1973: To start the 1973-74 season, the Bruins welcome the Vancouver Canucks to Boston and defeat them 6-4.

1974: This season doesn’t start off on the right foot for Boston–they lose 9-5 to the Buffalo Sabres in New York.

1976: The Bruins take on the old Cleveland Barons and win by a 4-3 score.

1981: The Hartford Whalers play the Bruins to a 1-1 tie.

1985: The 1985-86 season opens with a 3-1 Bruins win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

2007: Chuck Kobasew has Boston’s only goal as they fall 2-1 to the Anaheim Ducks in Anaheim.

2009: The Bruins beat the Islanders 4-3 in a shootout. The game is scoreless in the first and New York looks primed for a shutout when the second ends with 3-0 on the board, but then the Bruins bounce back: Marc Savard, Byron Bitz and Matt Hunwick all get goals with about eight minutes left in regulation. Then, in the shootout, Savard and Blake Wheeler each score.

2010: The Bruins close out their Czech Republic season-opening swing by shutting out the Phoenix Coyotes 3-0. Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton score, David Krejci nets two assists and Tyler Seguin gets his first NHL goal.

2011: On Columbus Day, the Colorado Avalanche discover (pardon the terrible pun) that all they needed to win against the Bruins was one goal and they win 1-0. The one goal did not come until late in the third period.
