The Celtics had a couple of years where they were competitive and then relapsed to mediocrity. You don’t create a rivalry from that when you otherwise only play a team twice per year. It’s barely a playoff team now in a league where most of the league makes the playoffs.

The blue line is great if you’re going to Reveah. Not many people who live in Reveah fly out of Logan and there’s zero tourist and business traffic. I’ve done the North Station/Blue Line shuffle to Logan many times loaded with ski gear. It’s awful.

Would it have been easier to have taken ski gear on the air train in NYC or the commuter trains in Paris or Tokyo?

Boston has a sports rivalry with NY, LA, Montreal. For us sports fanatics. It is a rivalry.

That's not everyone. Unless you think three cities is everyone, Boston does not revolve around everyone else. Its hardly even mentioned outside New England and a handful of cities.

When I think rivalry in Boston its only NYC and Philly. Montreal must be something hockey but that's sort of a niche sport with high levels of support from that niche.

You're not gonna see much Hockey on ESPN- they've got like 1 analyst, Barry Melrose.

Yeah im partial to hockey since that is the sport I grew up playing.

Philadelphia i can see with eagles and maybe flyers. I despise the Flyers. So i could see that.

But its all MLB NHL NBA NFL dependent. As long as a team in one sport (Bruins and Habs) have a rivalry its a go for me.

Since when has Boston had a sports rivalry with Philly? 76ers/Celtics? If so, that one’s even more dried up than Lakers/Celtics.

No no no.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76ers%...eltics_rivalry

The 76ers–Celtics rivalry is a National Basketball Association (NBA) rivalry between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Boston Celtics. The two teams have the most meetings in the NBA playoffs, playing each other in 21 series (and the 1954 Eastern Division Round Robin), with the Celtics winning 14 of them.[1] The 76ers are considered to be the Celtics' second greatest rival, after the Los Angeles Lakers.

There was

Bill Russel vs Wilt

Bird vs Dr. J

AI's squad vs. Pierce's squad

Philly current young core vs. ours.

And we play in the same division

We've seen the Sixers in the playoffs in 2018 and 2020. So way more recent than the Lakers (2010) and we play them twice as often in general

They "stole" Al Horoford from us. But also Vincent Poirier and Amir Johnson recently.

We played the Eagles in the super bowl in 2017. And the Flyers are a natural rival as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruins...Flyers_rivalry

I took a bunch of lab equipment on the RER from CDG once. That was pretty easy. You push the trolley from baggage claim right to the train. There are porters. People wheel huge amounts of luggage onto airport trains all the time. Good luck doing that taking a bus to the Blue Line airport stop and then trying to get to North Station.

Heathrow Express is the same way. Trolley from baggage claim right to the train. Porters. Same at Paddington in the city. London doesn’t want cars at Heathrow. I’ve brought a ton of stuff in for trade shows a few times.

Other than the 28-3 game, it’s been basketball-only. The Phillies are an NL team. The Eagles are an NFC team. It’s been unusual for the Bruins and Flyers to be good at the same time.
