Boston Bruins Tickets

Boston Bruins belongs to one of the six original teams of NHL. NHL franchise was bought by Grocery magnate Charles Adams for $15,000 in 1924. Yellow and brown color of Bruins team was like those of Brookside grocery stores. Bruins had a bad first season with a depressive 6-24 record. Hockey fans in Boston were hopeless until 1928 when Boston Gardens opened. Boston Bruins were a strong squad for Stanley cup in three years time of their start. They played their first final against Ottawa Senators in 1927 and lost. But team’s struggle continued and they played against New York Rangers and defeated them to win Stanly Cup Championship.
Bruins missed many games in early 1960s. A strong passionate 37 year old Harry Sinden who never played in NHL took charge in 1966-67. Bruins started to twist the corner when their future celebrity defender Bobby Orr qualified for NHL. Orr changed the conventional defense strategy by top attacks and set of goals. He played 11 seasons in NHL and won a Calder trophy as rookie of the year in 1966-67. Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito provided the strong leadership that made it possible for Bruins to change their 29 year Stanley Cup terrible history. They played against St. Louis Blues, won four consecutive games, and made unforgettable history in NHL history. Bobby Orr scored the Stanley Cup winning goal against Blues defender Noel Picard. Sinden left because of a salary argument but team continued its top performance. In a seven game sequence they played against Montreal Canadiens and lost in the first round. This defeat proved to be a motivation for Bruins and they placed themselves at first position in 1971-72 season.
In 1990 Bruins had a chance to recover when they played against Oilers in Stanley Cup finals. They won one game this time but there was no contest for Mark Messier and Bill Ranford led Edmonton Oiler team. Boston missed contests in 1996-97 season that resulted in a change of coaching lines and Pat Burns was hired. Bruins were on their feet again under his rigid defensive format and young stars as Joe Thornton and Sergei Samsonov before they lost against Washington Capitals in a six game contest. Bruins traded Ray Bourque to the Colorado Avalanche. In 1990s they were the seventh winning team by qualifying for a Stanley Cup final and three conference finals.
Allison, Guerin, Thornton and Samsonov made Bruins a younger squad in 2000s. Allison and Guerin left due to financial issues and also a new coach Robby Ftorek was hired. Bruins sustained heir performance but had not enough resources to get profound in NHL contests.
