The Bruin, the Sabre and the Flyer
May 14, 2010, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Adapted from Aesop’s Fables
A Bruin and a Sabre seized a puck at the same moment and fought fiercely for its possession. When they had fearfully lacerated each other and were faint from the long combat, they lay down exhausted with fatigue. A Flyer, who had gone round them at a distance several times, saw them both stretched on the ice with the puck lying untouched in the middle. He flew in between them, and seizing the puck flapped off as fast as he could. The Bruin and the Sabre saw him, but not being able to get up, said, “Woe be to us, that we should have fought and belabored ourselves only to serve the turn of a Flyer.”
Moral: It sometimes happens that one man has all the toil, and another all the profit.

As a Bruin, I can say that in this case the toil this year has been worth enough for me.
Days come, days go. The future is unwritten.
And I am so looking forward to the future.
Bruin wisdom. Bird looks to the rafters to find Orr’s number emblazoned.
