An Incredible Stat for the Bruins

I don't regularly read the Boston Herald; growing up around here, either your family read the Globe or the Herald, but very rarely both. However, I saw a link to this Herald story about the Bruins last week, and it was fascinating.
The Bruins have played 51 games, and not once have they been blown out - that is, to the extent of losing by three or more goals. To fully understand the significance of this, consider the last team to make it through an entire season without losing by three goals was the 1937-38 New York Rangers.
Honestly? That amazes me. There was a game last night that had a final score of 10-2. That's not common in the NHL, but it happens. Never being on the receiving end of one? Well, clearly that's less common. Go Bruins!
