BOSTON When the Boston Bruins won their 63rd video game this period, positioning them atop the perpetuity list of teams with the most normal period victories, they passed 2 other fantastic regular season teams: the 1995 96 Detroit Red Wings and the 2018 19 Tampa Bay Lightning, teams with something in really did not win the Stanley 's a fate that the 2022 23 Bruins hope to stay clear of when the Stanley Cup Championship start Monday, with the Bruins playing the Florida Panthers in Video Game 1 of the most effective of 7 Eastern Meeting Preliminary at TD Garden 7:30 p.m., ET; ESPN, SNE, SNO, SNP, CBC, fantastic as their regular period was, as lots of documents as they linked and damaged, as lots of wins as they made from October to April, for them, that all falls away they deal with the problem of they might need to begin it without facility and captain Patrice Bergeron, one of a couple of Bruins players that are "under the climate" entering Game 1, according to instructor Jim Montgomery." I believe with what happened to us, I make certain that turns up in Boston's storage locker room a load, " Lightning train Jon Cooper claimed. "I would certainly bring it up if I was their train." RELATED: [Complete Bruins vs. Panthers series coverage The Lightning had actually entered into the initial round that season as heavy favorites against the Columbus Blue Jackets. But as opposed to heading into the following round, the Lightning were brushed up. 4 video games erased a 62 win Red Wings made it deeper right into the playoffs, all the way to the Western Seminar Final, however they shed in 6 games to the eventual Stanley Mug champion Colorado Avalanche." I think as a team collectively, we took the period so significant and were so concentrated on winning the Stanley Cup, which you wouldn't normally claim is a negative point, " said forward Kirk Maltby, that was traded from the Edmonton Oilers to the Red Wings at the trade deadline that season and is currently a pro scout with the group. "I think when we entered into that collection versus a fantastic Colorado team I just think that whatever simply got ramped up also greater in regards to intensity and possibly we were clutching sticks a little too tight, not playing the means we had played all year round, completely with the playoffs, and just couldn't get over certain points during that series." So the question is: Will the Bruins go the way of the Lightning and Red Wings, teams whose regular season results didn't match their postseason fire outs? Or will they be more like the 1976 77 Montreal Canadiens, an additional team whose document for many factors in a period, with 132 the Bruins beat 135, however a group that ended the season with the Stanley Cup?Scotty Bowman, the epic train that lagged the bench for that Red Wings team which Canadiens team, thinks the Bruins will certainly go the way of the last." Just do not let individuals speak with you concerning the normal period, " Bowman said. "As soon as they play their last video game, shut the door. There's just one trophy that means something." That belief has actually been resembled by the Bruins." Some individuals might place focus on the Head of states' Trophy, but when you truly damage it down, it doesn't mean anything come playoff time, " ahead Brad Marchand said. "I think we have a whole lot of older men with experience that comprehend that." The guys go over the Bruins document setting season That does not mean they do not appreciate it, that they're not pleased with what they achieved." However we do not wish to hang our hat on that either, " Marchand stated. "We desire to stick with the process that has allowed us to be effective." For Bowman, one of the largest pieces is the confidence developed over a full season of greatness. But, as he cautioned, that can not veer right into comes to be quite the fine line." Sadly, when you miss in the playoffs, everyone thinks you're a failing, " Bowman said. "It's like when you can be found in 2nd, a great deal of people claim, well, second is the very first loser. That's unfair, yet that's the truth." Bowman explains a stat he saw just recently that amazed him, that the Bruins have held opponents to two goals or fewer in a monstrous 52 video games this period." When you do those example" Bowman benefit for the Bruins something they're relying on is the experience of their leaders, Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci and Marchand. Each got on the 2010 11 Bruins team that won the Stanley Mug. 7 other players on this season's team were on the 2019 group that lost in Game 7 of the Cup Final, recognizing what it takes to get that far and the dissatisfaction of not getting one last win." I assume if you check out the two latest teams, Tampa Bay and Detroit, the Detroit team had a couple of Cup winners on there, however our leaders have actually all gone far to Stanley Mug Finals or [three that have won everything, " Bruins trainer Jim Montgomery claimed. "I believe that offers us a little of an advantage, yet absolutely nothing's assured." They have actually tried to drown out the sound that includes the history, attempting to remain in the minute, attempting to be present and thankful and comprehend that they do not need to be destined duplicate it's hard, due to the fact that the normal period the Bruins had brings expectations. And with that said comes pressure." If they obtain it, they get it, that's terrific, " Maltby said. "However don't neglect it's a video game. Also in the most laborious of times, you have actually reached take a 2nd to kick back, refocus a bit, don't grip the stick so tight. Just go out there and play the means you did all year that obtained you right here." That was Maltby's advice, recognizing that his group obtained "a little captured up in the seriousness of it." His advise was for the Bruins to make certain that, off the ice, they were able to loosen up, to have some fun." You can still stay focused, " he said. "There's going to be sufficient stress in the 3rd duration, up an objective, down a goal, connection video game, whatever it is. There's going to suffice of that placed on them throughout the course of the games, however numerous series they go." Whether it remains in method or the clothing space or just away in the resort, simply loosen up. Most likely to the films and kick back. It's hard to close your mind off it, yet just attempt to loosen up and have some enjoyable." The good news is, as Maltby pointed out, the Bruins have David Pastrnak on their group. And few players in the NHL have more fun than program, though the burden of background looms huge for that record breaking season, there's likewise this: The Red Wings went on to win the Stanley Cup in 1996 97 and in 1997 98. The Lightning won in 2019 20 and 2020 21." We nabbed success from the jaws of loss 15 times that year Montreal Store, " Cooper said. "And that rarely takes place. Simply the perfect storm caught up with us in the playoffs. Yet I understand you claimed, well, it really did not exercise for you. We won 11 playoff series in a row after that." Writer Nicholas J. Cotsonika and Senior Author Dan Rosen added to this record
