The road team’s locker room in St. Louis certainly can be a little bland, so that’s why the Boston Bruins took part in some redecorating at Enterprise Center ahead of their Game 3 Stanley Cup Final matchup with the Blues on Saturday night.
Adorned on the white walls of the Bruins’ locker room are photos of former and current B’s lifting the Stanley Cup. The photos provide a nice reminder to Boston of just how close it is to bringing the Cup home.
Weymouth, Mass., native Charlie Coyle is no stranger to viewing those photos hanging on the walls.
“Just little reminders of what it could be like, what’s here for us, what’s at stake, and the great opportunity in front of us,” Coyle said according to NBC Sports Boston. “Always catch yourself looking around and just, kind of, taking it in. It’s a really good touch.”
Patrice Bergeron, of course, has had plenty of time with the Stanley Cup, and for him the photos serve as a reminder of what the 2011 team was able to accomplish.
“Every day it’s a reminder of what we’re playing for,” Bergeron said, per Eric Russo of Bruins.com. “Just to get to this point it’s been a long journey…I think it’s just to remember every day what we’re playing for and how much it means to make it happen.”
Those photos most definitely are serving as some motivation for the Bruins as they look to take a 2-1 series lead Saturday night.
