What’s a fan to do when their team loses the Stanley Cup on home ice in arguably the most heartbreaking way possible? Well, if you’re a Bruins fan, apparently you watch a lot of porn.
Popular porn site PornHub.com (which, no, we’re not linking to, you pervy pervs) was closely monitoring traffic during Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Bruins and Blackhawks. The site suffered from decreased traffic throughout the game, but they received a big bump in Boston immediately following the Bruins’ stunning 3-2 loss.

Here’s the official press release from PornHub:
“Last night marked the end of the NHL Championships, and much like the NBA Finals did, the battle for the Cup managed to take users away from their beloved porn once more. Until, of course the end of the game marking the Bruins’ loss, which saw all of Boston turning to Pornhub to take out some of that pent up aggression.
“That’s right — the statisticians at Pornhub.com carefully analyzed each hour of the game to track traffic changes in Chicago, Boston, and across the US by the hour; comparing each location relative to the rest of the country.”
