'Bergeron, Joue Les Héros'
Brighton Reader sends in a compilation of front pages about the Bruins’ Stanley Cup win, with the note, “More from the Great White North.” … Note the French newspaper with a local positive spin. I know some French-Canadians from Montreal who were rooting for the Bruins. The B’s may be their inter-divisional rivals, but they couldn’t bring themselves to cheer for another Canadian (Anglo) team, sort of the way some Bostonians will occasionally root for a New York team under the right alternative-villain circumstances.
