Best player in the most memorable hockey game I ever watched
Game 7 in 1979 everything involved - teams, players, iconic stars, location, coaches, styles, TV announcers, time - it was like no other game I’ve ever watched - it was 3 hours of emotional ups and downs
The 1979 Bruins is in the conversation as the toughest team ever assembled in the NHL - inarguably the toughest skilled team
Gilles Gilbert was fantastic that series - actually the series to me was the greatest I ever witnessed
It’s the only series other than 2011 Vancouver I can an actually feel like I’m watching and relive like it’s happening
I wish everyone here got to experience that series live to appreciate the greatness of Montreal and the toughness and will of the Bruins - especially Gilbert
Phenomenal
