Being a Boston sports fan is pretty great.
Boston teams have won 12 championships since the turn of the century and between the Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox and New England Patriots, there seemingly always is a team contending for another title.
Of course, Boston has a shot to win all four major American sports championships in a calendar year with the Pats and Sox already raising banners and the B’s and Celtics in the middle of playoff runs. But Tuesday was a rough night for Boston playoff teams.
The Bruins dropped Game 3 of their second-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Columbus Blue Jackets, while the Celtics got shellacked by the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The double loss is something that hasn’t happened to the C’s and B’s in a long, long time.
We’re not complaining (actually we are, because losing sucks and it was a stressful night). Please keep Boston in your thoughts during this troubling time.
