Bruins’ core has achieved so much, and yet it could have been so much more
The 10-year anniversary of my favorite day ever spent in Boston comes around next week.
Maybe you feel the same about Saturday, June 18, 2011, the day the Bruins rolled through the city on duck boats, rollicking and rejoicing in their first Stanley Cup championship in 39 years.
I bet you do. I bet you feel the same, and the memories remain vivid. The weather that day was a few rays of sunshine beyond perfect, so idyllic that no Instagram filter could make it look lovelier than it already was. The air and the mood were equally warm. So many people you knew were there, lining the parade route. All of them were giddy. We haven’t had a better parade. Not sure we’ve had better Saturdays.
