Watch: Viral Video Emerges Of Bill Belichick Serving As Bruins Banner Captain For Game 2

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick wants another championship in Boston, and he did his best to rally the Bruins. Prior to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Bruins and St. Louis Rams, Belichick became the Banner Captain. Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski and Ray Bour had the same role.

The Patriots are all-in when it comes to supporting the Bruins in their efforts to win Lord Stanley’s Cup. Prior to Game 1, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady narrated Zdeno Chara’s video and hyped fans. Patriots players and coaches wore Bruins hats as they made their way to the field.

New England opened the golden era of Boston sports in 2001 when they won Super Bowl XXXVI. Since 2002, the Pats have won six Lombardi Trophies, and the Boston Red Sox won four World Series titles. The Celtics and Bruins have one championship each.

“It’s what makes this place special, honestly,” tight end Ben Watson said of the great sports success. “It’s crazy over the last 10 years how many championships have been won. I remember being here and thinking it was a lot of championships then. And then to look and see what’s happened, not only with the Patriots, but with the Bruins and the Celtics, even college hockey, it’s just unbelievable the excellence in sports here.

“And I think it is important the support these teams and organizations have with each other. It’s not only for the organizations but the fanbases as well. You have people in this area that support all the major teams as well as the colleges. To see the players who, some of these kids we’re their heroes, to see us supporting as well, I think it’s really important when you talk about building a community and just showing support. Most of us aren’t from here. Most of us have learned what it means to be in New England from (the media) and people in our neighborhoods. It’s great. I saw the clip of back around the Super Bowl the Bruins wearing the hats, so it’s kind of returning the favor.”

That’s how you support your favorite team, right?
