Honestly, I didn't take much joy in watching Boston collapse in the last minute and a half, but karma was the first thing that came to mind when it happened. The Hockey gods are a fickle bunch.

That, and the way they beat the Bruins, in the dying minutes, is delightful.
I normally wouldn't take joy in seeing a team choke like that, but given the circumstances and how they did basically the same thing to the Leafs in round 1..I have no empathy for them.

I really don't get this. Are people that affected by the first round loss that they have to take joy in Boston's loss?
I mean, did it suck we lost? Yes. Did it suck we lost the way we did? Yes. Is Boston to blame for it? No - the Leafs are to blame. Why are people taking it out on Boston?
edit: Sorry, LHF, didn't mean to pick on you specifically...

LittleHockeyFan said::-| First off, I actually like the Bruins, and after Toronto, Winnipeg and Chicago (in that order) Boston would be my next favourite team.
TBH, my reason for posting that picture was twofold: 1. anytime I can post a picture of My Jonathan, I'm a happy camper and 2. that picture was actually stolen/acquired from the Chicago Sun. I thought it was neat that they printed it in THEIR paper, after someone pointed them to the Toronto Sun, from where it originated. My posting this had less to do with sticking it to Boston than it did just enjoying Toews Overload for the next couple days.
my previous post is more like stick it to Boston (but really, just an excuse to post a cute bear picture. After all, that is my job around here )

I agree with this.
It's absolutely fine to hope Boston lost and are glad they did so. And if people believe Boston losing in the Cup final helps lessen the sting of the Leafs' loss, by all means.
But I don't get people who think Boston losing in the final as opposed to simply losing in the first round as the Leafs did is some sort of moral victory. There's really no reason for us to be gloating that Boston couldn't get it done. Considering the city hasn't see a final game in 46 years, I'm sure we'd all wouldn't mind being able to say the team was two games away from winning the Cup.
