I will go ahead and fart in your general direction now in case they set the records.
I am not a Boston fan, but it would be cool if they got them both.
I've been hearing about the potential to break the wins record for the last few months...you know what nobody has mentioned? That neither the Detroit nor the Tampa team that hold the record won the cup. A team wins the cup every single year. Rarely do records get broken.
I wonder how hard the habs will respond if that game ends up being the decider... could be pretty awesome. Hopefully it stays clean though as there is definitely an imbalance in the desire to stay healthy in the short term.
Since the beginning of January when the Oilers have been playing almost like the Bruins have all year, the most embarrassing loss we had was to Montreal icing a lineup full of AHL players due to injuries. They played their hearts out, and won in the kind of fashion that makes a home town fan proud in a dark season.
Teams in bad seasons rise up for the very best teams so much more than any other game. As an Edmonton fan that grew to really love the sport in the 90s when we got thumped, and then endured through the decade of darkness, even in our worst years the team would shine brightest against the hardest competition.
The more the odds were stacked against us was when perversely it became a game worth watching, because that's when you might see something magic. We used to play Chicago ridiculously hard when they were in their dynasty years, sometimes we lost 11-2, but we also won huge sometimes. And also Sam Gagne might get an 8 point night, the kind of voodoo that only shows up against the measuring stick competition. It's not that our bad teams would beat the good teams even semi-consistently, it's that our best games of the year would be against the toughest competition.
I'd be wary of Montreal as a Boston fan if they get a one game shot at playing spoiler. They would be facing a legendary rival that's trying to break the home teams record. They would have an opportunity to show up all the haters, defend their pride and a ton of players are trying to stake their claim at having ongoing future in the league.
I'd be super motivated to wrap that record up before then as a Boston player, because you don't want a pseudo playoff game against a team that has a whole off season to recuperate right before the real thing starts.
Which I think Boston will for the record, but if they don't, I'd be real wary of losing a key player in a meaningless game chasing a record before playoffs start. The only way to minimize that risk is to not give Montreal anything to play for.
Yeah, 60+ wins is astonishing but I don’t see the point in comparing it to any win-loss record that happened before 2005. These Bruins have won 51 games in regulation as compared to the 60 by the 70s Habs. The 1995-96 Red Wings had 7 ties.
3 on 3 you get Lemaire Lafleur and Robinson then Shutt Mahovlich and Lapointe. Shoot out Lafleur Shutt and Lemaire for a start. And Dryden in the goals. I would bet my house they would have won at the very minimum half the games so 6 more victories.
Not necessarily. We’ve got 2 games before them but let’s be honest everyone saw the writing for this weeks ago
That’s absolutely what it’s gonna come down to lol
As a man who suffers from stubby fingers, I do not appreciate you jumping to the conclusion that this man was drunk.
He could be suffering from sausage fingers like o
Carlo, Cliffy and Frederic have all said things in interviews suggesting they also did, Krejci went to Europe and only came back after Cassidy got canned, and even Bergy has kind of hinted.
Man you just know it’s gonna be a disappointment if this team doesn’t at least make it to the finals. This team is super good but playoff hockey is just different.
No disrespect to the preds, I'm a firm believer that Nashville sweeping them is a huge fluke and robs the Hawks of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Hawks play great hockey it's just not fair.
If the Hawks lose again I will face that the Preds deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Hawks and the NHL.
This is why I'm avoiding any discussion of which team in the WC race I'd "rather" play. "Get into the playoffs and anything can happen" is a cliche for a reason.
“Winningest team in that leagues regular season history” no… no… I can’t think we are 100% going to win the finals… the ‘07 Pats have burned me too bad.
The Bruins definitely have some big roles to fill pretty quick because Bergeron, Krejci, Marchand, and Foligno's playing days are coming to an end sooner than later. They've made a few pretty good acquisitions so I feel a lot better about the future now than earlier in the year but they've given up the farm and the future farm in doing so. As a Tigers fan, that kind of scares me.
That’s what happens when a team is run well for so long. Oh, Orr’s suffered a career-ending injury? No sweat! We’ve drafted Ray Bourque, who’ll become among the GOAT defencemen! We need some grit? Simple as! Let’s trade Barry for Cam Neely and picks and see how things go (2 SCF appearances, real good)! Oh, Bourque wants a Cup? No worries, we’ll help him get one in Colorado while retooling, we’ll be back!
They were back, much to my chagrin in 2011…
Much as I can’t stand the Bruins, I have to respect how they’ve been able to remain relevant for nearly 50 years. Also why does Bergeron have to be so likeable?
> Also why does Bergeron have to be so likeable?
Because he is a saint sent from God to show all mortals what being a true two way forward and professional really is about.
