Thirsty Thursday's With Vicki

Boston Sports Fans!

Ever since college, I've really gotten into watching sports especially the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. I've been around sports my whole entire life! I played softball, basketball, field hockey, soccer, and figure skating. Then there was my brother who played hockey, and baseball. Between the two of us, we were always at some type of sporting event.

Down in Fenway living up Soxtober!

Since I went to college right out side of Boston, it was easy for me to get into Boston Sports, especially when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2007. Being down near Fenway, with all the fans throughout the series was unbelievable. I loved dressing up, and just partying away on the streets with my friends while cheering for the Sox. I think it's even more fun now to be down there now that I'm over 21. The bars and clubs are so much fun to be at before, during, and after game time! Lucky for me, I've been able to get a to a few games for free. One of the best ones I went to was with my friend Joel last season. It was the first Red Sox vs. Yankees game of the season and I went for free... (Guess I couldn't complain!)

Throughout college, I was lucky enough to attend three different New England Patriots games (once again for free), with one of them being club seats! Not too bad huh? I never really grew up around football, so for me it's been a little difficult learning the game. There's so many technicalities, I just don't even know where to begin! But ever since the start of this season began, I've really gotten into watching the Patriots games, and haven't missed one yet! I now love celebrating Sunday Football with friends, especially non-Patriots fans. It's always fun to see their faces cringe during every touch down, considering the Pats are having an awesome season thus far! 

My friend Jess brought me to a Pat's game last season!
So much fun!

But, my absolute favorite sport to watch is the Boston Bruins!  My brother played the sport from the age of 3 until he hit high school, so I was constantly freezing my butt of at hockey rink. But I sure loved going to the hockey tournaments with my family and his attractive teammates :) It's also the one sport I understood very well, and enjoy following. Since the Bruins won the Stanley Cup last year, I've been trying to follow them closely, and keep up on the teams and players stats. Unfortunately, I never made it to the parade last year in Boston, but I made sure to catch all the playoff games with my close friends over the summer! I love it all: The fights, the blood, and the good looking men!

After they won the Stanley Cup, the Bruins traveled to Shrine, a nightclub at Foxwoods Casino
racking up a $156k bar tab ($100,000 of it went towards one bottle of champagne!
Yup, Boston knows how to party! 

Tyler Seguin is my fave on the team, one because he's beautiful and two because he's one of the best players in the NHL at the moment, and is only 19 years old! Thorton isn't too bad either!!! Unfortunately, Seguin missed a few important team meetings, and was forced to sit out on this past Tuesday's game. Even more unfortunate was that the Bruins ended losing to the Winnepeg Jets on Tuesday night, ending their 15 game point streak.

I've been able to attend two different Bruins games over the past few years with my best friend, Courtney. We went to a game a few weeks ago when they played The Blue Jackets, and the game ended up going into double OT, and the Bruins won in a shootout!

GO BOSTON!!!!!

Some new friends and I from this past weekend!

Oh, and there were more....but he sure isn't just a Boston fan as you can see!
