated rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, Edwards doesn't stop there. In fact he takes it further.

However, even though Edwards had his Revolutionary War rant against the Habs in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals last year, and was unhappy about the Habs jerseys when they played the Bruins on Super Bowl Sunday - remember in the end he said: "The final, the Bruins 3, the inmates 1." -  his incident in Philadelphia on March 29, tops everything.
