Beginning next Monday, two teams will knuckle down and compete for the Stanley Cup. The Boston Bruins will aim for their seventh elusive trophy and the St. Louis Blues for their first ever.
The very first time the Boston Bruins made it to the playoffs, in 1927 they also made the Stanley Cup Final. However, the Bruins lost to the Ottawa Senators. That time, 92 years ago, the Stanley Cup Final was played up to two wins regardless of the ties. The Senators won two games and two games ended up in a tie. The Sens hoisted the Stanley Cup in Ottawa on April 13 that year.
