After an entire lifetime of waiting, my Boston Bruins finally won the Cup this spring. I'm speaking for many fellow B's fans when I write that game 7 of the finals was arguably the most exciting sports moment I've ever watched. When they won, I had to celebrate with a new jersey even though I"m live the meager life of a grad student.I selected Chris Kelly because I've been a fan of his since watching him play for the Binghamton Senators during the 2004-05 lockout. That squad had two far more hearalded centers, Jason Spezza and Antoine Vermette, but Kelly was the first to hoist the Stanley Cup. Yes, this is a garden variety Reebok that came from the NHL's website, but it celebrates an improbably run to a championship that was just thrilling to finally witness.
Thanks to Justin for taking the time to submit his jersey and share his story with us. We bet everyone would love the chance to add a "celebration jersey" to their collection at some point. As long suffering Minnesota North Stars fans, and now the Minnesota Wild, we know we would, as we've never experienced a Stanley Cup championship firsthand. It's also interesting to hear his choice of player, as we bet a large majority of Bruins jerseys were Zedeno Chara or Tim Thomas following the cup finals.
If you have a jersey in your collection that you'd like to share with us and your fellow readers, please submit your pictures and a story to go with it, no matter how brief or detailed, to spyboy1@gmail.com and we look forward to seeing your favorites!