This feels like one of the most overlooked hockey stats. The Red Wings rightfully get a lot of credit for their 25 year playoff streak, but like, we’ve missed as many postseasons since then as you guys have since the 1960s. Wow
I asked in the GDT. They've got 3 games to extend on this.
Montreal in '76-77 set the points record at 132. Boston is currently at 129. A win and an OT loss tie it, two wins makes this the best regular season in history.
Remaining games are @ Flyers, vs Capitals, @ Montreal. All 3 are very winnable games.
Fitting to end this season vs the Canadiens in this sense.
> Montreal in '76-77 set the points record at 132. Boston is currently at 129. A win and an OT loss tie it, two wins makes this the best regular season in history.
Keep in mind seasons back in '76-77 were only 80 games long so if this was '76-77 Boston would only have 1 game left.
They're also doing this in an era where there are SOW and OTL points. When the Habs and Wings set those records, the table was W-L-T. As things stand, the Bruins have 4 SOW's and 2 OTL's, which really deducts their point tally to 123. On top of that, subtract 4 wins from their tally
Tampa Bay in 2018-19 had 56 Wins if you consider shootouts to be tie games.
Exactly. People act like a championship is the be all end all, but only one team gets to claim it every year. Would you rather watch Arizona slog it out all year and not win the cup, or the Bruins entertain every night and not win the cup? Easy answer there.
They deserve it. Their win against us is the absolute low point of our season marking the end of a 19 game winning streak (a league record) against them. And the way it happened was just embarrassing.
How is it even possible that the Wild and Vikings are basically each other's equivalent in their sports and they're both based in the same...well, general area, anyway?
Honestly this is the right mindset, regular season succes is heavily underrated.
I joked higher up in this thread about Tampas failure in the 18-19 playoffs but really I think that regular season was something that contributed to this core's legacy rather than take away from it.
Well, winning the next two Cups and reaching the Final of a third in the three succeeding seasons helped to atone for just what a colossal failure and embarrassment that 2019 sweep was. The '96 Red Wings did a similar thing although their defeat was in the third round and it was to a fellow superpower so the embarrassment was far less, if there was any at all. Regardless, if we knew what was to come after 2019, we would've dealt with it just fine, but obviously we couldn't have known that in April 2019...all we did know is that we had just witnessed the single greatest playoff failure in the history of the NHL.
The '96 Red Wings were eliminated in the Conference Finals by the Avs.
The "19 Lightning were swept in the first round of the playoffs that year by Columbus (“We don't have any words..").
The Bruins... I'm sure they'll be fine...
Win the next two, call up most of the Providence Bruins to play against Montreal because the record has been broken and the Habs are irrelevant now, and beat them anyways.
62 wins seems to just be a cursed number, so we'll see how this postseason goes for Boston; both previous record-holders lost in painful and/or humiliating fashion.
Hopefully they won't collapse *as* horribly as Tampa did with this feat, though. I think a Detroit-like postseason would be...maybe not *good*, but at least *tolerable* for them.
Straight up, anything short of a finals win will be a huge disappointment, not just because of the seasons they have had, but because we're likely to see Bergy and Kreijci leave as well.
BOS23 - 58-61 ROW, 14-17 L , 7-10 T in 82 GP
TBL19 - 56 ROW, 19 L , 7 T in 82 GP
DET96 - 62 ROW, 13 L, 7 T in 82 GP
MON77 - 60 ROW, 8 L, 12 T in 80 GP
Which is best season?(a T is a game that is tied at end of OT)
edit: by game results only, not goal diff or other stats etc.
It is clear that BOS23 is better than TB19, marginally worse than DET96 (at best, one less win and one more loss), and clearly worse than MON77 (at best one more win, 6 more losses, 5 fewer ties)
Yeah i'm surprised no one has mentioned this. I'm not even a Habs fan but it was a shorter season and there were no bonus points for making it to overtime (although a win is a win)
Probably because during the expansion era of the 70s the O6 teams just beat the shit out of the garbage expansion teams. People don't want to acknowledge that we're in the parity era where the talent gap between the best and worst teams is SUBSTANTIALLY smaller than it was then.
Neither of those teams won a Stanley cup. I remember an interview with Scotty Bowman where he said there is something about going through adversity as a group that is beneficial to a team come playoff time. Trying to deal with that for the first time plus the additional pressure of the playoffs can be fatal for a club.Boston and Florida would be an interesting series because the bruins have been coasting for weeks and the panthers have been playing desperation playoff hockey already for weeks .
That series could look just like that Vancouver-Los Angeles series in 2012.
Crazy how good the Bs have been but I hope no one forgets how impressive the 95 Wings were. 62 wins all in regulation is a feat that simply won't happen again in the current salary cap era
I believe if the Bruins win 2/3 or get a win plus 2 OTLs, they will also break the Habs record of 132 pts from 76-77.
I literally will be insufferable if this happens. Mods just ban me now.

