The Boston Bruins , once a dominant force in the NHL with six Stanley Cups to their name, are spiraling into one of the most disappointing seasons in their century-long history. As of now, the Bruins sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division with only 69 points from 76 games, and a brutal 10-game losing streak to their name — their worst since the 2009-10 season.
Boston Bruins supporters are calling for a full rebuild after parting ways with team cornerstones
Thursday’s 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens only added salt to an already gaping wound. The defeat marked another low in a season filled with missed opportunities, poor execution, and mounting fan frustration. Even defenseman Nikita Zadorov acknowledged, “The other teams are just hungrier than ours. They want to win more, that’s the bottom line.”
Fans and analysts alike are pointing to key turning points in Boston’s downfall — most notably the controversial trade of long-time captain and franchise icon Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers. Many believe this decision stripped the team of its heart and identity. “They weren’t the best all season but look what happens when you trade the heart (Marchand) away from the team?” one fan lamented.
Before Marchand’s departure, head coach Jim Montgomery was let go after two seasons. Ironically, he now leads the St. Louis Blues, a team riding an 11-game win streak — a cruel contrast to the Bruins’ collapse. A Blues fan couldn’t resist taunting, “Good thing your owners let Monty go ..Loving our 11 game win streak.”
As frustration boils over, some Bruins faithful are embracing the pain as a necessary step toward a rebuild. “I’m actually loving it. Time to rebuild/retool!!” said one optimistic fan, while another called it “Long overdue for the Bruins to be bad.”

With a daunting matchup ahead against the red-hot Hurricanes, the Bruins risk tying their infamous 11-game losing streak from their inaugural 1924-25 season. Whether this is a temporary stumble or the beginning of a longer decline, one thing is clear — Boston fans demand answers, and perhaps, a new era.
