The Bruins created plenty of special memories in 2011, ending the franchise's 39-year Cup drought in June and ending the year on one of the club's greatest runs in recent memory with a 20-2-1 record over the last two months.

Things aren't exactly going bad for the Bruins these days. They're riding a six-game win streak and are 20-2-1 since the start of November.
