The 2012–13 Boston Bruins season was the 89th season of play for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. The Bruins finished 2nd in the Northeast Division and lost in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals to the Chicago Blackhawks 4 games to 2.

Off-season[]

On June 3, 2012, it was announced that goaltender Tim Thomas was planning on taking a year off from hockey.[2] Thomas had continued to make headlines for things outside of hockey, mainly his political views, which he demonstrated by boycotting the Bruins Stanley Cup visit to the White House[3] and posting on his Facebook page.[4] He was traded to the New York Islanders on February 7, 2013. Like the rest of the teams in the NHL, the Boston Bruins had their season delayed and shortened by the 2012–13 NHL lockout. The Bruins traded Benoit Pouliot in the off-season and lost four other players to free-agency, but otherwise kept the team intact.

Regular Season[]

The Bruins signed veteran Jaromir Jagr for the remainder of the season and after playing a brief stint with the Dallas Stars, he made his first Stanley Cup Finals since 1992 with the Pittsburgh Penguins, coincidentally it was also against the Blackhawks.
