It was something we could cling to when the Bruins couldn’t beat the Habs for 45 years. But as the early 70s teams and 2011 showed, it is fun to win the fights and the games at the same time

@conroyherald It's not fighting specifically, it's grittiness and not getting physically intimidated by the other team. That's a necessary ingredient for a team to succeed in the playoffs. I'm not sure this team has it
@conroyherald The playoff series win vs MTL in 1988 was a big deal at the time, and important for the franchise. Bruins had a tough team, but people forget that MTL had Kordic, Fletcher, some gritty reg roster players and one weasel named Claud. Gave as good as they got.
@conroyherald I think the winning part is probably doing way more lifting when you call those eras fun
