The Boston Bruins gave a young rookie named Milan Lucic a chance in the NHL. Three years after making his NHL debut, not only did the Bruins give him a chance, they also allowed him to win hockey’s ultimate prize.
Lucic scored a career-high 30 goals in the 2010-11 regular season and in the playoffs, he scored five more with seven assists to help the Black and Gold complete the 16-victory journey through the Stanley Cup playoffs to hoist the Cup in Vancouver after beating the Canucks in Game 7 on June 15, 2011.
