Over The Years With The Boston Bruins
If you know anything at all about hockey, then you know that one thing you do not want to do is walk up to a fan of the sport in Massachusetts, or anywhere in New England for that matter, and tell them you do not like the Boston Bruins. Good luck to you and I hope you are wearing body armor. In New England, they take their Bruins seriously all the way from Boston itself to Caribou, Maine. The team is one of the "original six" in the National Hockey League and has a rich background and history. Here we are going to look more closely at the famous franchise.
The Bruin team was brought together 1924 as the first American team to join the National Hockey League. For years the league was beset with numerous commercial conflicts. However it finally took hold as a viable enterprise during World War II, in 1942. It consisted of six teams (thus the name "Original Six", one of which was the Boston franchise.)
The beginning years, the years prior to the War, were not bad for the team. It took the only three years to find themselves competing for the coveted Stanly Cup. It was then that they accumulated Eddie Shore, who would later be in the Hall of Fame. By 1929 they had become a team to take seriously having won the 1928-1929 Stanly Cup by beating the New York Rangers. The next year they boasted an amazing 38-6 record, a win percentage that has still yet to be topped.
The team would again bring home the Cup in 1939 and 1941 with victories over the Maple Leafs and the Red Wings respectively. But from 1942 until 1970, Bruins fans were tormented with one disappointment after another. It was especially horrible being a fan of the team during the stretch between 1959-67. They did not even make it to the playoffs once during that entire time.
So, when the 1969-70 season rolled around, fans went crazy with excitement. Boston finished second in their division and got a spot in the playoffs. From that point it was like destiny. In the first round, they beat New York 4-2. Then in the second round it was the Chicago Blackhawks who were trounced 4-0.
The excitement in Boston and surrounding areas was blatant in hockey fans. After so long, their team finally had a chance to win the top prize. And that they did. They faced the St. Louis Blues, who frankly never had a chance at all. They were dismantled by the Bruins 4-0.
When people look back at that championship team, invariably two names arise, Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito. They both contributed mightily to that great Boston season. Orr went on to be regarded as one of the, if not the greatest, defenseman of all time. Esposito would make his mark as one of the games most prolific scorers.
It is worth mentioning that the Bruins have made it to the playoffs every year from 1969 until 1997, an impressive feat for sure. Even today, the team still remains among the most competitive in the league. It is no wonder that Bruin fans are as ardent about their team as they ever were.
