on the good side, one of my most favorite moments was watching Terry O' Reilly and the Bruins go into the stands and fight with the fans

I was a fan of the Big Bad Bruins of the '70s and I have an O'Reilly goal puck from when the NHL would label and sell each goal puck. As for the Rangers, it took a bit to get used to Brad Park coming to the Bruins but he was instrumental in the success of the late '70s team.

I remember that trade. I think the Bruins got Ratelle and Park (Esposito used to call him Krap) and the Rangers received Esposito and Carol Vadnais.

What a puck collection!

To see the Gumper and Eddie G brings back a lot of memories.

The Rangers brought in a tough guy named Bert Wilson to deal with Shero's street gang. Somewhere on youtube there is a clip of him knocking one of the Flyer apes out cold with Bill Chadwick roaring about what a going over he'd given him.

Was also watching the night O'Reilly went into the stands. Made a lifelong hockey fan out of my girlfriend's 10 year old brother who couldn't believe what he was seeing. I always thought marauding through the stands like that and taking on all comers was a real good way to get a hole put in you.

Carol Vadnais: While he was in Boston Bill Chadwick used to say -"you don't have to take the puck from Vadnais, he'll give it to you." Think that was one of those trades that took the fans of both cities a long time to warm up to.

Again, a great collection!!

I could never get used to Jean Ratelle being a Bruin.

The Rangers never won the Cup during those years, but the hockey was great.

And Bill Chadwick was a great announcer.
