Yes, the punchline is TERRIBLE!! There's also a good chance that this is your favorite one yet! (Go ahead, admit it, I won't tell anyone.)
Lots of fun with this one... too much fun actually. Could've been done way sooner, but every time I went to search for a reference online, I wound up re-watching half the game on YouTube. Little fun fact, the day after the big game they held a "Legends Classic", or something... it was Old-Timers and celebrities. I was a little bummed not to see Ray Bourque out there, but we had Neely, Rick Middeleton (my favorite as a kid), Orr number 4, and on the celebrity side, Jack Bauer was there! along with Tim Robbins, Denis Leary, lead man for the Dropkick Murphys, but the show stealer was the GOALIE, Bobby Farrelly, (creator/director of Dumb & Dumber, Something About Mary, Me Myself and Irene, Fever Pitch, etc.) who had a beercan goalie helmet! Dude played net with what looked like two 24-ounce cans on either side of his helmet, straws and all! (Sniff, sniff, my hero!)
One nice new addition to the strip, one that actually started with "Venom-Moss" is color-coded titles. Red with blue shadow for the sox, Blue with red for the Pats, and I assume you've figured out the Bruins and Celtics colors all by your little self.
TRIVIA TIME!!
Taking the letters "O M G" from the punchline, they can be rearranged to spell the last name of a Bruins goalie who played for us from the late 80's into the 90's. Name that goalie!
(Hint, you will need to use one of the letters twice.)
One final thought, I am eternally jealous of brother Tom and cousin Brian for actually being at the Winter Classic... ya bastards!

Trivia Answer:
Andy Moog
Whenever he made a great save, the crowd would yell, "MOOOOOOOG!!!" which often sounded like they were saying "BOOOOOOOO!!!". Just like Kevin Youkilis with "YOOOOOUUUUUK!!!", or Hans Moleman's "BOOO-URNS!"
