Boston Bruins " For the team of the same name that played in the Canadian American Hockey League please see Boston Bruins ( CAHL ) . " The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston , Massachusetts . They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The team has been in existence since 1924 , entering the league as the first American based expansion franchise . They are also an Original Six team , along with the Toronto Maple Leafs , Detroit Red Wings , New York Rangers , Montreal Canadiens , and Chicago Blackhawks . Their home arena is the 17 , 565 capacity TD Banknorth Garden where it has played since 1995 , after leaving the Boston Garden which had been their home since 1928 . Franchise history . The Pre - World War II years . In 1923 , at the convincing of Boston grocery tycoon Charles Adams , the National Hockey League decided to expand to the United States . Adams had fallen in love with hockey while watching the Stanley Cup playoffs . He persuaded the NHL to grant him a franchise for Boston . With the Montreal Maroons , the team was one of the NHL ' s first two expansion teams . Adams ' first act was to hire Art Ross , a former star player and innovator , as general manager . Ross would be the face of the franchise for thirty years , including four separate stints as coach . Adams directed Ross to come up with a nickname that would portray an untamed animal displaying speed , agility , and cunning . Ross came up with " Bruins . " The team ' s bearlike nickname also went along with the team ' s original uniform colors of brown and yellow , which came from Adams ' grocery chain , First National Stores . The team played its first four seasons in the Boston Arena , which still stands today as the Matthews Arena . The team finished last in its inaugural season , and finished just a point out of the playoffs a year later . In their third season , 1926 – 27 , the team markedly improved . Ross took advantage of the collapse of the Western Hockey League to purchase several western stars , including the team ' s first great star , a defenseman from Fort Qu ' Appelle , Saskatchewan named Eddie Shore . The Bruins reached the Stanley Cup Final despite finishing only one game above . 500 , but lost to the Ottawa Senators . In 1929 the Bruins defeated the New York Rangers to win their first Stanley Cup . Standout players on the first championship team included Shore , Harry Oliver , Dit Clapper , Dutch Gainor , and goaltender Tiny Thompson . The 1928 – 29 season was the first played at Boston Garden , which Adams had built after guaranteeing his backers $ 500 , 000 in gate receipts over the next five years . The season after that , 1929 – 30 , the Bruins posted the best - ever regular season winning percentage in the NHL ( an astonishing . 875 , winning 38 out of 44 games , a record which still stands ) , but would lose to the Montreal Canadiens in the Final . The 1930s Bruins team included Shore , Thompson , Clapper , Babe Siebert and Cooney Weiland . The team led the league ' s standings five times in that decade . In 1939 , the team changed its uniform colors from brown and yellow to the current black and gold , and captured the second Stanley Cup in franchise history . That year , Thompson was traded for rookie goaltender Frank Brimsek . Brimsek had an award - winning season , capturing the Vezina and Calder Trophies , becoming the first rookie named to the NHL First All - Star Team , and earning the nickname " Mr . Zero . " The team skating in front of Thompson included Bill Cowley , Shore , Clapper and " Sudden Death " Mel Hill ( who scored three overtime goals in one playoff series ) , together with the " Kraut Line " of center Milt Schmidt , right winger Bobby Bauer , and left winger Woody Dumart . In 1940 Shore was traded to the struggling New York Americans for his final NHL season . In 1941 the Bruins won their third Stanley Cup after losing only eight games and finishing first in the regular season . It was their last Stanley Cup for 29 years . World War II and the " Original Six " Era . World War II affected the Bruins more than most teams ; Brimsek and the " Krauts " all enlisted after the 1940 – 41 Cup win , and lost the most productive years of their careers at war . Cowley , assisted by veteran player Clapper and Busher Jackson , was the team ' s remaining star . Even though the NHL had by 1943 been reduced to the six teams that would in the modern era be — erroneously — called the " Original Six " , talent was depleted enough that freak seasons could take place , as in 1944 , when Bruin Herb Cain would set the then - NHL record for points in a season with 82 . But the