I don't spend a lot of time here in New York. I didn't realize there were so many Bruins fans in New York.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Here's the thing: I had never been to Boston, my whole life. Probably because I'm a Yankee fan.
It's an interesting dynamic living in New York in general as a Boston fan. It's kind of fun that way. It's fun to be the contrarian when everyone hates you as long as your team is winning.
In New York, I run into Packers fans who have never lived in Wisconsin, Canadiens fans who have never lived in La Belle Province, Celtics fans who admire Russell and Bird and Pierce but have no trace of a Boston accent.
New York is great, but the New England fans are probably the most knowledgeable and ardent fans, and not just in baseball, but all sports. But Red Sox Nation is Red Sox Nation.
For a Bostonian... we live in the shadow of New York, and to be acknowledged by New Yorkers is really the greatest feeling.
The excitement of the fans in Montreal, especially in the playoffs, I don't think you can get that anywhere else. For a hockey player, I kind of wish everyone could go through that and experience what it is to play there. It's very unique.
There are an awful lot of people out there that don't want to see Boston go away, and I'm one of them.
I am a huge hockey fan.
I fell in love with Boston, so hopefully, I'll be here for a long time.
I have a nice following in Boston. The Boston crowd is very hip.
