Yea a history of choking and underachieving. One cup in 50 years is laughable
Stupid music is drowning out what these great players are saying.
New barn ain't the same. Should have renovated & kept the old Gahd'n. We tossed the baby out with the bathwater.🤔🏒
Absolutely loved the old Garden!!
Saw numerous games there "back in the day"…LOVED IT! Still remember every game attendance being SRO, 13,909.
Wikkid big bonah, kid.
I love the way that building shook when everybody started
The fog game,, crazy! Who else is pissed off that they tore down such a historic arena?
Bourque….highly, highly overrated.
What the Edmonton Oilers did to the Boston Bruins in 1987-88 and 1989-90 is beyond words. The Oilers just made them look like pee-wees. I cannot believe the sheer handling of the Bruins by Edmonton in both series. The Bruins were good enough to win at least one Cup in either year. Except Edmonton was almost always ready to beat anyone. No team can be perfect but if there was a textbook on how to win and win on a consistent basis, Gretzky's Oilers or Messier's Oilers wrote it. No doubt about this at all.
Were the fans right on top of you though?
Whenever I see Bobby Orr interviewed it brings a smile to my face.
He's one of my Hockey Heroes!
Years ago while playing in an Adult Hockey Summer League, our first game was on the same night the Baseball Team I Coached also had a game. I did not have much time between games, when our ball game ended I tossed our Team's equipment bags into the bed of my pick-up truck along side of my hockey bag and raced from the ballpark to the arena arriving less then ten minutes before puck drop. I found our dressing room and put on my equipment in record time (for me). As we were heading out to the ice our Player / Coach was tossing us our jerseys, I started to put on the one he gave me when I saw that he gave me # 4.
Even though the Ref and Linesman and most of the Players from both Teams were already on the ice I stopped in my tracks and told him to "Give me another Number …. I'm not good enough to wear # 4! Which he did.
The last two Guys to hit the ice were me and one of my Teammates who ended up being my defence partner. We had the first shift, the pace of play was fast and coming right at us and we were calling out to each other …. saying things like "What's your name"? and "What side do you want, Left or Right?" We ended up having a solid season, he could really skate and often rushed the puck up ice, while I stayed home and blocked shots and was our Enforcer when called upon.
Fun Memories!
I remember the first time my dad took me to my first Bruins game in 1974 – I was 8 years old — and when we stepped out of the concourse tunnel into the main arena the first thing that hit me was how SMALL the inside was compared to how it looked on TV. It was such a tiny band box of an arena. We had Loge seats and I remember turning around and looking up at the balcony behind us and the players in this video are dead on when they speak about how STEEP the balcony was and how close the overhang was to the boards. It must have been intimidating as hell to be on the ice and feel so surrounded.
for me a man who askes to be traded to go win a cup elsewhere is not considered a true bruins like bourque did
Chicago Stadium baby !
That American city is probably the most Hockey loving town in the USA, even though it’s a Canadian game. They embraced it the Best.
I think some of you Bruins fans are upset that we got Krushelnyski for Linseman back in 1984. So what ? Krushelnyski was maybe a better player than Linseman but the Oilers were going to win 5 or 6 Cups in a row anyway if the stupid NHL didn't change rule after rule to benefit the other 20 teams. Of course everyone knew the Oilers could scored 16 or 17 goals in a game and smash that pathetic record held by the 1919-20 Montreal Canadiens when they scored 16 goals (still a record). But rules are rules, as they say. I suppose you know how pathetic the other 20 teams are when they have to change 4 on 4 rules and not power play rules. I mean, it's a 4 on 4 and everyone except the Oilers and their fans were whinning that it was a 5 on 3 for Edmonton. I know a certain ex Bruins forward named Dave Poulin was the most offended. I can't see how it's a power play though unless of course that jealousy sets in, right Dave ?
The Oilers scored 13 goals on 3 occasions, lastly in the playoffs when they destroyed the Kings 13-3 on 9 April 1987. The shots were 45-14 for Edmonton. Probably should have scored 20 goals…but you get the point.
I always remember how the smell of the Circus with all the animals lingered long after they left the building.
