The Boston Bruins have given the NHL so much this season, from shattered records to David Pastrnak's wardrobe. As the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs arrive, they've given us something else: a time machine.
Most of us weren't around when the Montreal Canadiens made the Stanley Cup Final every year in the 1950s, hoisting the chalice six times. I imagine the vibe at the start of every postseason was less "who will win the Cup?" than "can anyone not named the Montreal Canadiens win the Cup?"
This Bruins team shares that vibe.
