Sunday was a celebration of 100 years of Boston Bruins hockey at TD Garden, and it was also a reminder of how the Bruins are expected to play. The current B’s gave the legends in the house something to be proud of in a 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

The team’s rich history has been saluted during a year of special events and signature game nights. On Saturday, a slap shot from the arena, the Bruins’ Centennial Legacy bear monument was unveiled, a 3,500-pound bronze colossus that was created to reflect the spirit and resolve of the team and the city it calls home.
