The players all held the Stanley Cup one last time. The team's top executives all made speeches; Jacobs, Neely, and Chiarelli. Chara spoke for the players. Ference presented the ugly player of the game jacket thing to Recchi. Members of the 1972 Cup team, including Bobby Orr, came out to help raise the banner. Finally, the banner went up to the rafters as an endless symbol of the 2010-11 Stanley Cup Championship. The crowd went nuts. The good vibes in the building must have been overwhelming.
Then the game, and the title defense, began. The Bruins came out flying and took a 1-0 lead in the first.
Then they fell asleep for the rest of the game. Philly scored twice in less than a minute span in the 2nd and that's how it ended. Flyers 2, Bruins 1.
Okay, Bruins, the honeymoon is officially over. It's time to not suck! Let's not tank for 40 minutes like that again, eh?
