PLAEYRS THE WORLD
SERIES...ALL THE HOCKEY
PLAYERS GROWING UP IN

PONDS...DREAMT OF
PLAYING IN THIS MOMENT,
A GAME 7 OF THE STANLEY
CUP
EVERY KID HAS A DREAM
tuukka
"to put something on the line
you
imagine it's game seven, you
know?"
EVERY KID HAS THEIR OWN
RULES
tuukka
it was just me and my buddy
playing
outside if he scored, we'd start
over,
as long as i didn't let goals in
that's
how i played it. but yeah,
acciari
next goal wins outside game
seven
stanley cup goal, every kid is
doing
that
if i didnt score in game seven
and
we lost we'd play it again thats
the
way it went
EVERY KID HAS THEIR OWN
DISCOVERY
chara
early nineties , i remember
watching
my first nhl game stanley cup
final
pittsburgh penguins minnesota
stars
full country that was my first
experience after the game it was
the
first time i saw the big huge
trophy
that's when i realized that was
the
stanley cup
AND FOR THE FEW WHO MAKE
IT...
it's much different when you're
going
through it and realizing how
exciting
and how hard it is
THOSE WHO ONCE WERE KIDS
WITH A DREAM FEEL GREATFUL
you just have so much more
appreciation for what we've been
through and the road we've taken
to
get here hopefully it ends on a
good
note
EVEN IF IT ISN'T EXACTLY HOW
YOU IMAGINED...
i never imagined myself coaching
in
it, not going to lie to you it
was a
player. but here i am it's the
next
best thing so that's where it
was for
me. in the middle of winter
middle of
winter. our street would freeze
over.
coldy avenue, i remember it
well, i
was there for a long time.
YOU THANK THAT DREAM,
BECAUSE IT'S WHERE IT ALL
BEGAN
coldrey avenue. coldrey i
remember
it well. i was there for a long
time.

BUT RIGHT NOW --
OUTSIDE THE GARDEN ON
CANAL STREET --- IS THE
PLACE TO BE.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE
CAUGHT UP WITH FANS
EARLIER TODAY.
SOME OF THEM CAME
FROM AS FAR AS
MONTREAL AND ORLANDO,
FLORIDA TO BE HERE IN
BOSTON FOR THIS.
WE SPOKE WITH SIX YEAR
OLD COLIN RYDER --- AS
HE AND HIS DAD MADE
THEIR WAY THROUGH FAN
FEST EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON.
THEY'RE HEADING BACK
HOME TO MELROSE TO
WATCH GAME 7...
BUT WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THEY SPENT SOME
TIME IN THE CITY
BEFOREHAND.
"We went to the pro shop and
then
went and had lunch at the
Greatest
Bar."
"Do you think the Bruins are
going
to win tonight?"
"Definitely!
"Definitely?
" Yeah!"
"I wanted him to experience this
and
feel the vibe. He's only six,
but he's
loved hockey since he was 4. He
went to his first Bruins game
when
he was 4. Hopefully the Bruins
come out on top or I'm going to
have
a sad camper on my hands."
LAUGHS
COLIN TOLD ME IF THIS
GAME GOES INTO
OVERTIME -- HE'S GOING
TO BE SITTING AT HOME
BITING HIS NAILS OFF.
I'M SURE FANS WHO WILL
BE INSIDE THE GARDEN
FOR THIS GAME WILL BE
JUST AS NERVOUS.
BUT IN ORDER TO GET
INSIDE --- YOU HAD TO PAY
A PRETTY PENNY.
TICKETS ON STUBHUB

PIONT
(YK)
TUUKKA HAS BEEN AN
EASY TARGET FROM
BRUINS FANS, ESPECIALLY
THOSE WHO THINK HE
DIDNT HAVE A TIM THOMAS
2011 PERFORMANCE IN

WALSH ADDRESSED
TICKET SALES IN A PRESS
CONFERENCE HERE IN
THE CITY THIS MORNING.
HE'S WARNING FANS TO
BE CAREFUL OF
COUNTERFEIT TICKETS --

AUTHORIZED TICKET
SELLERS.
HE SAYS THERE'S
NOTHING THE CITY CAN
DO TO HELP YOU ---
IF YOU A BUY A TICKET
THAT'S FAKE... AND CAN'T
GET INTO THE GAME.
THIS AFTERNOON -- I
TALKED TO A 12 YEAR OLD
BOY FROM FLORIDA WHO
IS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE
HEADING INSIDE TONIGHT.
I ALSO ASKED A FEW FANS
-- WOULD YOU PAY ALL
THIS MONEY -- FOR A
CHANCE TO SEE GAME 7 IN
PERSON?
"LAUGHS. No, I wish. If money
was
easier to come by it would be
great."
"Honestly, if they were a little
bit
more reasonable. They were like
$1,500 for the roof. anything
remotely good was three four
thousand dollars a ticket."
"Do you realize how lucky you
are to
be 12 years old and going to a
game 7 of the Stanley Cup
finals?"
"Yeah, it's a dream come true."
"How do you feel?"
"I feel so nervous but amazed at
the
same time."

TEAMS, TUUKA RASK
STARTED IN 2013...AND
THIS WEEK THEY
REFELCTED ON THE
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS OF
WINNING AND LOSING.
[" FOR SOME OF THESE BRUINS
VETERANS, THEY'VE
EXPERIENCED BOTH
POSSIBILITIES FOR
TONIGHT---THE THRILL OF
VICTORY LIKE IN 2011 AND THE
AGONY OF DEFEAT, LIKE IN 2013
i think you learn from both
experience, one is happer the
other
one is more sorrow definatley
more
hungy next time have the
oportunity
JOHNSTON'S NOEL ACCIAIR

(RP)
FOR MORE ON THE FANS
OUTSIDE LETS GO TO
CAROLINE GOGGIN
YOU COULD SAY BOSTON
SPORTS FANS ARE
SPOILED.
THAT'S NOT NEW NEWS TO
ANYONE.
IT'S EXCITING NEWS FOR
FANS... AS THEY HOPE TO
HAVE ANOTHER PARADE
HERE IN THE CITY... IF THE
BRUINS WIN THE STANLEY
CUP TONIGHT.
THE EXCITEMENT IS
BUILDING HERE ON CANAL
STREET ---
AS FANS FROM ALL OVER
NEW ENGLAND.. AND
BEYOND... GEAR UP FOR
GAME 7.
IF THE BRUIN'S WIN --- THE
CITY OF BOSTON WILL BE
HOSTING ITS THIRD
CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE IN
THE LAST 9 MONTHS.
"This is a generational thing.
Even
though there have been 17 or 18
championships in 19 years, it's
okay. Parade after parade. We
all
have our fingers crossed."
"I know it's Patriot land, and
the Red
Sox too. But, Bruins fans i just
think
are more special. I am little
biased
because hockey is number one in
our house. I love all Boston
sports,
but hockey is number one. If the
Bruins are able to win another
one,
they won one in 2011, but this
time
in Boston... it will be
amazing."
MANY FANS WILL BE HERE
ON CANAL STREET TO
HOPEFULLY WATCH THAT
HAPPEN TONIGHT.
SO WILL WE.
MORE LIVE COVERAGE
TONIGHT AT 10 AND 11.
LIVE IN BOSTON,
CAROLINE GOGGIN,
