“Congratulations! You are most similar to:
Milan Lucic
Left Wing
You're easy-going but physically imposing when challenged,
and pressure situations never faze you.”
That’s the message I saw at Boston.com, after I took the “Which
Bruins player are you” quiz. My wife administered the ten-question,
multiple-choice assessment minutes after the B’s dispatched the Black Hawks, 2–1
in OT of Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final.
It was close. With a little more luck, Chicago might have
won; with a little more thought on the questions, I might have selected
different answers to questions such as these: What’s your favorite Boston neighborhood? What do you think
of Justin Bieber? How do you answer questions about Tim Thomas? What’s your
favorite city to visit? What do you do for lunch? What’s your source for Bruins
news?
I tend to bring my lunch to work AND snack lightly
throughout the day. And I get my Bruins news from multiple sources. But the
quiz allows you to pick but one answer.
No offense to Number 17, but I’m not a punch-you-in-the-mouth,
run-you-over type guy. Power to the people, not power forward. So I waited a
day or two and took the test again.
In most cases, I made the same choices. Different answers on
two questions, though, yielded a different result:
“Congratulations! You are most similar to:
Andrew Ference
Defenseman
You're a selfless free-thinker who believes small gestures
can add up to great achievements.”
I bring home my plastic recyclables from work and flatten my
Kashi cereal boxes so that they too can be recycled. I’m a defense-first sort
of dude that loves the North End.
I don’t live in that neighborhood, but enjoying breakfast with
my wife at Boston
Common or a few slices at Regina Pizzeria—where
Number 21 brought the Cup in 2011—liberates me from my worries and infuses me
with purpose. Love life and help others. Support the Bruins, win or lose.
Winning at least one more game in Chicago will be a test. I
trust that Lucic and Ference, and all of us like them, will prevail.
