I know the late Coach Pat Burns had a place at the lake, I think in Wolfboro and The Mad Fisherman has had a few Bruins fishing with him on the big lake. Does any one know any other Briuins, past/present that might frequent the lake? I'm pretty sure there is an older Bruin from the 70's team that owns a place on Winnisquam, can't remember who it is right now

Having our boat at West Alton Marina in 2001 - 2004 Don Sweeney used to frequent West Alton Marina. He was friend of one of the other boat owners there. He was quite fond of our Cocker Spaniel!

Well I'm headed to Beantown tomorrow morning to fight the masses. Never been to one of the championship parades and thought, what the heck. I'm sure there will be lots of people everywhere. I not one to fight the crowds but I'm doing it anyway. I'm may be sorry but I need to be involved in one of these before I die. Wish me luck.

SIKSUKR....you will have fun. I worked in the Prudential Center in Boston up until about 4 yrs ago. It was great....we got to just leave the office...right in time...to see the parade. You will have fun. It is the whole experience of it. The crowd...the energy...the whole thing!

I tell my kids (15 & 17) that they are so lucky with all the WINS the Boston teams have brought them over the recent years. Finally, our favorite sport, our favorite team WON! We are heading in!

Have fun!

Every Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer they are repairing the bridges on 93 south between Stoneham and Boston. It has been a nightmare and should be avoided. Best bet would be to take the train in from Reading. Parking is free on weekends on it dumps you right at the Garden. If parking is full at the depot go into the furniture store across the street and I will set you up. Enjoy !!!

If I hadn't been silly and not thinking, I wouldn't have invited my SIL and BIL up for a pre-dad's day cookout and would be heading in there NOW to camp out with my son....... he thinks this is a "once in a lifetime" opp to see the Stanley Cup (tho he's only 15). Wishing you luck, have fun, and come back safe!
