The Boston Bruins are champions of the hockey world once again! For the first time in 39 years, the Bruins are hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup in celebration of their exciting, come-from-behind, best-of-seven-games series victory over the favored Vancouver Canucks. Upper Deck, the hockey card leader, has put together a commemorative box set to spotlight the Bruins biggest win in nearly 40 years.
This 30-card set is comprised of 25 regular player cards spotlighting Boston's top players from this season including Patrice Bergeron, Nathan Horton, David Krejci, Brad Marchand, Mark Recchi, Tyler Seguin, Johnny Boychuk, goaltender extraordinaire Tim Thomas and team captain, Zdeno Chara; five 'Season Highlights' cards spotlighting five memorable moments from the 2010-11 NHL campaign; and one commemorative card showing the Bruins in post-game celebration on June 15 in Vancouver huddled around the Stanley Cup.
The five 'Season Highlights' cards consist of: 1.) The Bruins rally from two games down to beat Montreal in the opening round of the playoffs; 2.) Avenging last season's playoff collapse against Philadelphia with a sweep of the Flyers; 3.) Chara's first career hat trick (1/17/11) against Carolina; 4.) Thomas leads the league in GAA (Goals Against Average) and saves percentage; and 5.) Seguin's four-point effort in Game 2 of the Conference Finals against Tampa Bay ties the series at 1-1.
