The Boston Bruins are probably the most unpredictable team in the NHL this year. After performing below expectations last year, the team has seen a major shakeup in coaching and management. Some key trades have given the Boston Bruins a chance to play among the best in the league this season, and the coaching shake-up could provide the boost they need to get back to the top of their division and score a play-off berth. A game at the Garden this season will combine a sense of history and greatness from such a storied team and a sense of excitement and unease about the Bruins future. It should make for a great drama this year! The Boston Bruins play hockey in the Northeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The franchise was founded in 1924 as the first American NHL team. The Boston Bruins managed to win 3 Stanley Cups before World War II would decimate the team, as many of the star Bruins enlisted. The Boston Bruins would struggle until they signed Bobby Orr in 1966. The “Big Bad Bruins” would compete with the best of the league during the 1970’s, winning 2 Stanley Cups. The ‘80s and ‘90s also showed the Boston Bruins to be strong contenders nearly every year, even though they wouldn’t win another Stanley Cup. The team has struggled since the turn of the century and hopes to regain their past glory this season. The Boston Bruins play in the TD Banknorth Garden, formerly the Fleet Center, an arena that holds nearly 19,000. The arena puts the Boston Bruins directly in the center of Boston and connects it with major transportation networks via the city’s North Station, making it easy to get there to see a game.
