Bruins have the most wins in the NHL since the year 2000. How is that not successful? And winning the CUP is not the only criteria to being successful.
Please post your team.
Why is Boston such a good organization?

Why would my team matter to the conversation? If they weren’t successful at doing what is actually the main reason teams participate every season, I would also say they weren’t successful.
This isn’t some double standard or vendetta I have against Boston.

This reads really well if you imagine Ivan Drago saying it just before he kills Apollo Creed.

They've been to 2 finals in the last 10 years. NEXT!
Why? Because you've been plucking a 1 string banjo for the entire thread, And you argument doesn't hold up. So clearly you have a biased opinion.

incorrect!
today is November 9th, 2023 - ten years ago was November 9th, 2013
the 2013-2014 season the Bruins lost in the second round
if youre gonna try and be pedantic about it, youll have to be more literal than that
How doesn’t my argument hold up? I simply believe that you actually have to win Stanley Cups to be a good organization.
The Bruins have 1 in 50 years.
Get in a Time Machine and go back to the glory days of the 60’s if you want to have an argument about the Bruins being more than a one off for the cup.
The only thing they have shown in the last ten years is that they are good at winning in the regular season and then disappear when it matters most.

Oh boy! You've got me by 6 months. But your original statement still doesn't hold any water. So get off your high horse and give your balls a tug.incorrect!

If cups are the only thing that matters,...
Then a theoretical team that finishes last or next to last for 24 years, has two magical years where everything aligned just right and they won back-to-back cups, and then had another 24 years in a row of finishing in dead last place (50 years total) would be considered more successful than Bruins, who have only won cup in that timeframe (multiple appearances, but only one win).
Got it.

That's your in the minority opinion. Good for you.
Bruins: 6 Cups
Penguins: 5 Cups
Bruins a more successful organization going by your " logic ".

Given the Bruins' success, I'm wondering if Bergeron would consider un-retiring for a final run.
I doubt it with his disc issue at his age. He could still play a role though if Jacobs is willing to circumvent the cap by signing him for $2M then have him
"hurt his back" 1st game back and go on LTIR and open more space for
a deadline deal

The bruins defence and goaltending is the best in the east. The forwards are also devoted to a defensive game. They basically need 3 goals a game to win.
@Hockey 4 Life I’m just wondering why you haven’t answered this yet?

You are aware the goal is to win the cup right? Setting the record for most wins in a season doesn’t mean anything if you get bounced in the first round of the playoffs
It's an entertainment business. Repeat success over 82 game sample sizes provides this to fans living busy lives. It is not a team tanking every 4 seasons for talent with the bandwagon rejoicing the occasional successful season.
Last season was the most memorable Bruins season since the era began again in 08, regardless of the repulsive fluke ending.
The goal is sell tickets and be profitable in reality, not success determined by jealous fans.
This is such a loser mentality that I am kind of upset with myself that I’m even giving it a response.

Certainly different strokes applies here. I find it an empty way to spend your sports following life because I’m more of a journey over destination person. Both are nice of course, but the simple fact is that a particular team is only going to win so much during any given time frame. I assume you consider reading King a waste of time because he doesn’t always stick the ending?
Overall, I’m simply expressing admiration for a franchise that can remain highly competitive for a half century, without resorting to major tear downs.
