The 1954-55 Boston Bruins season saw the Bruins finish in fourth place in the National Hockey League (NHL) with a record of 23 wins, 26 losses, and 21 ties for 67 points. In the playoffs, they lost the semi-finals to the Montreal Canadiens in five games.
On March 13, 1955, the Bruins became involved in the most controversial event of the season. During a home game against the Canadiens, Bruins defenceman Hal Laycoe engaged in a vicious stick-swinging fight with Montreal's star player, Maurice Richard; when linesman Cliff Thompson attempted to restrain Richard, the latter punched him in the face. The "Rocket"'s actions earned him a suspension for the rest of the season and the playoffs, leading to an angry demonstration on the streets of Montreal by Canadiens fans during the team's next home game against the Detroit Red Wings.
