From Record-Breaking Heights to a Painful Farewell
The Boston Bruins had just completed a historic regular season, shattering records and claiming the President’s Trophy. Fans dared to dream of Stanley Cup glory, but the playoffs delivered a cruel twist.
Facing a scrappy underdog, the Bruins’ once-dominant offense faltered, their defense cracked, and their goaltending wavered. In a devastating Game 7 overtime loss, their dreams crumbled.
For Captain Patrice Bergeron, it marked the likely end of his storied career. Skating off the ice with tears in his eyes, he symbolized the heartbreak of a team and its city.
Boston mourned collectively, grappling with the weight of what could have been. But as always, they will rise again—because that’s what the Bruins do.
