The Boston Bruins, along with their fellow Original Six members (Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, and New York Rangers), are one of the all-time great NHL franchises. Of the league's current 32 teams, the Bruins rank fourth in total Stanley Cup Finals appearances (20). Of the Original Six, the Bruins have the worst Finals winning percentage: 300 (6-14). Still, that's six championships which is more than 27 other NHL franchises can say. In the last 50 years, Boston has only won one Stanley Cup and it didn't come easy. The Bruins faced the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Finals, a series that went the distance. The Bruins came out on top, 4-3, thanks to strong performances in Games 6 and 7. The squad was led by goalie Tim Thomas, "Big Z" Zdeno Chara, winger Milan Lucic, and center David Krejci. That year, Thomas went on to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (Stanley Cup Finals MVP) and both Thomas and Chara were named to the NHL's All-Star Teams. Lucic and Krejci were drafted by the Bruins in 2006 and 2004, respectively. Claude Julien was the coach of the 2011 championship team. He led Boston to two Stanley Cup Finals appearances in three seasons (2011 and 2013). However, the Bruins also missed the playoffs two years in a row in 2015 and 2016. Julien was eventually fired in the middle of the 2016-17 season. Throughout the Bruins' history, dating back to the 1924-25 season, the team has rarely missed the playoffs two straight years or more. The Bruins consistently qualify for the playoffs, year in and year out. Ray Bourque and Johnny Bucyk, both in the Hockey Hall of Fame, are the franchise's all-time points leaders. Bourque spent 21 seasons in Boston (1976-77 through 1999-2000). He never won a Stanley Cup with the Bruins, but he did with the Colorado Avalanche and retired shortly thereafter (2001). Bucyk helped lead the Bruins to two Stanley Cup championships in 1970 and 1972. Like Bourque, Bucyk spent 21 seasons in Boston (1957-58 through 1977-78). The "Chief" retired a Bruin in 1978. He still holds the franchise record in goals with 545 and Bourque holds the record in assists with 1,111. read more

Jeremy swaymans contract is the worst the Bruins have ever signed !!! should trade him and bring Dipietro up to back up korpisalo

Stopped in at the TD Garden this evening for Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins. Fun game and the Bruins managed to eke out the win in overtime. It seemed to me like they were playing a little sloppy with a lot of missed opportunities, cold puck play and general exhaustion by the team. Yep, they won but only because the Hurricanes were worse. Still, it was a fun game and even in the nosebleed section it was worth watching! read more

My 1st Bruins game and 1st trip to DA GARDEN and it was epic. Having never scene the Bruins play before I decided to grab a pair of tickets and go. What an exciting team to watch. Fast paced action, however no slap shot type fighting with the Hanson Brothers happened ( shucks ). Hell even I had the foil on in case some Bostonian thug got out of line. But no brawls happened so I was reduced to watching Vancouver crush the Bruins. Hell , I prefer Vancouver winning anyways I'm from the Great NW. But the Bruin experience was fast and fun and will come to another game when I'm in town. read more

Hello iam just concerned about how the last game of the season, and you can't bother to show it on the regular channels..you showed last night's game and now tonight you don't... Iam guessing you don't care about your fans here in Canada.. read more

The BRUINS ARE THE BEST! How to write a review about my favorite hockey team? I never hesitate to jump at the chance to go to a B's game. The team brings great game play and action so the arena doesn't have to inundate you with cheesey matching games or ketchup bottle chasing a mustard bottle. You're here for the hockey. From my experiences, the Garden is always clean. It's a comfortable temperature so you don't have to bundle in your winter coat the whole game. But the only con is that you now have to hold that coat on your lap, where there is already zero room at your seat. The seats are crammed together. Get ready to be friends with your neighbors. read more

Single greatest night of my life. A big congratulations to the team, the staff and the organization, except for our crappy owner Jeremy Jacobs. Despite Mayor 'Mumbles" Menino's efforts to ruin all of the fun by shutting down the TD Garden for game 7 along with downtown earlier tonight, I look forward the parade. I'm honored and thrilled to have been to all but two home games this season. This roster was special and extra props to Thomas, Bergeron, Marchand, Seindenberg, Chara and Recchi. 2011 Stanley Cup champions!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! read more

I can't believe I'm the first to recognize the Bruins on Yelp in the city of Boston. Whats wrong with this city. These guys are part of the original six and have been legands in this town forever .Enough about the Red Sox, one hang nail and the rest of the season is in question,and god forbid it should start to rain.Boo hoo hoo!! These guys give their all every game. Maybe I'm spouting but I've been watching the"Black & Gold "since they were on TV in black and white. No helmets,no shoot outs!! These guys need your true fanship,not just when The Stanly Cup is possible. Show up and rock The Garden read more

They've done a LOT of work at the Garden in the offseason. The concourse on the Loge level is completely re-done. It looks great! They appear to be in the middle of re-doing the floor on the Balcony concourse right now - as of yesterday. I took my son to a 1 pm game against the Avalanche. Aside from the horrible ending which had the Avs scoring the winning goal with .4 seconds remaining, it was great. My only complaint is the concession pricing. It really is outrageous. Oh well, that's the story everywhere I suppose. read more

