A Hell of a Week in Boston Sports

What the hell?  (Photo/ABC.com)

For New England sports fans, it has been a shocking week;

Former tight-end for the Pats - shipped up the fabled creek -

As a suspect in a murder, they've denied him bail.

Put cuffs on Hernandez and then hauled him off to jail.

We were all still reeling 'cause we'd lost the Stanley Cup;

Wishing doctors luck as they patched Bergeron back up.

Just begun to overcome the fact the Blackhawks won;

Moving on to baseball after hockey season's done.

Now, instead, there's murder charges... One young man is dead

And I heard, last night, as I was getting in to bed

There were 2 more murders that police have never solved.

Now they're thinking that Hernandez may have been involved.

Then - to add the cherry to this sundae made of crap -

I just heard they blew the Celtics up and I may snap.

Doc and Paul and Kevin gone and all that Boston gets?

Future draft positions? We just gave them to the Nets.

...  You need to beware - 'cause I'm gonna swear  ...

In this blog I try to keep it clean and never swear,

But this music video that I would like to share

Is profane enough to make this former sailor wince,

Yet...  It made me laugh and toes' been tapping ever since.

Dear Bruins... Thank You

 Now that there has been a chance to cool emotions down

And Chicago's Blackhawks got a head-start out of town;

Now the shock of Game 6' final seconds has sunk in;

Now that I am reconciled that my team didn't win,

Thank you Boston Bruins for a most exciting ride,

Even though the Stanley Cup left with the other side.

Bruins were amazing and they did the city proud;

Boston Strong for all of us - not just the hockey crowd.

Hockey players on the ice with broken ribs or legs.

Stitched 'em up and sent 'em back and drained 'em to the dregs.

Trust me, I've got nothing for the Bruins now but love.

Not their fault that Crawford learned (at last) to use his glove.

Because It's The Cup

Blackhawks tied the series up last night in overtime.

I cannot be blamed because I didn't write a rhyme.

When I write a rhyme before a Bruins game, they lose.

Then I have to suffer through my sons' and husband's "Boos!"

Game 4 was amazing; final score was 6 to 5.

Both teams at the Garden kicked it in to overdrive.

Each time that the Blackhawks scored the Bruins scored one, too.

It was nearly midnight when the hockey game was through.

Chara and Brad Marchand - he's "The Little Ball of Hate" -

Lucic, Boychuk, Peverley and Bergeron were great.

Tuukka was still very good...  He made outstanding saves

But he had some trouble stopping Seabrook, Kane, and Toews.

Game 5, in Chicago, on the Blackhawks' home town ice,

Both teams knowing that, to hoist the Cup, they must win twice.

I'd be wishing Boston luck if I were not afraid

I would jinx the Bruins before Game 5's even played.
