Based in downtown Boston, Massachusetts, the Boston Bruins are a professional men's ice hockey team. They are a part of the Northeast Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The organization has been in existence since 1924 when it entered the league as the first American based expansion team. The team's home arena, the TD Banknorth Garden, has a capacity of 17,565 and is where home games have been played since 1995. Before the TD Banknorth Garden, the team had played at the Boston Garden since 1928.
The Bruins have won the Stanley Cup five times but currently have the longest drought (36 years) out of any Boston sports organization for winning a title. In only their fifth year as an organization, they captured their first Cup in 1929. With a very strong team in the late 30’s and early 40’s the B’s won titles in 1939 and again in 1941. The team was strong again in the early 1970’s when they would go on to win two more titles in 1970 and 1972. The 1970 Stanley Cup featured one of the most historic goals of all time by Bobby Orr, the Bruins captain, when he went sailing through the air in overtime to deflect a shot in the net to win the team’s most recent championship.
The 2008 Bruins made the playoffs but lost to the Montreal Canadiens in a tight seven games in the Conference Quarterfinals. The 2009 Bruins came back even better, finishing at the top of the standings by the end of the season with a 53-19 record. They faced off against the Canadiens again in the opening round, but this time advanced. They met the Carolina Hurricanes in the semis, falling just short of winning the series in seven games. Boston should be stronger than ever this year with a veteran staff alongside All-Star goalie Tim Thomas. Back with Thomas will be team captain Zdeno Chara leading the defense with Milan Lucic and Marco Sturm guiding the high intensity offense. With their line up in place the Bruins should be able to get back into the post-season with hopes of advancing to the Stanley Cup finals once again.
