The 2010–11 Boston Bruins season was the 87th season of play for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. The Bruins finished 1st in the Northeast Division and defeated the Vancouver Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals 4 games to 3 to win their 6th Stanley Cup.

Off-season[]

At the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles, California Boston selected Tyler Seguin with their first-round pick, 2nd overall.[1] A week earlier, on June 16, 2010, Bruins Owner Jeremy Jacobs and Principal Charlie Jacobs announced that Cam Neely was named President of the Boston Bruins.[2] Neely, a former player and 2005 Hall of Fame inductee, became the eighth president in club history.

The Bruins sought to "tweak the composition"[3] during the off-season, trading puck-moving defenseman Dennis Wideman to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a perennial 20-goal scorer in Nathan Horton.[4]

The Reading Royals, Boston's affiliate within the East Coast Hockey League renewed their relationship during the off-season.[5] This marked the second year the organizations shared affiliation, with the Royals playing host to several Bruins prospects including goaltender Matt Dalton and defenseman Rob Kwiet.

Pre-season[]

On June 21, 2010, the Bruins announced their seven-game pre-season schedule. Closing out the schedule were two exhibition matches, the first in Belfast, Northern Ireland, against the Belfast Giants Select, a unified team composed of an All-Star selection of the best EIHL players from each team. The Bruins went on to beat the Giants Select 5–1 after being held scoreless for the first period. Rookie star Tyler Seguin scored a pair of goals. The Bruins then faced off against Bili Tygri Liberec of the Czech Extraliga in their final pre-season match, with veteran Patrice Bergeron putting on a five-point display that included two breakaway goals in a 7–1 victory for the Bruins.

Regular Season[]

As part of the 2010 Compuware NHL Premiere Games, the Bruins began their season on Saturday, October 9, playing against the Phoenix Coyotes at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.[6]