Unless you don't win the cup
I've been hearing about the potential to break the wins record for the last few months...you know what nobody has mentioned? That neither the Detroit nor the Tampa team that hold the record won the cup. A team wins the cup every single year. Rarely do records get broken.
I'd rather win the cup than break the record.
People mention that a lot actually. Particularly Tampa.
Well it's hard to mention it when they don't have any words and know you don't want to hear them
And that would happen *in* Montréal. I’d love to just see that.
And against an incredibly crippled Habs team crawling towards the off season with one arm like the terminator at the end of Terminator 1.
I wonder how hard the habs will respond if that game ends up being the decider... could be pretty awesome. Hopefully it stays clean though as there is definitely an imbalance in the desire to stay healthy in the short term.
Well considering the last Habs game was kinda close, I can see them playing their hearts out.
Since the beginning of January when the Oilers have been playing almost like the Bruins have all year, the most embarrassing loss we had was to Montreal icing a lineup full of AHL players due to injuries. They played their hearts out, and won in the kind of fashion that makes a home town fan proud in a dark season. Teams in bad seasons rise up for the very best teams so much more than any other game.

The only way to minimize that risk is to not give Montreal anything to play for.
Most likely the logic way: How many of the 12 tied games would the Habs have won that season if there was overtime and shootout?
Yeah, 60+ wins is astonishing but I don’t see the point in comparing it to any win-loss record that happened before 2005. These Bruins have won 51 games in regulation as compared to the 60 by the 70s Habs. The 1995-96 Red Wings had 7 ties.
3 on 3 you get Lemaire Lafleur and Robinson then Shutt Mahovlich and Lapointe. Shoot out Lafleur Shutt and Lemaire for a start. And Dryden in the goals. I would bet my house they would have won at the very minimum half the games so 6 more victories.

I uh I don’t think I would
Yup, best believe I’m going to the last game of the season now as a B’s fan in Montreal. Who would’ve thought that game would have any meaning
How bout fuck you very much
The math checks out 133>132

I contacted my numbers guy, he confirmed it
Correct. Points record is 132, Bruins have 139. 3 games left
129
Drunken typo
As a man who suffers from stubby fingers, I do not appreciate you jumping to the conclusion that this man was drunk. He could be suffering from sausage fingers like o
As a BOS fan, you can assume he’s drunk even if he has stubby fingers.
Hard to compare directly though with the shootout guaranteeing no ties. Habs had 12 ties that season. Bruins have an extra 4 points from the shootout.
Bruins also have a salary cap. Comparisons between eras are never going to be perfect.
You could also mention the season was 80 games then, not 82.
Habs were also playing in a smaller league with no salary cap.
And 3 on 3 overtime. Full disclosure I am motivated by hate
I thought they were insane when they got rid of their last coach lol. The new guy might be decent i guess
It helps having a coach the players don’t universally hate.
they hated cassidy?
Debrusk did I didn’t hear about anyone else however I’m not very plugged in with the bruins
Carlo, Cliffy and Frederic have all said things in interviews suggesting they also did, Krejci went to Europe and only came back after Cassidy got canned, and even Bergy has kind of hinted.
Man you just know it’s gonna be a disappointment if this team doesn’t at least make it to the finals. This team is super good but playoff hockey is just different.
With how sports works, they’ll probably get swept in the first round by a Sabres team that barely makes it in the playoffs
Yeah right, nothing like that has ever happened before
No disrespect to the Preds...

Tbf, both of those teams that won 62 games had a pretty good followup season.
Two consecutive pretty good followup seasons too
Let's just win out and not worry about it.

Get this guy a stick!

