Shaughnessy on hockey is like nails on a chalkboard, except nails do have their place in a classroom while The CHB has no business anywhere near anything with ice, except maybe a scotch glass.
All it took was one loss for Shank to roll out those tired tropes about bad bounces from-- get this -- 1990. Let's just forget that those Bruins were facing modern hockey's equivalent of the
'27 Yankees, while this year's edition won the Stanley Cup just two seasons ago.
And thank god the B's won in 2011, lest we be treated to a new CHB money grab: The Curse of the Zamboni.
Not exactly a news flash, but I'll say this about Shank's last two columns - he puts much more effort into columns when the local team loses.
