Rex was good.

These guys weren’t.

Leetch
Stevens
(Was Coffey here for a, well, cup of coffee —-or am I misremembering?)
Nilan was a disgrace.

Yes, Coffey had a cup.

Harry and OC signed so many from the Over The Hill Gang it isn't funny.

Alexi Zhamnov and a slew of JAGS in the scramble to fill out his roster after OC did what the old man instructed and let their best players go, thinking they would snap up all kinds of gems for pennies after the lockout.

It really worked out.


Honestly. Leetch, Joey Mullen. Kevin Stevens. Way back, I couldn't believe it but that actually signed Guy LaPointe at the end of his career, which is very sad. Marty LaPointe was great for Patrice but unfortunately didn't work out. Rick Tochet?

Jozef Stumpel, a figure of tedious fun for the Awful Eddie Andleman and the eei dopes.

How about the immortal Jim Wiemer, a name which struck fear into the hearts of opponents?

Sinden pulling the trigger on that big Petri Skriko deal?

Jon Casey? Where's inane KPD when I need him? (Actually, take your stupid, mean spirited, cynical, hackneyed "Jon Casey and the Amazing Technicolor Five Hole" and place it properly, Kev.) John Blue, anyone? How about Blaine "Let 'Em In" Lacher, as KPD disparaged him (after initially hyping same as "the Lachness Monster")? Once a hack, always a hack. And that was the early 90s, ffs.

Hannu Toivonen and his mysteriously injured ankle.

The redoubtable Jason Allison, who, unbelievably, was the Bruins' captain at one point.

There's too many for me to name, or, frankly, care to remember.

I would say,

Adam Oates, outstanding trade.

Dave Poulin was an excellent acquisition and remains, like Chris Kelly, a personal favorite.

Reed Larson wasn't bad. Jeff Odgers. Jeff Lazaro. Steve Leach.

Andy Moog. Reggie. Byron Dafoe.

And that's just the 90s.

To the tune of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.

Here's a pic of our D-corps for that 83-84 season - looks pretty darn good. :thumbu:

Top Row: Milbury, Kluzak, Doak( Coach ), Hillier and Schoenfeld
Bottom Row: O'Connell, Bourque and Lapointe

Holy pooh. I had *no idea* Schoeny played for the Bruins. I always liked his fiery attitude playing for Buff.

And then there was 88 as NJD coach.

But I digress.
