Thanks for the heads up, but unless it's posted online I probably won't be able to get it.

I wonder if they are putting together their own retrospective, or airing the official one that was released on DVD? (Which is also on YouTube, whether legally or not. )

I've got the Bluray version of that official Stanley Cup Champions DVD. It has a running time of 120 minutes so Sportsnet might just be airing a condensed version of that which would suck as I would love to see some different footage. Sportsnet has been running a bunch of other SC Champions episodes for other seasons but I haven't needed a hockey fix bad enough to watch another team win it all.

Thanks for the heads up, but unless it's posted online I probably won't be able to get it.

If Sportsnet puts it on their site I'll post the link.

I wonder if this will pop up on NHLN...I hope so. I don't know whether TSN, SportsNet, or both wind up on NHLN-US, but I know we get some of that stuff here in the States, although sometimes it's later.

Pretty sure I saw the DVD on either NESN or NHLN recently, within the past 1-2 months....I forget how long it was, but I'm 99% sure it's the DVD because there's lots of player interviews, but no Marchand.

Like I told Aeroforce - if this pops up on the Sportsnet site I'll post the link here.

I watched this special on SN last night. Still gave me goosebumps for a lot of it. Just an incredible run.

 

[Alicat]

That night was magical.

My favorite photo

This was on the Garden right after they won

We’re overdue for another!!! I think it’s a travesty that The Hub of Hockey has only six Cups.

I want that feeling from June 2011 back again.

 

[Bruinaura]

Was the Sportsnet special just the DVD or did they have any new content?

 

[TD Charlie]

2013 wasn’t bad because the 2011 win still felt fresh enough.

2019 was pretty harsh

2020, my body is ready

From 1970 on there were a number of years the Bruins should have won it all IMHO: 1971, 1974, 1979, 1990, 1991, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2019. I forgot to add in 2013 at first as well.

Had the Bruins won seven of those nine, they would be tied with the Maple Leafs for second all-time behind Montreal. Personally, I would take 1990 and 2009 off this list - and add 2013. I really thought they were as good as the Blackhawks and if a couple of guys had stepped up just a little more, it would have been the Bruins in six.

Very good list, @bbfan419.

What a glorious day that was here in B.C. to boot.

On the local sports radio station TEAM1040 they are still complaining about how the Bruins changed the rules of the game with their "gooning it up". Best day ever.

I love it.

And Vancouver lost by being complete and total nerds.

Ahh... memories What a great day!

Can't believe it was 9 years ago.

I vividly remember my, then 10 year old daughter fighting to stay awake to watch until the end.

Now 19 -- I struggle to stay awake until she gets home most nights.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

God, what I wouldn't give to go back to that spring/summer

Those were great days

God Bless Timmy, God Bless us, every one!

Thank you, there were other good years also like 1988, but the Gretzky Oilers were still a super star team at that point.

That’s the truth.

The Oilers dynasty with Gretzky at the helm is the best team I‘ve ever seen. The Bruins went 1-1-1 against them in ‘87-‘88, so I actually thought they had a fighting chance in the Final.

Seems like a lot of times there were dynasty like teams in the Bruins way 76-79 Canadiens, 80-83 Islanders, later on The Oilers and even the early 90's Penguins, in 1991 the Bruins led the Pens 2-0 then Pittsburgh started playing D as well and Neely got hurt, those things changed the whole series, otherwise the B's would have beaten the Stars in the finals that year.
