In a century of spirited play, the Boston Bruins have participated in numerous contests that have brought joy and disappointment to their passionate legions of followers. Twenty-five of these games are presented here, chronologically, in great detail.
Having played more than 7,500 regular-season and playoff games since the franchise's inception in 1924, the Boston Bruins have become an iconic National Hockey League team boasting a sizable fan base well beyond Massachusetts. In a century of spirited play, the Bruins have participated in numerous contests that have brought great joy--and great disappointment--to their passionate legions of followers across North America.

Twenty-five of these games are presented here, chronologically, in great detail. Most will be known to hardcore followers of the Bruins, others may be on the obscure side. All of them combine to create a tapestry of sorts, one of triumphs, travails, cheers and tears. For the passionate fans of the Black and Gold, it follows the club's fortunes from the early days of Eddie Shore and Tiny Thompson, through the halcyon seasons of the Kraut Line, forward to the dominant renaissance years of the Orr-Esposito 1970s and into the third decade of the 21st century. Hockey followers, regardless of their allegiances, will enjoy this tome of Boston Bruins nostalgia.

John G. Robertson is a private tutor and sports historian who lives in Cambridge, Ontario. He is the author of numerous books on baseball, hockey and boxing history. Carl T. Madden operates an escape room in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
