    I haven’t posted since game one since it’s been a rough week for us here. 
     

    We lost my father in law yesterday. 
     

    He fought a tough 2yr battle against lung cancer. 
     

    He was a first generation Greek immigrant who loved sports (and gambling). 
     

    Biggest Red Sox fan I ever knew. 
     

    The only condition he laid out when I asked for his daughters hand in marriage was that I root for the Sox’s.  Told him that was a small price to pay. 

     

    Although he wasn’t a die hard hockey fan, he always supported the bruins. Until his grandson became a die hard Habs fan that is. 
     

    We went to several Montreal Boston games over the years and he started to have a soft spot for Montreal, especially since my son loved them so much. 
     

    He loved Suzuki from the first day he saw him play. 
     

    All day long I’ve been thinking about how the greatest joy he ever had was when the Red Sox’s came back from 0-3 to beat the Yankees in 2004 to crush the bambino curse.  
     

    And all I can think of is that he if he was around he would have laid money on Montreal to come back and beat Tampa. He could never turn down a bet like that. 
     

    If we manage to come back and win the cup it will be because he had his hand in it. 
     

    Consider it his gift for his 8 yr old die hard grandson who’s celebrating his birthday this coming Monday July 12th. 
     

    Miss you so much already. 
     

    Hope you’re watching with us from above ❤️
     

     

    Our free will shows we can't be just physical so I'll bet you're right and he joined the Ghosts' chorus. Sure came up big when we sure needed it. God bless you all.
