One significant factor contributing to this distinction is the Bruins' consistent success over the years. While their most recent Stanley Cup victory dates back to 2011, they've made three appearances in the finals, including their championship triumph. This sustained competitiveness can stir up envy and resentment among rival fan bases.
Another element bolstering the Bruins' notoriety is the presence of Brad Marchand, the NHL's premier trash talker. While Marchand's on-ice antics are beloved by Bruins fans, they often elicit disdain from others, further solidifying the team's unfavorable standing in the league's popularity hierarchy.
Despite being the most hated team, the Bruins continue to command respect and remain a compelling force in the world of hockey, a testament to their enduring success and competitive spirit.
