We’re finding “Silver” linings right now friends
A winter of promise is giving way to a summer of discontent for Boston sports fans.
After posting the best regular season in NHL history en route to the Presidents Trophy, the Boston Bruins were bounced out of the opening round of the NHL playoffs by the Florida Panthers. Boston gave up a game-tying goal in the closing seconds of Game 7, and went on to lose in overtime.
Now the Boston Celtics are set to see their season end in rather embarrassing fashion. After storming back to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers in a seven-game series, the Celtics are on the brink of being swept by another Florida tea, the Miami Heat, after Sunday night’s blowout loss.
And while the Boston Red Sox have a solid record, clocking in at 26-21 on the young season, that is only good enough for fourth place in a deep, and talented, AL East.
So is there any good news in Boston sports right now?
Maybe it is this.
