The Bruins are led by players who know how to get to the top. Aaron Ward (left) hoisted the Stanley Cup in Detroit (1997, 1998) and in Carolina (2006), and Shawn Thornton (right) won a title in Anaheim (2007). New addition Stephane Yelle won two Cups in Colorado (1996, 2001) before signing with Boston this offseason. All three players understand the sacrifice it takes to win it all, and know how to set the example for their younger teammates.
