Orr, Bourque, Espo and Bucyk. Hesitated between Bucyk and Bergeron, it could be either.

 

[Boreal01]

Bourque, Orr, Park, Esposito

 

[roflstomper]

Any Bruins mount Rushmore without Schmidt is invalid.

 

[JackSlater]

I went with Orr, Bourque, Shore, and Schmidt. Schmidt vs Esposito was difficult for me but Orr already covers Esposito's whole career in Boston while Schmidt was the man for the 1941 championship and can represent the 40s and 50s Bruins. Doesn't hurt that Schmidt was involved with the organization just short of forever. Bergeron is a good contender for that last spot as well.

 

[M2Beezy]

Bergeron, Chara and Miltt Schmidt as no brainers. And couldnt say no to a guy named Dit Clapper

 

[wintersej]

Chara and Park should have no votes.

Orr and Bourque should be at 100%.

Gets hard after that.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

I see no reason for it not to be Shore-Orr-Esposito-Bourque

 

[Dominance]

The 23.1% not choosing Esposito hereby lose the ability to call themselves “hockey fans.” Are you guys insane?

Orr
Shore
Bourque
Schmidt

Bobby Orr, Bobby Orr, Bobby Orr and Bobby Orr.

Orr, Bourque, and Esposito are locks. The 4th is debatable IMO. I went with Bergeron just because I’ve been able to appreciate how awesome he is in real time for almost 2 decades at this point

 

[Larry Hanson]

Bobby Orr at less than 100%
Guy is a top 4 player of all time.

 

[Voight]

Went Bourque/Orr/Schmidt/Shore.... almost one from each "era"

 

[snipes]

Orr
Bourque
Shore
Esposito

Bobby Orr at less than 100%
Guy is a top 4 player of all time.

Top 2 all time you mean.

 

[bobholly39]

Bourque, Orr, Esposito & Bergeron.

I don't like Shore

 

[nowhereman]

Not sure how this isn't Orr, Bourque, Esposito and Shore.

 

[Bruins4Lifer]

A group of Shore, Schmidt, Orr and Bourque spans their entire history pretty well.

 

[Puckclektr]

Orr should be 100% in the poll. He isn’t. If there is any polls that question the credibility of polls, this is a great example.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Not sure how this isn't Orr, Bourque, Esposito and Shore.

Milt Schmidt is Mr. Bruin

Hart/Ross Cup winning captain as a player, who sacrificed 4 prime years to fight in WW2. Then built the 70s Bruins including pulling off the Espo trade with Chicago. Overall he spent 75 years in the organization as a player, coach and GM

 

[wintersej]

The thing about Esposito is that post playing career, he hasn't really been around the city or organization at all. Someone like Bucyk is more of a Bruin for life.

I think that matters when you are talking a Mt Rushmore.

edit: Schmidt is another Mr Bruin for sure.

 

[Albatros]

The thing about Esposito is that post playing career, he hasn't really been around the city or organization at all.

Neither has Lincoln.

 

[wintersej]

Neither has Lincoln.

Ok I actually chuckled.

I assume most people just don't know about Milt Schmidt.

He has a Hart Trophy and was 4th in the NHL all time in points at the time of his retirement. He's an all time great. Bergeron is not even in the same class of player.