Bruins didn ' t make the playoffs that season , and Cain would be out of the NHL two years later . The stars would return for 1945 – 46 , and Clapper led the team back to the Stanley Cup Final as player - coach . He retired as a player after the next season , becoming the first player in history to play twenty NHL seasons , but stayed on as coach for two more years . Unfortunately , Brimsek was not as good as he was before the war , and after 1946 the Bruins lost in the first playoff round three straight years , resulting in Clapper ' s resignation . Brimsek was traded to the last - place Chicago Black Hawks in 1949 , ( citing a wish to help his brother with a business he was starting ) , followed by the unfortunate banning of young star Don Gallinger for life on suspicion of gambling . The only remaining quality young player who stayed with the team for any length was forward Johnny Peirson , who would later be the team ' s television color commentator in the 1970s . During the 1948 – 49 season for the Bruins , the original form of the " spoked - B " logo appeared on their home uniforms , with the following season saw the introduction of the same logo that would be used through the 1970s . The 1950s began with Charles Adams ' son Weston ( who had been team president since 1936 ) facing financial trouble . He was forced to accept a buyout offer from Walter A . Brown , the owner of the National Basketball Association ' s Boston Celtics and the Garden , in 1951 . Although there were some instances of success ( such as making the Stanley Cup Final in 1953 , 1957 , and 1958 , only to lose to the Montreal Canadiens each time ) , the Bruins mustered only four winning seasons between 1947 and 1967 . They missed the playoffs eight straight years between 1960 and 1967 . In 1954 , on New Year ' s Day , Robert Skrak , an assistant to Frank Zamboni , the inventor of the best known ice resurfacing machine of the time , demonstrated a very early model of the machine at Boston Garden to the team management , and as a result , the Bruins ordered one of the then - produced " Model E " resurfacers to be used at the Garden , the first known NHL team to acquire one of the soon - to - be - ubiquitous " Zambonis " for their own use . The Bruins ' Zamboni Model E , factory serial number 21 , eventually ended up in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in 1988 for preservation . During this period , the farm system of the Bruins was not as expansive or well - developed as most of the other five teams . The Bruins sought players not protected by the other teams and in 1958 signed Willie O ' Ree , the first black player in the NHL . In like fashion , the team signed Tommy Williams from the 1960 Olympic - gold medal winning American national men ' s hockey team — at the time the only American player in the NHL — in 1962 . The " Uke Line " — named for the Ukrainian heritage of Johnny Bucyk and Vic Stasiuk ( their linemate , Bronco Horvath , was largely Hungarian ) — came to Boston and enjoyed four productive offensive seasons even as the Bruins were struggling overall . Expansion and the Big Bad Bruins . Weston Adams repurchased the Bruins in 1964 after Brown ' s death and set about rebuilding the team . Adams signed a defenseman from Parry Sound , Ontario , named Bobby Orr , who entered the league in 1966 and would become , in the eyes of many , the greatest player of all time . He was announced that season ' s winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy for Rookie of the Year and named to the Second NHL All - Star Team . When asked about Orr ' s NHL debut game , October 19 , 1966 , against the Detroit Red Wings , then - Bruins coach Harry Sinden recalled : " Our fans had heard about this kid for a few years now . There was a lot of pressure on him , but he met all the expectations . He was a star from the moment they played the national anthem in the opening game of the season . " The Bruins then obtained young forwards Phil Esposito , Ken Hodge , and Fred Stanfield from Chicago in a deal that turned out to be very one - sided . Hodge and Stanfield became key elements of the Bruins ' success , and Esposito , who centered a line with Hodge and Wayne Cashman , would become the league ' s top goal - scorer and the first NHL player to break the 100 – point mark , setting many goal - and point - scoring records . Esposito remains one of four players to win the Art Ross Trophy four consecutive seasons ( the other three are Jaromir Jagr , Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe ) . With other stars like forwards Bucyk , John McKenzie , Derek Sanderson and Hodge , steady defenders like Dallas Smith