1979, was just a Dagger to us Bruin fans. Up 3-0 to Montreal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals, going into the 3rd Period, in Montreal. The Lucky Habs tied it at the End of Regulation, and won it in Overtime.

We should have "Closed The Deal" with Montreal! If were would have won that Game, I know Deep in My Heart, that we would have Destroyed The New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Finals.

But, again, it was Montreal, getting Lucky, and getting Another Stanley Cup in 1979.

In 1970 and in 1972 Bruins won the Cup but not play vs Habs in play offs.

1953- lost 1957-lost 1958-lost 1968-lost 1969-lost 1971-lost etc etc

1970-no Habs 1972- no habs - no coments

it's casually?

[Jiltedin2007]

What are you trying to say? That we couldn't beat Montreal?

[werqa123]

it's clear for all. Sorry but it's fact. Best Bruins team in history can won only two Cups in seasons when Bruins not play with Habs in play offs. Sorry I like Bruins of 60-70's But it;s real fact. If Bruins play with Montreal in play off in 1970 you are sure for win?

I'm not sorry again

@werqa123 B's would have beaten Habs in 1970 ther way they played and they were HUNGRY. They lost in 1971 to Habs because they were not so hungry and blew a 5-1 lead. In 1969 Bruins were better than Habs but lost 3 games in OT when they were AHEAD in all 3 late. I give Habs credit, they beat Bruins at that time because of their experience.

[werqa123]

@DonQwantsyou Difirence between Habs and Bruins what Habs were Hungry all time. Because they are best team in world history. Bruins was good but afraid habs. I saw several games of that period although I'm living in Russia. For example the game #1 of 1969 play off. Bruins led 2-0 in third period but after one Ferguson goal- big chezze mistake it was end for Bruins In all series against Habs Bruins were doomed. Remember semis 1979 even 7th game.

Screw all of you frontrunning Habs fans. Bruins forever!

[Lava1964]

Love those 1970s Bruins! Should have won a few more Stanley Cups tough!

[Jiltedin2007]

Boston Bruins - 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

All Habs Fans can go suck on Patrick Roy's dick if they don't like it.

[graciemaemarie11]

lucky? habs swept the bruins in 77, beat em in 6 in 78.how that is luck? habs went 60-8, 58-11, 59-10, 4 straight cups, luckl? they swept a two time champ in 76, set records for points, goal differencial, vezinas, etc, etc...

[DonQwantsyou]

Hey werqa123 get over your dislike of Modern hockey, its here to stay. The game is different today as in all sports, bigger faster atheletes, better equipment different rules, just like game of 1930 was much diiferent than 1970, time marches on, you can't live in the past forever, so enjoy our fine 2011 BRUINS STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

[babajii321]

I'm barely old enough to remember the days of yore, but you raise some good points, I guess. However, the only thing I despise about modern hockey are those damned shoot outs. They belong in an All Star game skills competition. Hockey is a team sport. to be won or lost with 5 skaters, not this one on one nonsense. Neophytes may find that shit exciting, but shoot outs have to go. No place for that our beloved game.

Good the hear you pulled for the B's. This version may win another Cup, or two.

[werqa123]

@babajii321 It is fucking modern hockey. Game without red line without smart players, game of clons> game with euro greedy scums, game without stars, game of robocops with vizors. Btw I'm supported Bruins 2011 because this team from Original six- the best time of Hockey. Modern hockey it is not for me.

[Jiltedin2007]

@dzanier Thank you, it's been 40 years since 1972. All we have going for us in the Stanley Cup Finals is Tim Thomas. All I can hope for is that Tim Thomas can try his best to outduel His Fellow Finalist for the Vezina Trophy Roberto Luongo. Our Power Play is shit, Vancouver is going to kill us in Special Teams, so we have to stay away from the Penalty Box. We're a very young team, but a hungry one as well.

[dzanier]

As a Ranger fan, for years I heard many of our fans call the Islanders lucky. They weren't. They were great & better than us. The disparity between Montreal & Boston was not as great as the two NY teams, but in 77 it was a sweep, in 78 it was 4-2 & the clinching game was convincingly won by Montreal in Boston. Your theory of Montreal luck is most valid when discussing 79, but good teams get lucky. The Isles had luck on their side for 4 years & so did Montreal, but they were also the best teams.

[dzanier]

It may seem like a minor detail, but the Bruins weren't ahead 3-0 in Game 7 of the 79 semis. Had they been they would've won. 3 goals would've been too much even for Montreal. Bruins were up 1-0, then it was 1-1 (Lemaire scored), then the Bruins scored twice, then the Habs scored twice, then Middleton scored to make it 4-3 & then Lafleur scored the "lucky" one to tie it. I'm a Rangers fan but I hope you guys do win it this year. You had some great teams that just missed. You deserve it.

[DonQwantsyou]

@Lava1964 Yes I believe it was 3-1 Habs going into the 3rd and Napier and LaPointe tied it up before Middleton put Bruins up 4-3 with 4 min left.
