The Bruins enjoyed a terrific regular season in which they finished 1st overall in the league, taking home the President's Trophy. Most of the team was put together during last season and the off-season, but some key aquisitions were made during the season, including Brian Elliott (from Washington), Dennis Seidenberg (from Dallas) and Patrick Sharp (from Ottawa at the trade deadline).