and goaltender Gerry Cheevers , the " Big Bad Bruins " became one of the league ' s top teams from the late 1960s through the 1970s . In 1970 , a 29 – year Stanley Cup drought came to an end in Boston , as the Bruins defeated the St . Louis Blues in four games in the Final . Orr scored the game - winning goal in overtime to clinch the stanley Cup . The same season was Orr ' s most awarded — the third of eight consecutive years he won the James Norris Memorial Trophy as the top defenseman in the NHL — and he won the Art Ross Trophy , the Conn Smythe Trophy , and the Hart Memorial Trophy , the only player to win those four awards all in the same season . The 1970 – 71 season was , in retrospect , the high watermark of the Seventies for Boston . While Sinden temporarily retired from hockey to enter business ( he was replaced by ex - Bruin and Canadien defenceman Tom Johnson ) the Bruins ' set dozens of offensive scoring records : they had seven of the league ' s top ten scorers — a feat not achieved before or since — set the record for wins in a season , and in a league that had never seen a 100 – point scorer before 1969 ( Esposito had 126 ) , the Bruins had four that year . All four ( Orr , Esposito , Bucyk and Hodge ) were named First Team All - Stars , a feat matched in the expansion era only by the 1976 – 77 Canadiens . Boston were favorate to repeat as Cup champions , but ran into a roadblock in the playoffs . Up 5 – 1 at one point in game two of the quarterfinals against the Canadiens ( and rookie goaltender Ken Dryden ) , the Bruins squandered the lead to lose 7 – 5 . The Bruins never recovered and lost the series in seven games . While the Bruins were not quite as dominant the next season ( although only three points behind the 1971 pace ) , Esposito and Orr were once again one - two in the scoring standings ( followed by Bucyk in ninth place ) and they regained the Stanley Cup by defeating the New York Rangers in six games in the Finals . The 1972 Cup win is Boston ' s most recent to date . Rangers blue liner Brad Park , who came runner - up to Orr ' s five - year ( then ) monopoly , said , " Bobby Orr " was " — didn ' t make — the difference . " Boston continued to dominate through the 1970s ( despite losing Cheevers , McKenzie , Sanderson , and other stars to the World Hockey Association ) , only to come up short in the playoffs . Although they had three 100 – point scorers on the team ( Esposito , Orr , and Hodge ) , they lost the 1974 Final to the Philadelphia Flyers . Don Cherry stepped behind the bench as the new coach in 1974 – 75 . The Bruins stocked themselves with enforcers and grinders , and remained competitive under Cherry ' s reign , the so - called " Lunch Pail A . C . , " behind players such as Gregg Sheppard , Terry O ' Reilly and Stan Jonathan , and Peter McNab . Orr left the Bruins for the Hawks in 1976 , and retired after many knee operations in 1979 . The Bruins traded Esposito and Carol Vadnais for Brad Park , Jean Ratelle , and Joe Zanussi to the Rangers . They made the semifinals again , losing to the Flyers . Cheevers returned from the WHA in 1976 , and the Bruins got past the Flyers in the semifinals , but lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Cup . The story would repeat itself in 1978 - with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 + goal seasons , still the NHL record - as the Bruins made the Final once more , but lost to a Canadiens team that had recorded the best regular season in modern history , after which Johnny Bucyk retired , holding virtually every Bruins ' career longevity and scoring mark to that time . The 1979 semifinal series against the Habs proved to be Cherry ' s undoing . In the deciding seventh game , the Bruins , up by a goal , were called for having too many men on the ice in the late stages of the third period . Montreal tied the game on the ensuing power play and won in overtime . Never popular with Harry Sinden , by then the Bruins ' general manager , Cherry left the team in the off - season for the Colorado Rockies . At Madison Square Garden , on December 23 , 1979 , a New York Rangers fan stole Stan Jonathan ' s stick , hitting him with it during a post - game scrum . When other fans got involved , Terry O ' Reilly charged into the stands followed by his teammates . The game ' s TV commentator remarked that " they ' re going to pull that guy apart " . O ' Reilly , a future team captain , received an eight - game suspension for the brawl . TV Clip The Eighties and Nineties . Coupled with front - office dislike of Cherry ' s outspoken ways , 1979 saw new head coach Fred Creighton , a newly - retired Cheevers the