The city of Boston is no stranger to championships.

Since 2000, the Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins and Celtics have combined to win 12 titles. On Wednesday night in Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, not only can the Bruins balloon that number to 13, they can help Boston accomplish something that hasn't been done in almost 86 years.

It all startedin October when the Red Sox ousted the Dodgers in five games to win the World Series. The Patriots then followed it up with a 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII in February. A Bruins' victory in Game 7 can give the city of Boston the trifecta Louis King Jersey : three titles in eight months.

Detroit's final championship Jake DesJardins Jersey came four months later during the 1936 Stanley Cup Final, whenthe Red Wings met the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Maple Leafs managed to stay alive with a Lucas Campbell Jersey 4-3 overtime win in Game 3, but theRed Wings' 3-2 victory Game 4 gave Detroit its third title in just six months.
