Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team has been in existence since 1924, and is the league's third-oldest team overall and the oldest in the United States. It is also an Original Six franchise, along with the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs. The Bruins have won six Stanley Cup championships, tied for fourth most of all-time with the Blackhawks and tied second-most of any American NHL team also with the Blackhawks (behind the Red Wings, who have 11).
The first facility to host the Bruins was the Boston Arena (today's Matthews Arena) – the world's oldest (built 1909–10) indoor ice hockey facility still in use for the sport at any level of competition – and following the Bruins' departure from the Boston Arena, the team played its home games at the Boston Garden for 67 seasons, beginning in 1928 and concluding in 1995, when they moved to the TD Garden.

Anyone can contribute to this list of great sports team names, which makes this ranking an accurate, real-time reflection of the crowd's collective opinion. Feel free to rank your favorites or add whatever team you see missing or isn't getting any love.

Not surprisingly, a lot of the teams nicknames on the list feature things. That's to say, if a team is named after an animal, thing or a group of people, it's like to be on here. This is the reasoning behind seeing the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota Vikings and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-new-orleans-saints-kickers-ever/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">New Orleans Saints</a> representing the NFL. On the darker side of things, the New Jersey Devils and Chicago Bulls respective team names are meant to strike fear into their hearts of both their opponents and fans. 

But don't forget about weather elements either, which explains why Florida's own Miami Heat and Tampa Bay Lightning are on here. The weather, especially in the Sunshine State can be as daunting and intimidating as a team like the Chicago Blackhawks or Boston Bruins.

No matter how you cut it, the teams on this list have the best names in all of sports and this Ultimate List is in your hands to select which of these teams has the greatest team name.

Who is <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-nhl-teams-of-all-time/sportsyeah">the best team in the NHL</a> right now? Tough question.

Obviously, avid hockey fans can just look at the current NHL standings or simply point to whomever hoists <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-championship-trophies/pedro-cerrano">the Stanley Cup</a> over their heads as 2019&nbsp;champions (St. Louis Blues), but where&#39;s the fun in that?

After all, a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/brutal-hockey-injuries/laura-allan">gruesome injury</a> on the ice could ruin a good team and a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-important-hockey-goals/swiperight">crucial goal </a>could invigorate a decent team. Figuring out the greatest current hockey teams is too big a task for any one fan of the most Canadian sport this side of curling. Just as one person can&#39;t be expected to construct a Zamboni all on their own, no single person can puzzle out the answer to such a complex question.

It&#39;s only with the wisdom of the crowd that we can determine which team in the National Hockey League is the best, pound&nbsp;for pound, in the 2019-2020 season. That&#39;s where this list comes in.

The best NHL teams of all time are those National Hockey league teams who have performed the best throughout the years, won the most Stanley Cup Championships and overall dominated the league. Most, if not all, hockey fans are partial but in the record books, these teams stand among the elite as the winningest and best NHL teams ever.If you judge a better NHL team by the number of championships under their belt, only one team can take that number one spot. The Montreal Canadiens, in their nearly 100-year history, have a whopping 24 Stanley Cup wins. The closest competitor, the Toronto Maple Leafs, only has 13. Following in third comes the Detroit Red Wings with 11. Of those three only Detroit has won the title recently, in 2008, with the last Canadiens championship back in 1993 and the Maple Leafs going back to 1967 for their most recent championship.On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a handful of NHL teams who never won a championship yet. The St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals, San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes, Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, and Winnipeg Jets all fall into that category.So how do you decide which NHL teams should be considered the best?

The best locker room celebration videos capture the raw emotion and energy that athletes feel after a big victory. Whether they won a big game over a rival team, captured a championship or completed a seemingly impossible upset, these teams all did something spectacular and have every reason to celebrate like champions in the locker room after the game. While we all wish we could be in that locker room with them for the singing, post-game speeches and champagne baths, that's not really possible but we can feel like we're there by watching these memorable locker room celebration videos.The locker room is a special place for teams, especially when they play at home. It may not smell like a bed of roses but it's one place where all members of a team gathers before and after good games and bad. As seen in these locker room celebration videos, locker rooms after big victories are much more entertaining and uplifting than after a tough loss.Each team also has their own way of celebrating a victory or championship. Many, such as college football and basketball teams, gather around their coaching staff to sing the school's fight song, such as what the Michigan Wolverines did after beating bitter rival Ohio State in November 2011. Sometimes the coach gives a speech to address the players and many times this leads to an emotional moment for all involved.Other times, the locker room celebrations are wet and messy, such as when teams win a championship and bathe in beer and champagne until they tire. Another common activity after championship wins, especially in hockey, is the shaving of the playoff beards in the locker room. The sweaty and superstitious men are always anxious for a clean shave after the big game ends.But it's not always fun and games in a locker room after a victory, especially for anyone not a member of the team. Reporters, like Brent Musburger in the Philadelphia 76ers locker room in 1983, often struggle to get their interviews among the chaotic celebrations. Sometimes the real story comes after the celebration videos go public, such as with the Tennessee Volunteers football team in 2011 who celebrated a bit too much, at least according to the opposing coach at Vanderbilt.However teams choose to celebrate their big wins, one thing is the same between all of these exciting locker room celebrations. Each show the raw emotion that comes with success and accomplishment. Regardless of the sport or level, that is something that cannot be taught.

Predicting the future is almost impossible to do, so when it comes to making multi-million dollar decisions and determining the fate of your franchise, the people in charge have a lot to evaluate.

Even if you do all your homework, there is always some luck involved when you decide to get rid of a player. You wish him the best, but deep down you hope they don't become the franchise player that you had always hoped they would become. Check out this list and vote for which teams you think gave up a little too soon on their players. These are all of the players that were cut before they became big stars and made their former teams deeply, deeply regret it. Maybe you don't even remember Brett Favre's first team.
