Boston Bruins Tickets

Boston Bruins information, 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 7 games in the Conference Quarterfinals. Despite their early round loss last season, there is a lot of promise right now within the organization. They are led by Zdeno Chara as their captain along with assistants Marco Sturm, Andrew Ference, Patrice Bergeron, and P.J. Axelsson. The B's are currently on top of the Northeast Division and will look to receive a top seed for the playoffs. With this veteran staff and All-Star goalie Tim Thomas, the Bruins should be able to create a lot of success in the upcoming post-season.
