Sabres 4, Bruins 1

 

There's no joy in Beantown today. The Bruins season is over. 

Last night, the Buffalo Sabres mercifully ended Boston's suffering with a 4-1, Game 6 win. One less team to worry about in this sad season of the demise of Boston teams. The Celtics are struggling against the Sixers and have a Game 7 situation tonight. The Red Sox are underwater in their worse start to a season ever and already fired their manager. Fans are still embarrassed by the Patriots' performance in the Super Bowl, but, hey, at least they made the Super Bowl. No final-round Stanley Cup embarrassments by the Bruins this year.

For what it's worth, Pastrnak, who won Game 5 in OT for the Bruins, scored Boston's lone goal in Game 6.

We now face a long, hot summer of watching a hapless Red Sox team struggle through another season.
