Espo was my idol, I remember this. The reason my Mom knitted me the number 7 on my treasured sweater.View attachment 977296

Awh.

You should send Phil these pictures.

One of a kind,

I was around in 1972 but being American and ignorant, the Summit Series wasn't on my radar (Even though Detroit got Windsor's Channel 9, which allowed me to watch Hockey Night In Canada.)

However, I was parked in front of the TV on 3 December, 1987 for a ceremony honoring Phil's legendary history with the Bruins.

I think we all know what happened that magical evening.

It's the kind of thing the Bruins have always done, and continue to do, exceedingly well.

Their only NHL rival in this regard is Montreal.

And absolute credit where due. It was one of the best ideas Harry Sinden ever had.

Raymond:

"This is yours, big fella.

"It's always been yours.

"And it never should have been anyone else's."



Phil:

"He got me. He really got me."

Ray:

"Seeing Phil Esposito speechless. ...

"That was special.

"You don't see that every day."

I have been in a meeting where we weighed our options for moving 4 TV trucks from Montreal to Boston in a 12-hour window during a major weather event. The trucks must be in Boston by 1 PM on Sunday and won't leave Montreal until 1 AM.

We have ruled out I-89 as too risky which leaves I-87 and I-91. I-87 is longer but less mountainous but is also known for dangerous icing.

I voted for I-87 because US Customs in Champlain, NY can deal with trucks better.

Montreal to Boston is in good weather an easy drive,

I-89 is the shortest route at 310 miles but Quebec has had some delays in completing Autoroute A-35 to the Vermont border. The A-35 is the primary route for traffic between Montreal and Boston, although it ends 13.4 km (8.3 mi) short of the U.S. border. It was supposed to be completed in 1967 and now that might happen in 2026.

Logistics have been an issue as Rogers Sportsnet's main truck is not allowed in the US as they have equipment from a Chinese vendor that is banned in the US.
