Brad Park never sipping Champagne from the Cup is almost criminal.
I still get a lump in my throat thinking about that and the fact that the B's
passed on him for some lump in the 1970 amateur draft only to finally get him in the blockbuster trade of '75 when Orr was skating on essentially one leg.
Did the Bruins management of '70 think that they had Orr and didn't need another uber talented blue-liner?
Imagine (for those of you who also lived in that most incredible time in Bruins history) Orr and Park on defense, on the PK, and especially the PP
for the Bruins for multiple years. Also, if Orr wasn't rushed back from surgeries from day one as a Bruin he maybe could've had several more season patrolling the Bruins blueline and racking up Cups. I've gotta go roll up in a ball and cry now.
