While there is no comparing winning a regular season game to the Stanley Cup, the first meeting between the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks since the 2011 Cup Final was one of the most memorable games of the 2011-2012 NHL season.
The game was rough right from the beginning, an Bruins enforcer Shawn Thornton decided to start a line brawl.
He did it at the right time, because Boston had the perfect guys on the ice for it, with the likes of Milan Lucic, Zdeno Chara, Nathan Horton and Thornton himself.
The line brawl was highlighted by a fight between Horton and Canucks' Dale Weiss:
