Letter 3

Dear Internet,

I have been posting anonymously to you about Bruins hockey for sometime. However I want you to know, I am a real person and, Internet, I make you this promise: If my Bruins make the playoffs and win one round, I will de-cloak. I will no longer change in a phone booth from my Clark Kent to Nebpusman. I will let all cyberspace into the nebcave and show you around. I will throw away these letters that I hide behind and show you the real Neb behind the keys. My tangled web will be revealed to the intermingled web. So that you live up to your end of the bargain and propel my Bruins into the second round, because as we all know you THE INTERNET are all powerful I will slowly start pulling away the layers behind which I hide. So, Internet here is your first hint to my real identity. I am 37.

Yours forever,

neb

Holiday Blues - What If?

I was pondering The Bruins loss to The Rangers on Saturday and I was thinking about the St. Patrick's Day holiday and I remembered The Bruins also losing on Thanksgiving (actually the day after) and on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas). The B's have a young team and I was thinking that they might lose sight of their priorities and get all caught up in the spirit of these holidays. They have lost all 3 of these holiday games and 2 of these were to Carolina and The Rangers. If The Bruins were a more mature team and could handle the holiday excitement they might have been able to win these 3 games.

If The Bruins did win these 3 games the standings would now look like this:

7th - Bruins - 80 Pts.
8th - Carolina - 78 pts.
9th - Islanders - 78 pts.
10th - Toronto - 78 pts.
11th - Hated Habs - 78 pts.
12th - Rangers - 77 pts.

I might be totally out to lunch on this but there is a pattern to their holiday performances and they are a young team. Maybe if they were a little more focused around the holidays other teams would be chasing them instead of the other way around.

This is just a random thought that came to my head and I thought I would share it with you.
