The Bruins have hosted a talented slew of rookies throughout their longstanding history, and they continue that tradition today as they host two talented youngsters on their forward lines in Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin.
Though Marchand is a stretch for this year's Calder Trophy — as he is going up against the likes of Michael Grabner and Logan Couture — it got us thinking about other Bruins rookies that have reeled in the league's top rookie honor.
Thursday's The Four's Question of the Day asked fans to name the Bruins' last three Calder Trophy winners.
The last Bruins' rookie to win the trophy was Andrew Raycroft, a talented netminder who earned the Calder in 2003-04. Raycroft ranked fifth in the NHL in save percentage (.926) and sixth in goals-against (2.05) that season. He now plays between the pipes for the Stars.
Before Raycroft, there was Sergei Samsonov, who called the Calder his own after his impressive 1997-98 season, where he ranked fourth on the team in points (47) and goals (22).
And of course, before Samsonov, there was B's legend Ray Bourque. The defenseman's first of 21 years with the B's was a solid one, where he registered 65 points, ranking second on the team in assists with 48.
