The Boston Bruins: Champions of Winning... Most of the Time (Except When They're Not)
Ah, the Boston Bruins. A team steeped in history, cheered on by a passionate fanbase (who may, or may not, have invented the sport of heckling), and generally known for leaving opponents feeling like they just went ten rounds with Mike Tyson. But hey, even the best get knocked down sometimes, which brings us to the burning question:
How many times do the Bruins actually LOSE?
Well, buckle up, because this answer depends on how deep you want to dive into the glorious, gritty world of Bruins hockey.
All-Time Woes: We're talking a monumental 2,461 losses throughout their entire existence. That's a whole lot of overtime beers for Bruins fans (though, let's be real, they probably pound those back win or lose).
2023-2024 Season in Review: Thankfully, things weren't quite that bad last season. The B's only suffered a measly 20 losses. Measly, of course, being a relative term. Still, that's a far cry from their all-time record.
But wait, there's more! Here's a breakdown of losses by era, just for kicks:
The Rough Years (Sometimes): Let's just say there have been seasons where the Bruins challenged the participation trophy record. We won't mention any names (cough, cough, 2006-2007 cough).
The Glory Days (Most of the Time): Thankfully, those rough patches are balanced out by seasons where the Bruins leave opponents wondering if they accidentally scheduled a game against a team of cyborgs.
So, what's the takeaway? The Bruins may rack up some losses, but they're a force to be reckoned with. After all, even the best teams can't win every game (unless you're the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens, those freaks).
