In Our Blood
Shortly after the Bruins clinched the 2017 Playoffs, the team released an advertising campaign titled 'In Our Blood.' The centerpiece of the campaign is video vignette that immerses the audience in the passion of Bruins fans - one of the most dedicated fan bases in all of sports. The creative was developed by Boston-based advertising agency MMB. Fans are showing their pride on social media throughout the Playoffs using #InOurBlood. Visit BostonBruins.com/InOurBlood for more #InOurBlood content.
Fan Banner
The giant Bruins flag has been traditionally passed by fans before all Bruins playoff games since 2009. In past seasons Bruins legends, first responders and individuals affected by the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing have served as honorary captains to start the banner's trip around the TD Garden Loge section. This season the honor will go to inspirational individuals who are connected to the Bruins, Boston and the greater New England community.
Boston Bruins Playoff Rally Towels
All fans attending Bruins Playoffs games at TD Garden will receive a customary gold playoff rally towel. Round 1, Game 3 towels are courtesy of AT&T and Game 4's giveaway is courtesy of National Grid.
Bruins Beard-A-Thon
Once again the Bruins will be hosting Beard-A-Thon. Fans are invited to 'Grow One for the Team' by growing a playoff beard to raise money for the John Martin Fund and the Boston Bruins Foundation. John is a loving husband and father as well as a long-time videographer at The New England Sports Network, who was recently diagnosed with ALS. This devastating news has meant an early and unexpected retirement, plus a whole lot of uncertainty about the future.
