Bruins: Champions! En 2011, les Bruins de Boston sont les champions de la Coupe Stanley ! Trente-neuf ans après avoir gagné la Coupe en 1972, les Bruins ont remporté la Coupe à Boston. Les partisans qui avaient attendu si longtemps sont maintenant très heureux ! Jeunes et vieux, un million de partisans des Bruins ont assisté au défilé à Boston pour fêter la grande victoire. Cette équipe championne en noir et en or était très forte et dynamique. Elle était menée par leur capitaine, Zdeno Chara, le plus grand joueur de la LNH. C’était une équipe profonde et diverse, composée de jeunes recrues comme Tyler Seguin et Brad Marchand, et des joueurs expérimentés comme Chara, Tim Thomas et Mark Recchi. À l’âge de 43 ans, Recchi était le plus âgé de l’équipe. À l’âge de 19 ans, Seguin était le plus jeune. Tout le monde a contribué à la victoire pendant la saison régulière et les séries éliminatoires. Les défenseurs de la ligne bleue, comme Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuk et Andrew Ference ont joué un rôle très important. Quant aux attaquants, ils ont démontré leur grand talent offensif sur la glace. David Krejci et Patrice Bergeron ont eu le plus grand nombre de points au cours des matches éliminatoires. Et finalement, Tim Thomas, le gardien de but, était phénoménal toute la saison. Quand il avait 37 ans, il a gagné le trophée Conn Smythe et le trophée Vézina pour la deuxième fois ! Évidemment, les joueurs de hockey doivent être sportifs, forts et rapides, mais aussi intelligents et travailleurs. Gagner la Coupe, c’est vraiment un effort d’équipe ! Après la victoire, la Coupe a voyagé autour du monde avec les joueurs. Elle est allée dans le Michigan, aux États-Unis avec Tim Thomas. Elle a visité le Canada aussi : le Québec avec Patrice Bergeron, la Colombie-Britannique avec Milan Lucic, l’Ontario avec Nathan Horton, et l’Île-du-Prince-Edouard avec Adam McQuaid. Mais la Coupe a fait le tour de l’Europe aussi ! Elle a accompagné Tuukka Rask en Finlande, Chara en Slovaquie, Krejci à la République Tchèque, et Seidenberg en Allemagne. Quelles grandes vacances !
