The guy on the radio said that the Bruins could be considered one of the best and toughest teams in NHL history. I have no reason to agree or disagree with that, but it was the reason he gave for his claim that made me go "Huh??" He said they were one of the best and toughest teams in NHL history because they are the first-ever team to win 3 game 7's in a postseason. Really? If they had needed only 4 or 5 games to polish off their opponents in each round of playoffs, they wouldn't deserve to be regarded so highly? I often get the feeling that a piece of evidence is used whichever way suits one's intended point. ... Agreed. Is your son still a professional musician?
