It seems to me that many of the posts about the Bruins have been of that sort -- concentrating on victories as results of the Boston opponents' shortcomings rather than the Bruins own achievements. That is the source of my joking sarcasm.

Anyhow, I'll wait for the post that says the Bruins won Game 3 because of the breakdown of the Lightning in various areas, as espoused by the TV commentators, before continuing this line of discussion any further.
Well, you won't get it from me. They won Game 3 because they were the hungrier team and outplayed Tampa Bay.
