Bruins Win First Stanley Cup Since 1972

Oct 31, 2014 8:53 AM

Tim Thomas made 37 saves in the second shutout of his landmark finals performance, Patrice Bergeron and rookie Brad Marchand scored two goals apiece, and the Bruins beat the Canucks 4-0 Wednesday night to win their first NHL championship since 1972, according to an ESPN.com report. "I think I went even further than I thought," Thomas said. "I never envisioned three Game 7s in one playoff season and still being able to come out on top. ... I was scared, I won't lie. I had nerves yesterday and today, and I faked it as best as I could, and I faked it all the way to the Stanley Cup."
