Bruins-Canadians was a huge rivarly in the 70's and 80's
Very intense
The bruins owner in the last decade won't spend money so interest is way down
Boston is Red Sox 1st-even when they are not in season
We are passionate about all our sport teams but the Red Sox are like family if you grow up in Boston
The year they lost in game7 to the NY Yankees, biggest rivarly in US Sports, people were actually calling the next day with concern to see if I was ok!!!!