following year , and the coming of Ray Bourque . The defenseman remained with the team for over two decades . The Bruins made the playoffs every year through the 1980s behind stars such as Park , Bourque , and Rick Middleton — and had the league ' s best record in 1983 behind a Vezina Trophy - winning season from ex - Flyer goaltender Pete Peeters — but usually did not get very far in the playoffs . By the late 1980s , Bourque , Cam Neely , Keith Crowder and Bob Sweeney would lead the Bruins to another Cup Final appearance in 1988 against the Edmonton Oilers . The Bruins lost in a four - game sweep , but created a memorable moment in the would - be fourth game when in the second period with the game tied 3 – 3 , a blown fuse put the lights out at the Boston Garden . The rest of the game was cancelled and the series shifted to Edmonton . The Oilers completed the sweep , 6 – 3 , back at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton , in what was originally scheduled as Game Five . Boston returned to the Stanley Cup Final in 1990 ( with Neely , Bourque , Craig Janney , Bobby Carpenter and rookie Don Sweeney , and former Oiler goalie Andy Moog and Rejean Lemelin splitting goaltending duties ) , but would again lose to the Oilers , this time in five games . In 1988 , 1990 - 92 , and 1994 , they defeated their Original Six arch - nemesis in the playoffs , the Montreal Canadiens , getting some revenge for a rivalry which had up to then been lopsided in the Canadiens ' favor in playoff action . In 1991 and 1992 , they suffered two consecutive Conference Final losses to the eventual Cup champion , the Mario Lemieux - led Pittsburgh Penguins . Since the 1993 season , Boston has not gotten past the second round of the playoffs despite the talent of Adam Oates , Rick Tocchet , and Jozef Stumpel . The 1993 season ended disappointingly for several reasons . Despite finishing with the second - best regular season record after Pittsburgh , Boston was swept in the first - round by the Buffalo Sabres . During the postseason awards ceremony , Bruin players finished as runner - up on many of the honors ( Bourque for the Norris , Oates for the Art Ross and Lady Byng Trophy , Joe Juneau [ who had broken the NHL record for assists in a season by a left - winger , a mark he still holds ] for the Calder Trophy , Dave Poulin for the Frank J . Selke Trophy , Moog for the William M . Jennings Trophy , and Brian Sutter for the Jack Adams Award ) , although Bourque made the NHL All - Star First Team and Juneau the NHL All - Rookie Team . In 1997 , Boston missed the playoffs for the first time in 30 years , having set the North American major professional record for most consecutive seasons in the playoffs . The late 1990s also saw the Bruins move from the Boston Garden to their new home , the FleetCenter , now known as the TD Banknorth Garden . Historically , their most bitter arch rivals have been the Montreal Canadiens , whom the Bruins have played a record 30 times in the playoffs . The Bruins also have a rivalry with the New York Rangers , much like the rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox , although the rivalry with the Habs ( the Canadiens nickname ) is much more intense . The 21st century . Despite a fifteen - point improvement from the previous season , the Bruins missed the playoffs in 2000 – 01 . Leading scorer Jason Allison led the Bruins . The following season , 2001 – 02 , the Bruins improved again with another thirteen points , winning their first Northeast Division title since 1993 with a core built around Joe Thornton , Sergei Samsonov , Brian Rolston , Bill Guerin , and the newly acquired Glen Murray . Their regular season success didn ' t translate to the postseason , as they lost in six games to the underdog eighth - place Canadiens in the first round . The 2002 – 03 season found the Bruins platooning their goaltending staff between Steve Shields and John Grahame for most of the season . A mid - season trade brought in veteran Jeff Hackett . The Bruins managed to finish seventh in the East , but lost to the eventual Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils in five games . In 2003 – 04 , the Bruins began the season with ex - Toronto Maple Leaf goalie Felix Potvin . Later in the season , the Bruins put rookie Andrew Raycroft into the starting role . Raycroft eventually won the Calder Award that season . The Bruins went on to win another division title and appeared to get past the first round for the first time in five years with a 3 – 1 series lead on the rival Canadiens . The Canadiens rallied back , however , to win three straight games , upsetting the Bruins . The 2004 – 05 NHL season was wiped out by a lockout , and the Bruins had a lot of space within the new salary cap implemented for 2005 – 06 . Bruins management eschewed younger free agents in favor of older veterans such as Alexei Zhamnov and Brian Leetch . The newcomers were oft - injured , and by the end of November , the Bruins team traded their captain and franchise player , Joe Thornton ( who went on to win the Art Ross and Hart Trophies ) . In exchange , the Bruins received Marco Sturm , Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau from the San Jose Sharks . After losing ten of eleven games before the trade ( while the Sharks won Thornton ' s first seven games in San Jose ) , the Bruins came back with a 3 – 0 victory over the league - leading Ottawa Senators , as rookie goaltender Hannu Toivonen earned his first career NHL shutout victory . When Toivonen went down ( for the rest of the season ) with an injury in January , journeyman goalie Tim Thomas started sixteen straight games and brought the Bruins back into the playoff run . Two points out of eighth place at the Winter Olympic break , the Bruins fired general manager Mike O ' Connell in March and the Bruins missed the playoffs for the first time in five years . They finished thirteenth in the Eastern Conference and earned the fifth pick in the NHL Draft Lottery , which they used to draft U . S . college player Phil Kessel , who dropped out of college early to sign with the team on August 17 , 2006 . Peter Chiarelli was hired as the new GM of the team . Head coach Mike Sullivan was fired and Dave Lewis , former coach of the Detroit Red Wings , was hired to replace him while Marc Habscheid and Doug Houda were named associate coaches . The Bruins signed Zdeno Chara , one of the most coveted defensemen in the NHL and a former NHL All - Star , from the Senators , and Marc Savard , who finished just three points short of a 100 – point season in ' 05 – ' 06 with the Atlanta Thrashers , to long - term deals . Bergeron was re - signed by the Bruins on August 22 , 2006 , to a multi - year contract , keeping the developing player on the team for some years to come . The 2006 – 07 season ended in the team finishing in last place in the division . The Bruins traded Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau to the Calgary Flames for Andrew Ference and forward Chuck Kobasew . The 2007 – 08 campaign saw the Bruins regain some respectability , finishing 41 – 29 – 12 ( 94 points ) and making the playoffs . Despite many injuries and questions about their offense , the Bruins pushed the top - seeded Canadiens to seven games in the first round of the playoffs before falling . Their performance , even in a losing cause , rekindled interest in the team in sports - mad New England , where the Bruins had lagged behind the Red Sox , Patriots and Celtics in popularity . On May 13 , the Bruins resigned second - leading scorer Chuck Kobasew to a multi - year extension . Rejuvenation in Boston . After the disappointing 2007 season , Lewis was fired as coach , and the Bruins announced on June 21 , 2007 , that Claude Julien had been named as the new head coach . The Bruins also unveiled a new logo , and a brand new shoulder patch closely based on the main jersey logo used until 1932 . The 2008 campaign saw the Bruins regain some respectability , finishing 41 – 29 – 12 and making the playoffs . Despite many injuries , the Bruins pushed the top - seeded Canadiens to seven games in the first round of the playoffs before falling . Their performance , despite a 5 - 0 loss in the seventh game , rekindled interest in the team in New England , where the Bruins had for years been heavily overshadowed by the Red Sox , Patriots and Celtics . After a slow start to the 2008 – 09 season , the Bruins won seventeen of their next twenty games leading many to see them as a revival of the " Big Bad Bruins " from the 1970s and ' 80s . During the 2009 All - Star Weekend ' s Skills Competition , captain Zdeno Chara fired the NHL ' s fastest measured " hardest shot " ever , with a clocked in speed of 105 . 4 mph ( 169 . 