So obviously everyone knows how things turned out for the B's last night, went to Canada and beat mercilessly on some hosers and returned with some hardware. I'm the pinkest of the pink hat bruins fans so I'm not going to wax on here about this victory. I'll just say, thank god. These are Canadians we're talking about, and not just any Canadians but West Coast Canadians. Not only are they harmless saps, but they're chill, lazy, harmless saps. Losing to that band of sissy losers would have been the official death knell for this great nation.
While all that was happening and Chara (left) was doing his best Cast Away "I HAVE MADE FIRE" impression, a little known underdog was doing work back in Boston, wrapping up a dream season that no one believed possible.
That's right, the Black and Yellow of the Wednesday Night Mixed-Coed B-Division Indoor Soccer League (The WNMCBDIS if you're tracking at home) shocked the world with a league championship.
The little team that could, the team that no one gave a chance pulled off the single greatest "no one believed in us" victory the WNMCBDIS has ever seen, one that will go down in the history books and be talked about for a long, long time.
I'll spare you the details as I promised to stop writing indoor soccer wrap ups a long time ago, but suffice to say this game had much more drama than the Bruins stomping on a bunch of figure skaters throats did. The game was finally won with 5 seconds remaining in OT on a free kick goal from team rookie JB. Shocked, stunned, and relieved (yours truly, CW was filling in net last night, was more than relieved that the game wouldn't be settled over penalty kicks) the jubillant team rode off into the sunset to celebrate and watch their counterparts handle their business out west. And for this blogger, it seemed fitting that both teams adorned in black and gold came through on the same night.
