“When I got traded to Boston, I thought it was tailor-made to my game the way this team exemplifies the heart and soul of what a hockey player should be made of. I was proud to come to this team and play hard for this team every night.”
—Gregory Campbell, with a pretty profound statement regarding his time as a Bruin, which began when he was traded to the spoked-B in 2010
Campbell has been recovering following surgery to his broken leg (see: infamous shot-blocking penalty kill shift), and is now back around the team. He spoke to media for the first time today since his injury.

CHICAGO STRONGER - BLACKHAWKS PRIDE STANLEY CUP T SHIRT -- Windy City Will Trump Boston Bruin Slogan
cubbytees.comTee Shirt For Chicago Blackhawks Versus The Boston Bruins In The Stanley Cup Finals - Boston May Be Strong, But Chicago Is Stronger.Cup Clash Of Original Six Squads WIll Lead To Epic Hockey Battle
Following the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombing, the nation rallied around Beantown and its “Boston Strong” motto, which has since been appropriated by its sports teams. We love Boston and support/admire its people, but don’t believe that the homicidal lunacy of two disturbed locals has rendered its teams invincible. This is about hockey, this is about O-6 pride, this is about the Cup.
Chicago is the City of Broad Shoulders – our town burned down, our winters are legendary, our Cubs have floundered for a century, yet we endure. Other cities may be strong, we’re stronger. The Bruins are strong, our Blackhawks are stronger.
I literally have no words for the above paragraphs. No words. My words packed up and took a vacation and they’re never coming back.
