So, they brought some reminders with them to St. Louis and hung them on the walls of the visiting locker room at Enterprise Arena.
They are framed photos of the Bruins celebrating their most recent Stanley Cup championships. Boston is two wins away from winning the Cup for the seventh time, leading the Blues 2-1 in the best-of-7 Final heading into Game 4 at St. Louis on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS).

"We're here to win a Stanley Cup and I don't want to hide from it," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. "I don't think the players do, either. This is what's at stake, why we're blocking shots, missing games. This is why you're taking a hit to make a play. This is what it's all about. This is, I'd say, the start of your legacy, and this helps build your legacy."
Some of the photos are familiar to the five current Bruins who have their names on the Cup from when Boston won it in 2011: captain Zdeno Chara, forwards Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Brad Marchand and goalie Tuukka Rask.
One photo is of Chara raising the Stanley Cup above his head after the Bruins' clinching 4-0 win against the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Final at Rogers Arena. Others from the 2011 celebration in Vancouver feature Krejci, Bergeron and Rask.
The photo of Rask captures him drinking from the Cup with much of the champagne spilling on him.
"I've got the same one in my man cave," Rask said. "The trainers want to make us feel at home. I'm thinking that's why they put them up. But, yeah, great memories for sure."
There are also two photos of legendary Bruins defenseman Bobby Orr. In one, Orr is wearing a 1970 Stanley Cup champions t-shirt and drinking from a champagne bottle after his overtime goal completed Boston's four-game sweep of St. Louis in the Final.
The other is a poster titled "Triumph" with Orr drinking from the Cup after the Bruins defeated the New York Rangers in the 1972 Final.
