The Bandwagon Columnist

Sensing that the Boston Bruins are one win away from a Stanley Cup Finals appearance, Shank lays it on thick. My only surprise is that he hasn't broken the axles on the bandwagon, jumping up & down so hard.

He writes this sentence, seemingly without a hint of irony:

Local sport media big shots who have dissed the Bruins for a couple of decades are going to have to take a crash course in Hockey 101.

Finish the column with non-hockey references (Tampa's coach is "Belichickian", our coach is Grady Julien) and appearances by Ringo Starr and Archie Bunker, and you have the template for the Shank Bandwagon Column^TM.
