The Boston Bruins and New York Rangers are celebrating their Centennial seasons. Of course, the Bruins and Rangers have a rivalry that was ignited in the late 1960s. That is when Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito manned the marquee for the Bruins against an excellent Ranger club led by Rod Gilbert and Jean Ratelle. Since then, the rivalry has continued, with both teams emerging as major brands in NHL betting odds.
