Bruins have built tall, heavy roster with eye toward playoff success
The Boston Bruins have been, for much of their 100-year history, known as a big and tough team that isn't afraid to throw its weight around all over the ice. The Stanley Cup-winning teams of the 1970s with Bobby Orr and Co. and the Ray Bourque/Cam Neely-led teams in the 1980s epitomized the franchise's "Big Bad Bruins" mantra.