Boston Bruins - Day with Daddy - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'll be the first to admit that the Bruins have seen better years. This season has been a bit of a struggle, but that doesn't take away from the experience of going to a live Boston Bruins game at TD Garden. Depending on where you sit, you can have a totally different experience at the game. I've sat in both Loge 4 (11th row) and way up in the nosebleeds in the very last row. I've had positives and negatives in both, and can honestly say that just being at the game is such a great experience that it's really worth it for any Bruins fan. I definitely look forward to going to more games in the future :) Go BRUINS! read more

Had a suite with a group of others and it was nice, plenty of food and drink. I've been to see them in the lower seats and it's a nice place wherever you sit. Fans are into the game and usually it's a competitive game which keeps it interesting. read more

Boston Bruins - Heading for his suite - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Honestly, if Lord Stanley had intended for Vancouver to take series, methinks his trophy would've been called the Stanley Litre. He knew it, we knew it, they knew it. An amazing effort on the ice, reaping rewards no number of stars could quantify, and - in Marchand's case - on the mic, emerging as the whitest rapper the world has ever seen. blackandyellow|blackandyellow|blackandyellow|blackandyellow read more

SHUT UP. THEY ARE REVIEW-ABLE? SHUUUUT UUUUP. This year, JUNE BRUIN'S HOCKEY?! I SAID, SHUT UP. I watch the cup every year, I do just because I really enjoy the sport that much, just like I watch the world series each year regardless of Sox and B's..... WELL FOR THE B'S TO BE IN THE FRIGGEN CUP ARE YOU SERIOUS..... THAT IS A DREAM COME TRUE. I'm so happy I got to witness this incredible time. I've averaged, starting in high school about 10-12 games per season for the B's. In recent years with ticket prices rising and money is bad, that had to dwindle to 5 and that makes me so upset because when I was in HS we'd get $10 tickets and practically sit at the glass. I've been in trouble with my bf for wanting to watch the B's more than seeing him. I've told him, they've been around before you in my life and they'll be around after. Serious. Love. Affair. read more

I could sit down and write pages, for hours, and still be far from complete on why - win or lose - the Boston Bruins are an organization that is unlike any other, and epitomize the culture and essence of hockey and the city of Boston. I have been a fan ever since I could remember, and the reasoning goes beyond the sports level and down to the personal and "real" level in which Bruins players, throughout the years, have carried themselves on and off the ice. There is something about this organization that enriches the already unique and "real" personality and characteristics of hockey players, and something about this city that welcomes them and encourages them both for being strong, rough players, yet humble and true in their relationship with fans and the city they play for. The same guys that go out and play with every ounce of determination, skill, strength and fearlessness are the same that make time to sign autographs and chat with youth hockey fans after practice at Ristuccia Arena who have stuck around just to see them (I was one of those kids years ago). The same guys that know the odds are stacked against them at times, or know they are the team "Boston is waiting on" for a championship, are the same guys that stay patient, trust each other and do not waver in their strategies but rather encourage each other to work hard and remain classy and in the end Cups and wins and fanfare will come as it should. And all of this has been true since the beginning of the organization decades ago, not just for the 2010-2011 season. I'm proud to be a Bruins fan, because it actually means something, more than just liking a sports team. It is a lifestyle, a set of values and a mindset that all Bruins fans still maintain during the off season and year after year. Congrats to the current team and front office on their tremendous season, and thanks to all those who have been a part of the organization over the years - past players/staff and FANS alike - as it takes many more than just the current roster to achieve what we did this year. Go B's! read more

Why do I have to search like crazy to find the Bruins on here while the Celtics and Red Sox come up anyway when I search for "Bruins"?? Anyway, I love the Bruins. The management sucks and they almost always choke when it really counts and even the RED SOX won a championship before them (in my lifetime), but I still love them. It's the true loyal-beyond-reason Boston sports fan mentality, what can I say? Plus the lack of bandwagoners (since there IS no bandwagon) is kind of refreshing. read more

I don't know if it's a sign of how bad the team has been, or just how pathetic you people in Boston are, but how can the Red Sox have 88 reviews and the Bruins don't even have a listing? This is one of the most storied franchises in American sports, and nobody in your city even has the time to write one review? Well, here you go, then. Here's your review. The Bruins are terrible and have been terrible for a long time. It's been a long time since the days of Bobby Orr, Terry O'Reilly, and Cam Neely. Speaking of Cam Neely... Hey, Cam, Ulf Samuelsson wants to know how your knees are? Oops... too soon? read more

Ok, going from last place to third place in the division in less than 6 games is incredible. This is my team. 5 Stars no matter if they are awesome or not their best game, I still love them and never will stop. Oh and Canada, it was pretty stupid to riot cause you lost year. Suck it up. read more

