Boston Blitz

Boston is without a doubt one of the most successful teams in the League, having made five straight postseason appearances along with having the best collective regular season record over a long period.

     Having had such success, it's no wonder that Boston has stuck with the same core team for the past several years, and 2011 looks to be no different with nearly their entire team being several year Blitz veterans.

     While this sticking with what works strategy is certainly easy to understand, their fans still nevertheless have to be wondering when the most important statistic, the Championship total, will finally rise above zero.  But in a competition that has as much parity as the League does, no one can really guess what might happen at the beginning of any season.  However, given how hard their team works, and their general level of sucess, it would be hard to not place the Blitz amongst the favorites to take down the title at the beginning of any season.  That being so, it seems probable that the stars will align soon to finally make it Boston's time to win it all.
