What is the song played during the bruins opening video?
Depends on when you attended a Bruins game this season, we've used quite a few. Start of the season our "heritage/historical" video was to U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" but that was quickly replaced with music from Pirates of the Carribean. That stayed the same until our new historical video debuted at the St. Patrick's day game against the Philadelphia Flyers on March 15th. The music for that one is a track called "The Gael" by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, which is also a version of the music from the film the Last of the Mohicans. The "Current players" half of our opening presentation has gone through quite a few incarnations... start of the season was last year's "Ladies and Gentlemen" by Saliva, the next open was to the Dropkick Murphy's "Time To Go." After that we rolled out our holiday open through late November and all of December, which was cut to "Christmas Eve, Sarajevo" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. In the new year we had an open that was a mix of music from the film Gladiator and the piece "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff (which has been in a slew of films and elsewhere). Finally, the newest open (March-April) is set to music from the film the 300 (a track entitled "Fever Dream"). Of course, if you came to fan appreciation night on April 5th, everything was different as our "historical" video was our playoff edition of Ozzy's "Crazy Train" and the main video was set to J. Geils Band's "Houseparty." And the playoffs will hold something new as well!

Why are the Boston bruins called the bruins?
In the 1920s, Charles Adams held a city-wide contest to name his new Boston hockey team.
Because the colors of his Brookside Department Stores were brown and yellow, he insisted that the team wear those same colors.
He also wanted the team to be named after an animal known for its strength, agility, ferocity, and cunning.
The public contest came up with the Bruins, meaning a large, ferocious bear.

Scoring in hockey, at the most basic level, involves getting the ball or puck over the goaline. In either game, being played by a defender does not affect the scoring of a goal, provided it would otherwise have been legally scored.
- In field and indoor hockey, the conditions involved are that the ball must be played legally within the circle by an attacker, and then completely cross the line between the posts and underneath the crossbar of the goal, without leaving the circle between those two events.
- In ice hockey, the puck must be played legally with the stick by an attacker before crossing the goalline between the goalposts and underneath the crossbar.
- um no, you have to kick the ball in the hoop.
