[edit] Record

Bruins set a record 57-14-7 in the '70-1 season; has it ever been beaten? Trekphiler 04:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

It wasn't a record for percentage (that was Boston in 1930 with .875) nor long for wins and points; Montreal beat them with 58-11-11 and 127 points in 1976, then racked up a 60-8-12 record the season following. Detroit surpassed the win (but not the point) total in 1996 with 62 wins. RGTraynor 06:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


Why wasn't another captain named after Thorton was traded? Marcus1060 06:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Mike Sullivan would be the better one to ask. Then again, leadership is in short supply in Boston these days. If I was going to pick a guy, I'd pick Axelsson, but I've no idea if he's a dressing-room leader type. RGTraynor 14:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Leetch would be better suited as a leader for this team, provided he can stay healthy. This guy lead New York for so long, and is a future hall of famer and a legend around the sport, that he is the only real candidate. Kntrabssi 22:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I think, Glen Murray (the veteran Bruin)& Brian Leetch (the veteran NHLer) could share the captaincy (like Briere & Drury in Buffalo). The Bruins have been captainless many times in their past, they seem to have a 'Captain Shmaptain' view of the 'C'. GoodDay 20:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've done a good bit of sprucing up to the article, as well as trimming back the 2006 season recap; no need for it to have more ink than the Bruins' Stanley Cup wins combined. RGTraynor 07:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I just did a lot of cleanup and removed a lot of POV from the 2000s section. Still needs more. Reads way too much like a new article than an encyclopedia article. Haven't look at rest of article yet. Stoneice02 07:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why?

could we try to explain why this team seems to play horribly as of late? thanks.

No, since that is POV better suited to team-related bulletin boards. I suggest the Bruins board on boston.com if you're interested. RGTraynor 03:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