7 km / h ) velocity . The number of injured players in the season saw many call - ups from the Bruins ' AHL Providence Bruins farm team , with rookie defenseman Matt Hunwick and forward Byron Bitz seeing success . The Bruins went on to have the best record in the Eastern Conference and qualified for the playoffs for the fifth time in nine years , facing the Canadiens in the playoffs for the fourth time during that span , defeating them in a four game sweep before losing in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes in the conference semifinals . The 2009 summer off - season saw the departure of long - time defensive forward P . J . Axelsson from Sweden , who signed a multi - year contract with his hometown Frolunda HC team . With Maple Leafs G . M . Brian Burke threatening an offer sheet and Bruins management unable to meet his salary demands , forward Phil Kessel was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for a trio of future draft picks . On January 1 , 2010 , the Bruins won the 2010 NHL Winter Classic over the Philadelphia Flyers in a 2 - 1 overtime decision at Fenway Park , thus becoming the first home team to win an outdoor classic game . However , following the New Year ' s Day game , the Bruins , hobbled by injuries , would go through a five - week long period of lackluster play , with only two wins and compiling ten regulation losses earning them only eight points in the Eastern Conference standings in that 15 - game long period , before breaking the losing streak in an away game against the Canadiens on February 7 , with Tuukka Rask shutting out the Habs 3 - 0 . The win over the Canadiens was the first of four successive victories leading into the break in play for the NHL ' s participation in the 2010 Winter Olympics , and established Tuukka Rask as the number one goaltender for the Bruins , as Tim Thomas would only start eight of the 22 games remaining in the post - Olympic period of the season , with Rask winning eight of his post - Olympic starts , including two shutouts . The importance of former Sabre forward Daniel Paille ' s acquisition by the Bruins , and his emergence as a penalty killing forward , was emphasized on April 10 , 2010 , as Paille , Steve Begin , and Blake Wheeler combined for the first - ever known trio of short handed goals within one penalty kill , in only 1 : 04 of game time , in a home game against the Carolina Hurricanes , helping the Bruins to sixth place in the NHL Eastern Conference , and a 2010 NHL playoff opening round appearance against the Buffalo Sabres , which they won 4 games to 2 games . Boston became only the third team in NHL history to lose a playoff series after leading 3 - 0 when they lost in Game 7 to the Philadelphia Flyers after losing a 3 - 0 lead in the second round on May 14 , 2010 . On April 13 , 2010 the Boston Bruins received the second overall draft pick for the 2010 draft to be held in Los Angeles , CA at the Staples Center , selecting Tyler Seguin in the first round on June 25 , 2010 . After the season ended , Cam Neely was named on June 16 , 2010 as the new team president of the Bruins . The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup again in 2011 beating the Vancouver Canucks 4 - 3 in the final . " Unofficial " theme songs . When Boston television station WSBK - TV began showing Bruins games on television in 1967 , the television station ' s managers wanted to come up with a suitable piece of music to air for the introduction of each Bruins game . Because the Boston Ballet ' s annual Christmas performance of The Nutcracker had become closely identified with Boston , The Ventures ' instrumental rock version of the Nutcracker ' s overture , known as " Nutty " , itself likely being inspired by the somewhat earlier Nut Rocker , was selected as the opening piece of music for Bruins telecasts . The song " Nutty " has been identified with the Bruins ever since , even though NESN , who now airs almost all of the Bruins ' regular season and playoff games , has used a piece of original instrumental rock music for Bruins telecasts , that it also uses with all its Boston Red Sox televised games . The song " Nutty " is still sometimes played at the TD Banknorth Garden during Bruins games . " Nutty " has also been covered by a popular Boston Irish rock band , Dropkick Murphys . Dropkick Murphys have also written a song about the Bruins , called " Time To Go " , and have performed at Bruins games several times . In the early 1970s , WSBK ran a weekly highlights show hosted by Tom Larson . The instrumental song " Toad " by the late - 60s British supergroup Cream was the opening and closing theme for the show . On ice , the song " Paree , " a 1920s hit tune written by Leo Robin and Jose Padilla , has been played as an organ instrumental for decades , typically as the players enter the arena just before the start of each period . It was introduced by John Kiley , the organist for the Bruins , the Boston Red Sox and the Boston Celtics from the 1950s through the 1980s , and is still played during Bruins ' games . The song " Kernkraft 400 ( Sport Chant Stadium Remix ) " , by the band Zombie Nation , is also a popular song at Bruins games as it is played after every Bruins goal .
