The Boston Bruins: Masters of the Win... Mostly
Hey hockey fans, gather 'round the virtual campfire for a chat about the Boston Bruins! This past season was a rollercoaster, filled with enough pucks flying around to make your head spin. We saw some seriously impressive plays, some heart-stopping close calls, and... well, let's just say the Bruins weren't exactly strangers to the L column.
So, how many times did our beloved black and gold squad see the red light behind their net this year? Buckle up, because the answer might surprise you (or maybe it won't, we're all Bruins fans here).
The Not-So-Grim Tally
The official count? The B's came up short a total of 20 times this season. That's not the worst record out there, but hey, coming from a team that challenged for the President's Trophy last year, it stings a little.
Now, before you start prepping your "Woe is us!" banners, let's take a look at the bright side. Those 20 losses came spread out over a grueling 82-game season. That means they still raked in a whole lot of Ws, which is why they were a playoff contender right up until the bitter end.
Moral of the Story?
The Bruins may not have gone undefeated, but they certainly proved they can hang with the big boys. Here's to a bounce-back season next year, with a few fewer trips to the penalty box and maybe some extra luck on the power play.
Bonus: Fun Facts Nobody Asked For
- Did you know Patrice Bergeron could probably still outskate most of us in our sleep? Just a thought.
- There's a rumor that if you listen closely enough at TD Garden, you can still hear the echoes of David Pastrnak's wicked slap shot.
