Spring Quiz Time - II!

For the few who did not pass the previous time, we're offering a chance for you to redeem yourselves in Shankology 101!

Last night, we had again three local Boston sports teams who were in action. Can you correctly guess which game Shank decided to write a column about?

A) The Boston Celtics won their third playoff game in a row, a 104 - 96 road victory over the Indiana Pacers;

B) The Boston Red Sox, on the road against the white-hot Tampa Bay Rays, finally saw the bats spring to life in a 6 - 4 win, or

C) The Boston Bruins lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs, 2 - 1 and are now one game away from playoff elimination.

If you guessed C), step up and claim your prize!

There’s always the notion that the Bruins will beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs. The Bruins, after all, haven’t lost a playoff series to Toronto since 1959. The Leafs haven’t won any playoff series in 15 long years. And we all remember 2013 when the Bruins won Game 7 vs. Toronto despite trailing by three goals in the third period.

The Bruins will prevail. The Leafs will fall. Bank on it.

But now it feels a little shaky. There’s legitimate fear that maybe this time the Bruins are in danger. Suddenly, it’s possible that the local hockey season could be over by dinner time on Easter Sunday.

As I was watching this unfold last night; I had one primary thought - 'there's no way in hell Shank is going to be this predictable, is he?'

Never disappointing, always negative.
