Memorable Moments
strong>2011 Stanley Cup Champions
Game 6
The Goal
Bobby Orr, the best defenseman ever to play the game, scored the game winning goal in overtime against the St. Louis Blues. Upon scoring such an amazing goal, he dove in celebration. The dive is possibly the most iconic moment in Boston Bruins History.
Esposito and Bourque
It was the night that Esposito's number 7 was to be retired to the Garden rafters. The only problem was that Bourque was currently wearing the number 7. So, during the ceremony Bourque skated to center ice and took off his number 7 jersey. Underneath the new number 77 jersey was revealed. Esposito was left speechless for the first time in his life.
Finally! After 39 years of great ups and downs, outstanding heartbreaks and amazing glory, the Bruins have brought the cup home. Tim Thomas, Conn Smythe trophy winner, set the record of 798 saves throughout the playoffs. The parade will be held tomorrow Saturday June, 18 2011.
Game 6
The Bruins-Canadiens rivalry always heats up during the playoffs. With their backs up against the wall the Bruins overcame many defeicits to beat the Canadiens in Game 6. This moment is one of the best moments in recent history for the Bruins

Modern Bruins
Marc Savard
Marc Savard is an outstanding passer. Day in and day out he finds seams between defenseman, and threads the needle passing it to teammates. Unfortunately ever since March 2010, Savard has never been the same.
Tim Thomas
Marc Savard is an outstanding passer. Day in and day out he finds seams between defenseman, and threads the needle passing it to teammates. Unfortunately ever since March 2010, Savard has never been the same.
Savard was cheapshotted by infamous Pittsburgh Penguin Matt Cooke. Savard suffered a severe concussion and has never been the same player he was before the incident. Although Marc Savard hasn't played recently, his past legacy lives on. In one of his first games returning he scored the overtime game winning goal. And his celebration was priceless. Marc Savard is still part of the Boston organization.
Zdeno Chara
The big Boston captain, and hard-hitting defenseman, stands at about 7 feet tall on skates. If this isn't scary enough hes slap shot clocks in at a lightning quick 105.9 mph. Now you might say that it wouldn't hurt because your wearing pads, but Ryan Callahan of the New York Rangers and his broken leg, can assure you that you don't want to block a Chara slap shot. Not only does his slap shot strike fear in opponents, but his physical play in the defensive zone makes opponents afraid to touch the puck.Tim Thomas
The 37 year old boston net minder is well known for his unorthodox style of play. Thomas does whatever it takes to keep the puck out of the net. Although this is Thomas's third season playing in the NHL, he has one
the Vezina trophy once, and is a finalist this year. Seen in the picture to the left is Thomas recording a check on Canuck super star Henrik Sedin. After a Boston turnover that resulted in a scoring chance for Sedin, Thomas leapt out of his butterfly position and knocked Sedin over. Not only was this a great play, but this game was in the Stanley Cup Finals.
