Hey, guys, been a while! I found something interesting to do these days, so I decided to dig into the 1978 Boston Bruins roster, and let me tell you, it was a trip down memory lane!
I started by gathering all the info I could find. What I did first was to just type “1978 Boston Bruins roster” into a search engine, no big deal.
It was a bit difficult to find complete information in the beginning. So I tried to change my search query a couple of times, adding “stats,” “injuries,” and “results.”
Finally, I got some useful websites, which listed player names, their positions, and some basic info like birthdates and birthplaces. Cool, right?
After I got a basic list, I wanted to know more details. So I checked out the team’s record for the 1978-1979 season. Turns out, they had 43 wins, 23 losses, and 14 ties. That’s 100 points! Not too shabby, eh?
Then I went deeper, man. I looked up the team’s performance at home and their goals. The Bruins scored 171 goals at home, where they won 25 games. They scored 3.95 goals per game in total, but also allowed 3.38 goals per game.
I also found out who their coach was at that time – it was Don Cherry. I did some digging on him as well, finding out his history and tactics. Pretty interesting stuff.
And of course, I couldn’t forget about the goalies. I even tried to find out who had the lowest goals-against average and the best save percentage. That was a bit tricky, but hey, it was fun to figure it out!
So, here is what I found about the 1978 Boston Bruins roster:
- Team Record: 43 wins, 23 losses, 14 ties (100 points)
- Home Record: 25 wins, 10 losses, 5 ties (171 goals scored)
- Goals Per Game: 3.95 (4th in the league)
- Goals Allowed Per Game: 3.38 (6th in the league)
- Coach: Don Cherry
- Division: 1st in Adams Division
- Conference: 2nd in Wales Conference
It was a blast putting this together, guys. Hope you enjoyed this little journey into the past as much as I did!
