The Boston Bruins: Champions of Chugging (From the Stanley Cup, Not Beer)
Ah, the Boston Bruins. A team steeped in tradition, a fanbase as passionate as a chowder-fueled brawl, and a collection of hardware that would make a kitchenware store jealous. But the question on everyone's mind (well, maybe not everyone) is: just how many Stanley Cups have these rough and tumble boys from Beantown hoisted over their heads?

We Did the Math (So You Don't Have To)
For those of you who struggle with basic addition while rocking out to Dropkick Murphys, the answer is a glorious six. That's right, six gleaming silver chalices to quench their thirst for victory (though hopefully not filled with actual beer, that would be sticky).
Here's a quick trip down memory lane of their championship booze-vessels:
Tip: A slow, careful read can save re-reading later.
- 1929: They sipped champagne from their first Stanley Cup after defeating the New York Rangers in the first-ever all-American Stanley Cup Finals.
- 1939 & 1941: Back-to- back wins! Looks like someone had a real good time in the locker room those years.
- 1970 & 1972: They came roaring back after a bit of a dry spell, proving that good things come to those who wait (and maybe sharpen their skates).
- 2011: After facing some serious heartbreak (we're looking at you, Chicago Blackhawks), they finally reclaimed their glory and partied like it was 1929 (with much better goal tending this time around).
Fun Fact That May or May Not Be True
There's a rumor that somewhere in the bowels of TD Garden (their home arena), there's a secret room where they keep all these Stanley Cups filled with a never-ending supply of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. But that's just a rumor... probably.
