Since he joined such a talented team, I believe it takes a little of the accomplishment away from Bourque if he wins it. Obviously, as you can tell, I am not a resident of the Boston area. I still find it hard to believe that the Bruin fans root so hard for the Avalanche. When Chris Chelios left the Chicago Blackhawks for the Red Wings, he was mostly booed by the Chicago fans. This treatment of a player leaving a team just because it is losing, I understand.
Loyalty is something to be admired, too.
However, I really don't have anything against Ray Bourque. He can do what he wants with his career. But when the media shoves his story and quest for the Cup in my face, I can't help but think that other people have worked just as hard as he has for the chance to win the Cup. In Major League Baseball, there are many players who have never even been to the World Series. In the NBA, many players have not reached the top either.
