The Boston Bruins and New York Rangers are two of the NHL’s most valued, storied, and historic franchises. The Bruins and Rangers had an epic rivalry in the late 1960s through the early 1970s that created generations of fans.
This season is the Centennial Celebration campaign for both clubs. However, there hasn't been much celebrating. Both teams are struggling to maintain playoff positions. But the good news is that many other teams are in the same boat. The compressed Olympic schedule is gassing all of the NHL teams but keeping the playoff races tight.
Following a hot start, the Bruins are cooling off and becoming what most future market gamblers thought that they were.
Meanwhile, the Rangers remain one of the most overrated and disappointing teams in the NHL.
Whenever the Rangers and Bruins play, interest is high, with increased TV ratings and betting traffic. ABC Hockey Saturday is more impressed with the branding than with the teams' actual performance.
