Carolina has now won four straight Game 7's and six straight playoff series. How's that for resilience?
Boston's a city of winners these days, so you have to believe the Bruins are sick of watching the Celtics and Red Sox flash championship rings around Kendall Square. They'll have to endure it for at least one more summer.
Next up for Carolina are Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Tweets are blowing in not only about this Hurricane on ice but about a bad night in Beantown:
mike_little #hurricanes can't believe i just yelled at a hockey game. woke up the house. englishinvader The silence in Boston is deafening. Woop. #hurricanes HockeyTweeter Not a good night in Boston: Red Sox = fail; Celtics = fail; Bruins = fail; Revolution = dnp. #canes #hurricanes #bruins #nhl #stanleycup macknuttie Not that cool to be in Boston for the first time and have the Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins lose in the same night. Sorry Boston!
Sure, Carolina is a nice story, but there is nothing more entertaining that despondent Boston sports fans. As the above Tweet noted, first the Celtics, then the Red Sox, now the Bruins, all losers in one night. Safe to say there are a few teary-eyed seaman crying in their Samuel Adams somewhere in the South End tonight:

AnnMarieBP Ouch...painful finish for the Bruins...well, at least 'Boston' is still a great band! ;) gfmorris The Bruins always break my heart. iandrinkwater For those looking for company on the Tobin bridge, I'm the guy screaming "I thought you wanted it" in his underwear. #bruins
