This is their third Cup during my lifetime, and this one was probably the most deserved. Let's face it, in 1970 and 1972, the B's were loaded and far and away the best team in the NHL. They really should have had 5 Cups in a row, but as usual, the Habs were their roadblock.
This is a lunch bucket team that Grapes would have been proud of, and for all of the surviving Gallery Gods who used to sit in the second balcony at the old Gahdin, this one's for them.
