Bruins trade away great defenseman, Boston tradition

They might as well stop serving chowdah down at Quincy Market. Undock Ol' Ironsides, dig up Samuel Adams' grave, and raze the Boston Garden. All right, so they've already committed that last sacrilege, but Boston just isn't Beantown anymore now that the Boston Bruins have traded Ray Bourque to the Colorado Avalanche. Given the way the rumors were swirling this past week, the trade does not come as a shock, but Bourque's departure still stings the folks who have frequented Causeway Street over the past 21 years.
