Boston Bruins struggles continue as 15-year streak officially comes to an end

Over the past few decades, the Boston Bruins have been arguably the most consistent team in the entire NHL during the regular season, and with their Original Six pedigree, it's unsurprising that they are one of the league's most popular teams.

That popularity is most important at home, where they have immense support from their fans, with a home sellout streak that dates all the way back to December of 2009, just short of 15 years.

However, that streak has now reportedly ended, with Ty Anderson revealing that they fell around 300 tickets short of continuing that streak this season.

This comes on the back of the controversial move to fire Jim Montgomery, who posted a 120-41-23 regular season record in three seasons as Head Coach, but after an 8-9-3 record to start the season, the pressure became too much and forced GM Don Sweeney's hand.

Throughout that streak, the Bruins managed to pack out their arena when fans returned after the Covid-19 pandemic, and still saw their building at full capacity through some surprisingly lean years.

Unfortunately, though, this streak ending coincides with the early season struggles that have led to a coaching change, so we will now have to wait and see if these changes can help this team turn things around both on the ice and in the stands.

With stars like Charlie McAvoy, David Pastrnak, and Jeremy Swayman all on the ice, Bruins fans are spoiled with a lineup that most teams would desperately enjoy having, and if the team is to turn things around with this current group, they'll need the support of their fans in a big way.