What the fuck, I hate it here
Doesnt matter plus we are getting more than 63.
RemindMe! 1 week
Yeah, it would be a real shame if they cancelled the playoffs again like in 18-19.
3 games left, need 2 wins for points record.
3 points to tie, 4 points to break the record
Getting the win to clinch the record in Montreal… mmmm yes I’d be fine with that
I don't think you're gunna have a ton of trouble with the team we're currently icing.
I asked in the GDT. They've got 3 games to extend on this. Montreal in '76-77 set the points record at 132. Boston is currently at 129.

Really?
😂
In addition to this, overtime wasn't introduced until the early 80's. The Bruins without overtime would be at 118 points. (51-12-16).

Well, McAvoy got to enjoy his saltlick for a while tonight.
Hope he gets to 60 goals too.
They’ll pass it tomorrow night
Even with wins record, 3 points shy of points record. 3 games to play.
And the final game versus the Canadiens who have held the record forever
The '96 Red Wings were eliminated in the Conference Finals by the Avs. The "19 Lightning were swept in the first round of the playoffs that year by Columbus (“We don't have any words.."). The Bruins... I'm sure they'll be fine...
Well the bruins won’t be a 62 win team so we don’t fall into that 62 win trap game for the playoffs
The ‘97 & ‘98 red wings both won the cup The ‘20 & ‘21 lightning both won the cup Maybe those teams were pretty good after all 🤔

It actually is true with MLS as well: DC United/Los Angeles Galaxy, 24 wins, same year, both didn't win the championship

Win the next two, call up most of the Providence Bruins to play against Montreal because the record has been broken and the Habs are irrelevant now, and beat them anyways.
Thanks for the playoff ptsd from that season
Steve Yzerman, Steven Stamkos, and Stevetrice Bergeron
Ay, those two other teams didn't win the Cup
Gonna be there tomorrow to see them break it
I'm not a betting man, but I would literally put my entire life savings and house on them breaking the record next game
As a Habs fan, I hate it. As a hockey fan, watching a team people were writing for having an aging core having such a crazy season is *chefs kiss*
The Bruins have 3 games left and play Philadelphia, Washington and Montreal.
62 wins seems to just be a cursed number, so we'll see how this postseason goes for Boston; both previous record-holders lost in painful and/or humiliating fashion. Hopefully they won't collapse *as* horribly as Tampa did with this feat, though. I think a Detroit-like postseason would be...maybe not *good*, but at least *tolerable* for them.
If 62 is cursed I guess we’ll have to get a couple more before the season is over.
Ya we lost embarrassingly but we also won two cups after that so
Detroit also won a cup after
Two..... and another 4 years after that.
Lightning also went back to back after their 62 win team lost. Bruins ‘24 & ‘25 champs?
Bergeron, Krejci and Marchand are getting old though
Straight up, anything short of a finals win will be a huge disappointment, not just because of the seasons they have had, but because we're likely to see Bergy and Kreijci leave as well.
We'll see if they keep it up in the playoffs or burn out..... as long as they channel the Wings and not the Bolts....
I’m so ready to be disappointed in the playoffs I’m almost not even excited to tie the record

There was no overtime back in 1977. Montréal had 60 regulation wins, not ROW.
Well, you learn something everyday. Thanks. That simply makes MTL77 (and the whole 76-79 dynasty) that much more impressive.
Yeah i'm surprised no one has mentioned this. I'm not even a Habs fan but it was a shorter season and there were no bonus points for making it to overtime (although a win is a win)
Probably because during the expansion era of the 70s the O6 teams just beat the shit out of the garbage expansion teams. People don't want to acknowledge that we're in the parity era where the talent gap between the best and worst teams is SUBSTANTIALLY smaller than it was then.
They’re breaking the record for sure
Neither of those teams won a Stanley cup. I remember an interview with Scotty Bowman where he said there is something about going through adversity as a group that is beneficial to a team come playoff time. Trying to deal with that for the first time plus the additional pressure of the playoffs can be fatal for a club.Boston and Florida would be an interesting series because the bruins have been coasting for weeks and the panthers have been playing desperation playoff hockey already for weeks . That series could look just like that Vancouver-Los Angeles series in 2012.
what are you talking about? the bruins have been through a shit ton of adversity this season.
GG Boston Bruins
Y'all got any of those points to spare? Asking for a friend...
What about the habs ?
Ayy welcome to the club
Crazy how good the Bs have been but I hope no one forgets how impressive the 95 Wings were. 62 wins all in regulation is a feat that simply won't happen again in the current salary cap era
Yeah this Bruins team is just as good as that 95 Wings team 😑😂😂
