Dear Bruins Fans,

Dear Bruins fans,

There is no need to worry about the current streak of unacceptable games. Yes, they took 3 of 4 points in the last two games but, wasn't it a little difficult to watch the offense go brain dead? Well, I am here to say...

'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all Bruins fans. For unto you is born this day in the city of Boston a new beginning, which is the remaining 13 games of the regular season. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the puck wrapped in ice shavings, lying in an opponents net.' And suddenly there was with the hockey gods a multitude of the heavenly host, praising the Spoked B, and saying, 'glory to the Bruins in the highest, and in the Garden, peace, good skills toward Black and Gold.'

That's what playoff hockey is all about Bruins fans.

Alright, so I completely ripped off one of my favorite Christmas movies but, I feel as if it is appropriate. Let's have some faith in this team. We should be glad that they had a rough patch before the playoffs began and that it did not happen in the last four games of the season. I have the utmost confidence that the Bruins will finish the season strong and catapult themselves into the playoffs. You should feel the same way. Defense wins championships, er, defense gets teams into the second round.

Regards,
McKeon
