The Stanley Cup Play-Offs begin on Monday night, and the Boston Bruins will be looking to pick up where they left off after a record-breaking NHL season.
The Bruins enjoyed the most dominant regular season in NHL history, setting new records for points scored (135) and total games won (65), but the real work starts now. The Bruins haven't won the Stanley Cup since the 2010/11 season, but they're overwhelming favourites to end their drought and complete what would be the perfect season.
However, time and time again we've been reminded across all American sports that a dominant regular season doesn't lead to success as record holders in the NFL, NBA and NHL have all failed to go the distance that same season. Tom Brady and Stephen Curry are well aware of that, but the Bruins are determined to defy history this season.
