Big Bad Bruins

With the start of the 2011-2012 season, just one day away, the Boston Bruins are soaking up the last bits of glory from their Stanley Cup Championship. On Tuesday night, October 4, the Bruins received their championship rings. Made up of more than 300 diamonds, championship rings tend to be a little larger than the ordinary. Fan favorite Milan Lucic when asked about the size of the rings said, “yelling at you, screaming off your fingers.’’ The ring features all of the teams the Bruins defeated in the playoffs last season surrounded by the NHL logo. Although the cost of each ring was not released, Bruins winger Shawn Thornton said, It’s probably worth more than my parents made growing up. I’m kind of speechless." All players and coaches agreed it was the perfect way to end a tremendous season. The players noted that it was one of the most memorable seasons that played in not just because of the Stanley Cup, but because of all the people involved in the journey. Although all good things must come to an end, the Bruin's success in 2011 will never be forgotten. On opening night, the  banner will be raised proudly to join the other championship banners at the Garden. That way, the Bruins (and Celtics) success will reign forever. 


The author, Jake Seiner, kept a very professional standpoint while writing the article however, at times he did cave to the excitement of the Bruins. He praised the team and coaches, and appreciated all of the fan support. He included extremely positive quotes from players such as Michael Ryder's comment, These guys, we’ll always remember each other for what we did...It’s good to get together and have this time.’’ Although it had been 39 years since the last Stanley Cup win in Boston, it was worth the wait. The author's use of logos convince the reader he was not only knowledgeable about the Bruins, but he was extremely interested as well. He congratulated the Bruins and wrote to the fans of Boston. The Bruins have high hopes for this season but they will soak up to glory for one more day. Let's go  Bruins!