Dear Bruins, Why do you have to suck so much? When I was a kid, I would have laughed in someone's face if they told me the mighty Boston Bruins would be the Boston sports team with the longest championship drought. The team with Ray Bourque, Cam Neely and Andy Moog? The team that won the President's Trophy and fought the good fight in the finals against the Oilers? No way. You're telling me the Patriots and THE RED SOX are going to win a championship before the black 'n gold? No f'n way!! But fast forward to 2008 and reality hits. In a city where all the other major sports team (heck, even the Revolution) really respect their fans (Sox ticket prices aside), the B's simply milk what's left of their fan base more and more each season. They present us with a poor excuse for a hockey team and expect us to pay to watch them play. Look Bruins! Check out the Celtics! They play in the same arena as you and they've got the best record in their league. They've sold out their whole season and are going to make huge money by going deep in the playoffs, satisfying both the ownership and fans! And you know how they did it? They picked up a few good players and weren't afraid to spend a little cash up front to make a lot of cash later. THAT'S how it's done. It broke every Boston hockey fan's heart to see Bourque holding up the Stanley Cup in a Colorado jersey, but sadly, that image defines the Bruins of the past 20 years. For a team that's all but ignored in what was once a hockey town playing a league that's all but dead compared to the NBA, NFL and MLB, you'd think they'd be doing 2-for-1 specials, 75% off student tickets, $5 balcony seats and free autograph signings on a nightly basis. Instead, we get the same old same old as the once venerable Bruins become this generation's "lovable loser" Boston Red Sox, only without the lovability, just the losing. Way to go, Jeremy Jacobs... read more

You can take the girl out of New England, but you can never take New England outta the girl. Even when I was in Southern California for four years, I followed this team avidly and would argue with anyone willing to discuss the topic about how superior the Bruins are to any other team in the NHL. Now that I'm back home where I belong, I'm lucky even to know someone who has season tickets to the Bruins that are located on center ice. Hello heaven. As every Boston team, they have a huge and dedicated following which is amazing to behold in person as you're part of a screaming mass shouting "Let's go Bruins!!". I was also lucky enough to be at the game that went viral for singing the National Anthem. It was an indescribable moving moment. All in all, from the slightly overpriced food and beer, to the seas of yellow and black, to the sometimes excessively rowdy fans...if you do one thing in your life, it should be going to a Bruins game. read more

Absolutely love hockey and have been a huge Bruins fan my whole life!! There is nothing better than the atmosphere of a live hockey game. If you have an opportunity to score tickets, go it is a great experience. I stand by the team through thick and thin. What more can I say? The Bruins are great! They are a fantastic organization!! read more

Boston Bruins - During warm-ups - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've been a Bruins fan my entire life. Been to over 75+ games during that time. So cool to see they completed the "Grand Slam" of championships in Boston. I was against the replacement of the Boston Garden. UNTIL, I saw the new "Fleetcenter" back in 1996. WOW! Nice improvements. I continue to try to see the B's on the road, and occasionally at home, and I ALWAYS get the NHL Center Ice package so I can watch. The B's put on a great show at the Garden (very cool it's that again!) and now the team has the talent and hardware to match the show. They are poised to continue it too for at least a few years. Great Job Mr. Jacobs! Thanks for getting Ray's friend Stanley home, where he belongs. read more

Despite never being a fan, every playoffs should have them in it, better for TV ratings too. For the most part, Chirielli has done a good job with so many moving pieces since the Cup winner from a few years ago but Chara's aging. No doubt Lucic was a good pick, right under the Canuck's backyard, love it lol. I'm still forever anti-Marchand. While he may bring energy and a scoring touch, his dirty play never earns him any respect. They lost that crucial game to Ottawa last week but also, not being able to beat the Habs this year cost them the playoffs, and big revenue too.l read more

Boston Bruins - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I wish I were in the middle of that pile of celebrating bears tonight.

I just wanted to thank Bill in customer relations for his hospitality tonight. I was from out of town and bought a ticket outside TD Garden, it was an original ticket not a reproduction. I found my seat which was next to some friends of the guy who sold me the ticket. Apparently the friends couldn't believe that their friend had sold his seat and accused me several times of somehow scamming their friend. At the second intermission I overheard these same guys discussing the situation in the restroom. REALLY ARE WE IN HIGH SCHOOL!??? So I asked Bill in customer relations to relocate me which he did, I ended up next to some awesome Bruins fans who couldn't believe how I had been treated. read more

2011 Stanley Cup Champions!! Woooooooooo!

Great fans and an original 6 team in a truly beautiful building there really isn't much to dislike about The Bruins or TD Garden save for the absurd ticket prices; the highest in the league for the last 10+ seasons despite some rather lean years prior to their Stanley Cup victory in 2011. Glad to have visited, but at $90/ticket for the upper 300s I could just as easily see 2 games in another NHL city (including original 6 franchises like Detroit and Chicago) for a similar price. read more

The Bruins rule. The games are entertaining and rowdy, just what you would expect from Boston. My suggestion is to sit in the balcony to truly experince the Garden and the Bruins fans. Overall, great location in the the center of Boston, long history of prominence, and lots of places to go beforehand on the streets outside. read more

First time seeing a Bruins game and I loved it! Instant hockey fan. Not only was the game satisfying, action-packed and fun, but the venue was easy to get to, easy to navigate and had concessions everywhere, with short lines!!
