“I rise to also support House Resolution 452 for consideration this afternoon. I do think it takes note again for the young people that are here that this is not just about winning and losing a hockey game, but more about the hard work and determination and teamsmanship that goes into a championship effort; and for that, the Red Wings are certainly to be congratulated for the skill, tenacity, and dominance with which they finished the regular season and then clinched the President's trophy. They have done a great job. They deserve all the credit. For a Boston Bruins fan like myself, it is always difficult to understand that once again the Stanley Cup slipped away, but it went to a team who had a great year, was a very deserving; and we want to make sure that everybody acknowledges this important feat as well as the hard work of Mr. Bowman as the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Shays) said, the team captain and other players there.”
