So that owns.

I assume montreal and toronto and maybe detroit are ahead? I can’t seem to find a comprehensive list right now

I’m guessing Montreal as well. I struggled to find a comprehensive list as well, but did find a few good ones with wins, points, etc.

Given that Boston is second in wins all-time (and by a decent margin) I would wager that Boston only trails Montreal in goals.

Well… three consecutive decades of making the playoffs, Cup or not, will do that to you.

I was so bummed when that streak came to an end...

33 years in a row, wasn’t it?

30, and it was the first time they hadn’t made the playoffs since the class of ’67 expansion.

At least we pulled ahead of the Oilers for sole possession of fourth place?

It is surprising to see that Boston has a better record than two franchises that double its Cup wins. Guess it just means one team is consistent while the other two are feast and famine.

I love Chris Kelly’s play. I just wish he would look happy when he does something good. He’s like “oh look I got a point. Playoff goal? Thanks for noticing me.” Smile bro!

Haha I agree. The guy never looks too thrilled. He wa sprobably bored when he was lifting the cup over his head.

Only in that picture though. Maybe he doesn’t smile because it makes him look so bunny?

lol i feel the same way about Greg Campbell. Rarely smiles, but it makes me happy when he actually does (he was very happy after the Ference goal last night! )

by Mikol on Jan 20, 2012 2:29 PM EST up reply actions

He was into goals before they were cool. Over it. Now he’s into a stat you’ve probably never heard of.

And here I thought Ference was the Bruins token hipster
