Why is Boston such a good organization?

[BB79]

yet Boston sports have effectively been a constant high since the new millennium

The Red Sox and Patriots say hello!

Both have sucked the last few seasons and will continue to for a long while

Only 1 cup in last 50 years , yet the question gets asked about them anyways.
What separates them from the likes of the Sabres , Leafs , Blues, Rangers is that the Bruins for the most part comptete , contend and have the respect of the opposing clubs. Also Great culture tradition probably stems from winning the Cup or losing in finals in
70,72,74,76,77,78,88,11,13,19
10 finals. 3 Cups.

Like you point out, since Orr's rookie year they've been in the mix for over 50 years without an extended period of time in the cellar. Only missing the playoffs 7x since 1967 is the picture of being consistently good.

The Red Sox and Patriots say hello!

Even the Celtics have only a single title in the last 38 years.

No other team can do that. From Thornton to Seguin and Hamilton

Kessel

They also traded for Rask.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Strong historic culture, owner willing to spend, smart management, good drafting, and being one of the more desirable cities in the league.
