Boston Bruins

The Bruins tried to draft Nicklas Backstrom in 2006 and got trolled by George McPhee

Washington had the fourth overall pick in the 2006 draft in Vancouver. The day of the draft Boston tried to trade up from fifth. When George McPhee asked who they wanted, the answer was “The Swede.”

McPhee said he’d run it by the guys at his table–which included a nervous-looking Alex Ovechkin–and they certainly did their best to pretend to consider trading away the pick that would net them Nicklas Backstrom.

Marcus Johansson named ‘second star’ in first career Stanley Cup Final game

Former Capital Marcus Johansson had a huge impact for the Boston Bruins in the first game of the Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues. While he didn’t register any points in the Bruins 4-2 win, his play, especially during the first half of the game, earned him second star of the night.

Johansson was traded to the Devils the summer before the Capitals’ successful run to the Cup in 2017-18, then in February 2019 was traded to the Bruins, making this the 28-year-old Swede’s first Stanley Cup Final game.

He is the last former Capitals player left in the playoffs.
