But one question might leave even the most loyal fan stumped: just how many Stanley Cups does this team have under its belt?
For those who bleed black and gold, this is a no-brainer. But for casual hockey fans or those unfortunate souls who cheer for, well, any other team, buckle up!

Unveiling the B's Bling: Six Shiny Stanley Cups
That's right, folks, the Boston Bruins have hoisted the holy grail of hockey six glorious times. Here's a quick trip down memory lane (with dramatic music, of course):
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
- 1929: The B's become the first American team to win the Cup, beating the New York Rangers in a battle for the ages (or at least, 1929 ages).
- 1939 & 1941: Back-to-back championships! Take that, Montreal Canadiens (their rivals, just in case you were wondering).
- 1970: Bobby Orr's flying goal becomes hockey legend, securing the Cup for Boston. This one might require a dramatic reenactment for full effect.
- 1972: Another championship win! High fives all around.
- 2011: The long wait is over! Tim Thomas becomes a brick wall in net, and the Bruins take home the Cup once again. Cue the victory parades and celebratory duck boat rides.
But Wait, There's More!
Six Stanley Cups is nothing to scoff at, but it's important to stay humble (especially when facing those pesky Canadiens fans). Here are some fun facts to add to your Bruins trivia arsenal:
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
- The Bruins haven't won the Cup since 2011. Hey, even the best teams need a nap now and then, right?
- They're tied for fourth place with the Chicago Blackhawks for most Stanley Cups among active teams. Take that, Chicago (but mostly in a friendly way).
