You sick f***.

I think I have the worst likes to post ratio in all of HF. Seems to check out

I hope somebody writes a book someday about this ownership group.

What an interesting story.

Jeremy takes a hardline stance in the 90s, and fights tooth and nail against the players association to get his salary cap.

By all accounts, costs the Bruins multiple Cups in the process.

They finally do right through post lockout when they bring in an outsider to assemble the roster and implement his vision.

However, in the grand scheme of things, the one Cup is an under achievement.

Always in the mix, rarely coming out on top.

That’s what the scoreboard says your legacy is.

When I first had my ST, the arena was never sold out. Many from the balcony would come sit in the loge. There were about 3000 STH.

They treated the STH much better.

Tickets were more than half cheaper than now. The team was not so good.

The coach was Robbie Ftorek. ..then Mike O'Connell, then Mike Sullivan ..then Dave Lewis...and Claude Julien (my favorite since I have had my ST)...You know the rest.

I hope they fix the problems.

#1 on my bucket list is to see the Bs win the cup on home ice with me there. I am almost 72....Seats are too expensive now and eventually driving to and from NH will be too much for an old lady.

I saw St Louis and Chicago skating on the Garden ice in front of me....

I got to see Edmonton skate around with the Cup (and somebody smack Craig Muni in the head with a shoe from the balcony), I would just like another Cup.

Could they have won another Cup in the 70s, 80s, or early 90s had they extended?

90? 91/92?

A bit before my time, so going mostly based on what old timers like my dad have told me.

That and WHA taking a bite out of their core towards the end of the Orr years.

74 should have been a Cup, 1979 is still the one that hurts the most, can argue 92 as well. 2019 is unforgiveable.

The 88-94 core should've won at least one. 1991 was probably their best shot, and I think a lot of people could argue that if Ulf doesn't cheapshot Neely that they win that series and the cup. By extension, if Neely is healthy in 92, they probably are more competitive in that conference final too. I still have no idea how that 1993 team got themselves swept by Buffalo, because the rest of the division leaders all lost too and the field would've been wide open if they advanced. Just a weird playoff year overall.

Really, most of the 90s failure boils down to Cam's knee and thigh turning to bone. The two years that he missed the playoffs with lingering injuries, the team actually went surprisingly far without him (conference finals in 92, taking a 2-0 lead on the Devils in the second round in 94), to the point where if he were healthy, maybe they go farther.

1993 is still one of their biggest disappointments. An amazing regular season with the B's, Nords and Habs alternating over 100 points. B's won the division with the prize of playing a .500 Sabres team, and scored about 6 goals total in a 4-game sweep.

The crazy thing is that they actually put up 12 goals in the four games (technically 12 in three and one shutout in game 2). Adam Oates had nine apples, Neely was 4G-1A, Juneau 2G-4A. And despite leading both sides with 9 points, Oates was an even +/-. Andy Moog just got lit up by Mogilny.

And that team wasn't a fraud that got out to a hot start and faded down the stretch, they won their last eight games of the season to win the division and Buffalo lost their last seven of the season to limp into the playoffs.

That was a little before my time as a fan so I didn't get to watch it as it unfolded, but just through stat sheets and such I still cannot make sense of that series for the life of me.
