Oh that's nothing. Remember the Montreal Forum didn't even have glass behind the benches separating the players from the crowdI can't get over the open penalty boxes
Bruins Classics GDT ALL NESN classic games

- Start date
I forgot all this happened in the same game. Krejci's hat trick, a great Thornton fight, Sturm wrecking his knee, and the Jimmy Fund kids. The one that's on now didn't make it.

Great game from 2008 and of course a superior picture to what we get now 12 years later.
After I watched the 74 game cheap shots at Bobby non stop and his teammates looked confused. All low knee on knee stuff. Only had 1 more year left really after that.

Yup, wish I'd known that before googling her.
I have no idea why I did - I guess I was just curious how old she'd be now, and if she'd get a chuckle out of seeing herself on a rare rerun. Sadly, she passed away just about a month later. Hopefully her family can look back fondly on this great game as one of the many amazing times she had in life.

1991 All Star game a good watch.
But man what a tool Milbury was putting Nilan in the all star game. He couldn’t play and was hurt but that is disgraceful.

I’d like to see nightly 2013 and 2019 runs so what we lost the last game both years still included 2 fun months of warm weather hockey.
This stupid ass calendar year/non existent spring has been too cold for a playoff run lol.

I agree, but there's a huge bias on NESN for showing only victories. Well, victories and the 2011 playoff run, which ultimately ended in a victory.
I get it - we want to see the good. But honestly, the teams of 2012-2013 and 2018-2019 deserve love. Yes, 2010-2011 is irreplaceable, but we've done that. But there's some amazing stuff in those games. I'll admit, I sometimes have the memory of a goldfish, and I had to look up whether we won the game where Campbell broke his leg. We did win, but even if we hadn't won, it would have still been an AMAZING game, and one that turned the course of the series.
I'll admit, the one game I'm actually not eager to see is 2019's SCF Game 7. I didn't think that effort was up to par. But y'know what, I don't mind picking at scabs, and I'd probably watch it. I didn't really quite feel that way about 2013 - disappointed with the result, but not with the effort.
But admittedly, those games could be MUCH harder for the players to watch. They're much closer to it than any of us fans are.
I do like the twitter takeovers. It's finally gotten people to stop complaining about the crawl!
Oh, and pro-tip: they have the 2019-2020 victories at 7 AM. You can also get them online, or if you have a Fire stick, you can download the NHL app and watch them that way, with intermissions and probably commercials - haven't gotten that desperate yet.
The Captain has commandeered Bruins Twitter feed tonight for his hat trick game vs the Whalercanes in 2011

I've never actually seen the Tim Taylor game and have never been able to find it on youtube.
I was 11 at the time and I remember the Bruins going down 3-1 but charging back to almost force it to 7, but Dafoe gave up a long slapper to that f***in' titf***er Bellows in OT
yeah ive been searching youtube for it but cant find anything. Theres a youtuber serg72 that might have it. hes been uploading a bunch of stuff lately.
watching some of the games from the 90s on youtube. Don Sweeney had to have the most giveaways in the league.
I was watching the cup finals between Calgary and Montreal back in 1989.
I could not believe how much hooking and holding and tripping was allowed back then ( had forgotten).
I was surprised that any team could score a goal!
That Flames team was loaded on dee with Ramage, McCrimmon, MacInnis , Dana Murzyn, Macoun and Suter.

Mindblowing that Patrice Bergeron (third line right wing!) got his first NHL point in a game where he played WITH the father of former Bruin Ryan Donato, and AGAINST his current GM. How did I not know that?!?! That's what happens when you live in a hockey desert for years.

Taped the game last night which is a phenomenal history of the Bruins in one game.
the Dallas Stars have Modano & Zubov but also Pierre Turgeon, Jason Arnott and several other interesting players not to mention Billy Guerin, Rob Dimao but Don Sweeney playing his first ever game not in a Bruins uniform- and he didn’t play many that year before retiring.
Sweeney was often a healthy scratch that final year of his career but I believe it was his time upstairs where he would form a bond with then Stars GM Doug Armstrong that would lead him into front office in Boston.
The Bruins had young Thornton & Samsonov- Brian Rolston, Glenn Murray - Marty Lapointe !!!! PJ Axelsson and playing third line RW PATRICE BERGERON ~ yah, that guy.
Bergeron gets his FIRST NHL point in this game
Ted Donato is on 4th line !!!!
Raycroft gets a shutout and his D is a wow- I forgot about those guys Nick Boynton, Jeff Jillson - and Hal Gill.
And the coach ? Future HOF Mike Sullivan in his first year who looks 25
oh, and you know who’s not playing ? Zach Parise because Mike OCONNELL traded back to draft Mark Stuart - a deal that I’m 99.9% cost him in the end his job
phenomenal- literally is the precursor to what we have today - is the next chapter after Neely/Bourque that predates this current Lewis/Claude/Cassidy era of Chara & Bergeron
spectacular memories

Agree on Jillson
Parise was rated 9th and with Thornton & Samsonov would have been a dynamic trio building base
ironically Bergeron ends up a star
