Two years ago, Bill Burr proved to a mostly-Philadelphia crowd that he knew a few things about sports, namely how horrible the City of Brotherly Love’s athletic history is. Now, he’s taken his sports knowledge — and his love of the place where he honed his stand-up chops — to the NHL.com, where he’ll be blogging about the Boston Bruins throughout the hockey playoffs. His first post went up this morning. And it begins:
I was doing a gig at a college in St. Louis the night that the Bruins played their final game against the Canadiens. I have the NHL Center Ice package and my plan was to not watch SportsCenter, fly home, order a pizza, and watch the game with no knowledge of the outcome.
That plan lasted about three minutes. My show ended and like a crackhead, I immediately went to the nearest sports bar, ordered a beer and waited for the highlights. I told myself to remain calm. “We have home ice throughout the playoffs. Even if we lose, we still won the season series. No need to get excited.”
