[Fenway]

13 years ago the Bruins won the Cup in Vancouver for the only time in the history of HF Boards.

We should have won more but it is still one more than a few teams I can think of

I still can’t believe they actually did it.

The pinnacle of my Bruins fandom.

I remember starting a thread (which I never usually do) when the Bs were down two in the first round (vs the Habs). It was something like "can the Bs comeback after being down 2...I say maybe"

That thread was fun and lasted until the win in Vancouver.

This is without a doubt one of the best moments in sports for me all-time. The next day at work I brought in a big Bruins flag and me and a few other Bruins fans celebrated with photos. I can still see the hate from many of the habs and leafs fans there.

I was on a Bruins/hockey high all Summer

Best thread evah!!

I wish it didn't disappear. I believe they made it a sticky for a while.

Oh same here , I re-watched many of the highlights from that run.

Many times.

The # 1 thing on my life bucket list is to see the Bruins win the cup in Boston while I can still afford tickets (and I am close to being priced out), and can still do the drive to and from NH.

I am 71...They need to hurry.

I hope they win soon too. You still have plenty of good years left.

For whatever reason, I just felt like the Bs would win it all in 2011.

Even when they were down 2 to Montreal.

I have told this story before but here it is again...

Game 3 ...round #4 vs the Nucks....I am walking down to my seat before the game. We were down by 2 (but close games). Several rows behind my seats there were a bunch of Nuck fans ...drunk and screaming at me "We have seats for game 4 too and will be watching OUR team skating on YOUR ice with the cup....

What could I say? ...we were down by 2. After the game (8-1 Bs ) I walked past the drunk knucklehead losers...They said, "We just want to win at home". I told them "YOU ARE GOING DOWN"

They had no idea who they were dealing with.

That is right . A scary old lady

Matty Falconer never really got credit for this, but he is the one who collected the ice/ water from the Boston Garden to dump on the Vancouver ice. He is in the video with Nate H.

It was so cool.

That was my third Bruins cup but so many disappointments along the way.

I was honestly happy for all of you that never had the opportunity to witness a Bruins cup victory more than anything else.

Not so much for @DKH and @Ladyfan because they had the chance to witness 70 and 72 and @Gee Wally who got to witness all 6 cups.

Now, we all want more!

...I laugh but I am older than Wally.

I was watching in 1970 and 1972 but not at the Garden.

We had so much fun on this board. It was nice to have one day of positive vibes. Everyone loved everyone.

A few work friends wanted me to go out with them to watch game 7...I wanted to be home so I could be on this board with all of you. How silly is that?

After 4 years at one workplace I changed employers midway during the Tampa Bay series. With my former employer I was on a team of about 70 people, many Hab and Leaf fans and my Bruins fandom was well known. So much that by winning the Montreal series, I won a bet with a co-worker Hab fan that garnered me a new Bruins jersey (their suggestion).

I almost regret changing employers now, because walking into my former workplace on June 16th, flag waiving in front of a army of Hab and Leaf fans would of been truly epic moment.

Definitely the pinnacle of my fandom too. I got a lot of crap from people for sticking with this team through some rough times and it gave me a lot of satisfaction that those same people were calling and texting me that night to congratulate me on their win. 13 years later and I still get as giddy as I was that night when I watch the highlights.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I'll never forget how much confidence I had going into game 7. That usually never happened with all the disappointments in the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s.

OMG....I got so much crap for having ST. Then the ones who always bashed the Bs wanted to buy a game from me. ...nope

Funny how that works, isn’t it? I’d always say to them, “I thought I was an idiot for being a fan of this team?” followed by total silence from them. I forgot their numbers when it came to selling games.

I hear ya man. At my workplace back then there were only 4 of us that I know of were Bruins fans, while there were a ton of habs fans and some leafs fans as well. It was an amazing feeling, one I will never forget. I hope to do it again very soon.

Nah more like a super good lady and a great Bruins fan, who can carry a bat when needed.

It is also the highlight of my fandom. What a magical series, the stories along the way. I rode that victory all summer long and felt so good.

I worked for a company whose head office is in the Montreal area. I was taunted after the first two games, I was ready to physically fight them. As some of you know, I enter contests a lot and I won a Bruins jersey that arrived during the playoffs and a Gatorade bottle exactly like the one Horty used. I just knew we were winning.

I took the flag to work and draped it over our company sign out front and emailed the pics to the Quebec office and also the New Jersey office. I wore my Bruins jersey to work - I won the bet with my boss, a Habs fan, it was so hot that day! It was also my birthday, so while they didn't win on my day, I celebrated it the next day too. I want another!!!
