44. Milan Lucic

Milan Lucic was a major component of the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Championship win in 2011 and was a dependable two-way player for the Bruins in the eight years he spent there.

42. Ed Sandford

Ed Sandford was known for two things.  The first was his incredible tenacity to go for every puck.  The second was how he was on fire during the 1953 NHL Playoffs and was the leading scorer though Boston would fall short in the Finals.  Sandford was named a Second Team All-Star 1954 and would be an All-Star Game participant five years in a row.

33. David Krejci

An important part of the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Championship run of 2012, Czech forward, David Krejci brought an impressive workmanlike attitude to the game and led the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus twice, becoming one of the few players to ever do so.  A very good two-way player, Krejci also knows how to light the lamp and would score the most Points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs twice.  

Krejci would play 15 seasons before he returned to his native Czech Republic to play for HC Olomouc, but that lasted one season befre he returned for one last campaigm in Boston.  Overall, he had. a productive 786 Points in 1,032 Games.

32. Tuukka Rask

As of this writing, Tuukka Rask has played his entire career with the Boston Bruins where the Goalie from Finland has done a spectacular job in between the pipes.   Rask was a First Round Pick by Toronto in 2004 but before he made it to the Leafs, he was traded to Boston in a move that still has Leafs shaking their heads.

Rask became a fixture on the Bruins roster in 2009 and was the backup on the team that won the 2011 Stanley Cup.  He would later become their starter, and he won the Vezina in 2013-14 as the top Goalie in the NHL.  Rask would have two more top-ten finishes in Vezina voting before finishing second in 2019-20, and capturing his first William M. Jennings Trophy.  A runner-up for the Vezina that season, Rask's year ended with a thud, as he left the team during the playoffs in what was the COVID-19-induced bubble conclusion to the year.  

Rask would come back to the team, but injuries and issues added up, and he retired during the 2021/22 Season.  His end to NHL hockey might not have been glorious, but he remains one of the best Goalies of all time on an Original Six team.
