About The Boston Bruins
By their third season (1926-27) the team’s performance had greatly improved. The Bruins reached the Stanley Cup Finals that year, even though they finished one game above 500. Sadly, they lost to the Ottawa Senators. Boston Bruins tickets increased in 1929, when the team won their first Stanley Cup, defeating the New York Rangers. The championship team included notable players like Dit Clapper, Harry Oliver, Dutch Gainor and Tiny Thompson who was the goaltender.
Boston Bruins ticket holding fans were pleased when, during the 1929-30 season, the team posted the best-ever regular season winning percentage in the NHL. Their record of winning 38 out of 44 games still stands. However, the Bruins lost to the Montreal Canadiens in the Finals.
In 1941, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup championship for the third time after losing only eight games and finishing first place in the regular season. This was their last Stanley Cup for 29 years, but ticket-holding fans never lost faith in the team.
World War II greatly affected the Boston Bruins. Top players Brimsek and the “Krauts” enlisted after the team’s 1940-41 Cup win, and ended up losing the most productive years of their hockey career while they were away at war. The Boston Bruins ticket sales also suffered too because of the war, and the NHL was reduced to a mere six teams in 1943. These teams would be later referred to as the “Original six”
In 1944, the Boston Bruins’ Herb Cain set the NHL record for points in a season with 82 points. Sadly, the Bruins did not make the Playoffs that season. Herb Cain left the NHL two years later.
A milestone in the NHL occurred January 18th, 1958 when Willie O’Ree, the very first African-Canadian person ever to play in the NHL, played for the Boston Bruins. Willie O’Ree played in 45 games for the Bruins (1957-58 and 1960-61 seasons), he scored a total of six goals and ten assists in his NHL career. This wonderful milestone contributed to an increase in sales of Boston Bruins tickets.
The Boston Bruins tickets were certainly in high demand as the team won the 2008-09 Division Championship. The team may not have won a Stanley Cup since 1972, but the ticket-holding fans believe that this team will lift the Stanley cup again.
