Memories like these get quickly erased after winning a Stanley Cup.

Boston Bruins - 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

[EdRacer71]

@Jiltedin2007 I never want to erase the memories from this series...even as a Bruins fan! The day of this game I had cut class to take a trip up to Boston to see if I could at least maybe get a t-shirt or something at the Garden. Ended up. by pure luck, seeing the Stanley Cup on display at the Hotel down at the beginning of Newbury Street. Sucked to see them lose, but, at the time, wouldn't trade that day for anything!

[Jiltedin2007]

@EdRacer71 I hear you, but you have to admit that painful memories like losing the Stanley Cup must be exorcised. 1990 was even worse! We played these same Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals, but without "The Great Gretzky" who was traded to Los Angeles after this Final. But what hurt most about 1990 was the fact that this time we had the Home Ice Advantage and we still got annihilated, but in 5 games.

[EdRacer71]

@Jiltedin2007 the '90 for me REALLY stung. The ONE game I got to watch that year's playoffs on the Armed Forces Network from Pirmasens, Germany was game 5! But, you know what? I just bought a Mitchell & Ness repro jersey with that same Stanley Cup Finals patch on it! Now I am trying to figure out who's name & number to put on it...

[Jiltedin2007]

@EdRacer71 And since 1990, we haven't come close to getting a sniff of the Stanley Cup. That was until we beat those Vancouver Cunt-Nucks last year for the Stanley Cup.

[Magenta408]

That is why a fast skating team like the Vancouver Canucks suffer when they play in Boston - they have to lug half a pound of slush and snow on every pass they make and imagine skating on that stuff. Only the Bruins can do that. The wimp president of the league gave it to Boston this year and it will be their last one!

[EdRacer71]

@Magenta408 "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!­!!" - Magenta408

[Magenta408]

What kind of hockey town is this when you play in sludge and fog and then the lights go out. Man oh man, what bush league!!

[debchasse]

Thanks for posting! I was there, and will always remember how the ice glowed when the lights went out!!!

[jayhawk88z]

That was no dreadfull call that was just how Pederson played.



[bigbadbruins1]

I was there with my exwife who was 6 months pregnant. It must of been 100 degrees in the balcony.

[jarcar101]

it seems like the Bruins realy got hosed by the refs in that series.. and having to go to Edmonton to play there own home game???? that aint right

[paulsonj72]

@jarcar101

They were following NHL by-laws as this game was unable to be finished due to reasons beyond control of the teams the game is made up (if neccasary) at the end of the series in the rink where the original game started. So the series continued with the the new game 4 in Edmonton. This gane was nt needed to be made up as the series ended before that point

[Cuteguyfl]

If it wasn't for the refs and bad luck, the Bruins would have definitely won the game and had outplayed Edmonton. But the Oilers were the better team that year and would have won the Stanley Cup anyway.

[mediblue9]

One of teh announcera sounds like Phil Hartman

[mediblue9]

That called-back goal from teh blue line was awesome!

[FRSFreeStateES]

Lights out for the Bruins when they met the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals

[steve84mc]

oilers vs bruins in 2012 that would be awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[jayhawk88z]

@steve84mc not going to happen my friend

[Flipstazzz]

The Garden never had any air conditioning thats why fog started to appear, it's not a curse just the Garden never installed air conditioning, I wonder why

[ErikS1975FreeState]

The Oilers beat the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals twice in 3 seasons from 88-90

[lablite42]

@ErikS1975FreeState thanks for the history lesson

[DiverseLA]

Is it true Boston was a filthy arena? I'm interested in its history. I heard there was a rat problem and that it was "gross". Yes it had great history I'm not denying that, but I want to know how filthy it was.

[Flipstazzz]

@DiverseLA It is terrible, and as a Bruins fan, the arena had no air conditioning, and the seats were to cramped, very disgusting in my opinion

[pannoni1]

This was the last season before the advertisements appeared along the sideboards.

[JSnugz]

Gotta love the old garden. 1st time I went to a B's game at the garden I had seats way up near the rafters and it was just amazing how loud and rowdy that place got...sure it was a shithole but it was a MAGICAL shithole.

[pimpmasterdac]

Excellent Quality Video!

It's always great hear the "non-biased" announcers that NESN has, so objective and fair with their analysis...

It's almost like they got fans from the street

[AirRaider56]

@statman06 the fog doesnt get on the ice.. its just the ice is colder than the air and its creating fog.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Cusick's best calls are "Moog" and "Neely".

[ChuckyTheGoat]

@statman06

I believe it had to do w/ the warm summer.

[azbaldy5]

it was "a time to remember"

[iceBomb34]

@statman06 at the boston garden there was no air conditioning so it got extremely hot in there, a celtics vs lakers game was played there at 97 degrees inside so they had oxygen tanks and most fans left early or brought a small cooler of ice

[clergymen19]

dafoomie, others have said it here, but I'll reiterate -- the quality on these vids is absolutely fantastic. All I can do is speculate that TV38 laid you off when UPN bought out the station and you raided the video closet. Either way, awesome stuff!

[FAITHandLOGIC]

GREAT QUALITY!

[pimpmasterdac]

Agreed! How did you get such a great quality of this game dafoomie?

[kanervatie]

Glenn Anderson. Played for Rauma Lukko..I was there. lol

[suppie100]

Those theiving Bruins.

[HockeyStuffGuy]

the lights out at the ol' Boston Gaaaaden

[stevenaudet]

The penalty on Bourque was so fucking dumb! Bourque checked the guy but he falls before with the contact on the goalie. I'm still pissed about that one!

[magicquery]

good job man!

[ForHowManyCookies]

jesus dafoomie, you really go all out for these vids hahaha.'88 stanely cup. now thats a while back haha
