Delusional Dan

The Boston Bruins have won three games in a row after shitcanning Claude Julien six days ago, including a satisfying 4-0 shutout over the Montreal Canadiens last night. Shank manages to talk himself into a ludicrous comparison. Either he's delusional, or he's trying to get a rise out of Bruins fans. Here's his third tweet (yes, the third) of the season on the Bruins (because he's really into hockey):

B's dump Claude: Is this going to be like when the '88 Sox fired John McNamara, then won 12 in a row, 19 of 20, finishing in first place?

My buddy John (who would put Kevin Paul Dupont to shame on hockey knowledge if he was writing a column about hockey) sends me this:

If the pooh bear lemmings think a new coach cures the lower lines, defense & backup goaltending, I have some kool aid.

Shank gets some other reminders as well:

@Dan_Shaughnessy and then got their butts kicked by Oakland
