Always loved the fact that Gary Carter arrived in Montreal and made the effort to learn French. Ken Dryden didn't do that till he was elected as an MP.

Johnny Bucyk was the only player with the Boston Bruins throughout their eight year period of missing the playoffs.

Coming to Kingston Arena - September 23, 1967

Johnny Bucyk was the only player with the Boston Bruins throughout their eight year period of missing the playoffs.View attachment 383256

Man, the Bruins were brutal from around 1960 to 1966. I was just looking up their 1961-62 season record, and it's horror-nasty. A 15-47-8 record (.271) tells the tale. That season, Montreal allowed 166 goals against, while Boston allowed 306. Just terrible.

Bucyk led the team in scoring with 60 points, and he was -43 in 67 games, which is brutal, but pales compared to Doug Mohns' and Pat Stapletons' -62 and -58, respectively. (Nine years later, Stapleton would go +48 with Chicago. Mohns also ended up there and did fairly well.)

How bad were the Bruins in 1961-62? From January 28th to March 11th (20 games), they failed to get a single win. Here were their results in mid- to late-February:
vs. Montreal: lost 9-1
vs. Chicago: lost 6-0
vs. New York: lost 4-2
vs. Toronto: lost 7-2
vs. Chicago: lost 8-0

So, in five games they were outscored 34-5.

From 1959-60 to 1966-67 (Orr's rookie season) the Bruins missed the playoffs every season. I don't know if missing the playoffs eight straight seasons is the record - the present day Sabres may have the record - but it had to brutal for Johnny Bucyk to endure.

Terrific young trio: Danny Grant, Andre Lacroix and Mickey Redmond. Would have loved to have seen them together in the NHL.

Philadelphia Flyers' brains trust: Keith Allen and Fred Shero

Ron Schock only scored one goal in the 1967-68 playoffs, but it was a doozy. In overtime of game seven of the second round series between his St. Louis Blues and the Minnesota North Stars, Schock scored the winning goal which sent the Blues in to the Stanley Cup Final.

Don Head was the Bruins number one goalie that season.

It was the only season he played in the NHL.

Here we see Karen Antkiewicz modeling what would be the Pittsburgh Penguins' first jersey. Remains my favourite.

Here we see three of the California Golden Seals during the 1971-72 season

- some time after the trade which brought Reggie Leach (seen here with Craig Patrick and Gerry Pinder), Rick Smith and Bob Stewart.

He just found it easier to talk to the ladies in the bars.

Apparently, the thought of being the best defenseman on a poor NHL team did not appeal to Tapio Levo. After picking up 22 points in 34 games with the Colorado Rockies in 1981-82, he finished fourth in points with the New Jersey Devils (having relocated from Colorado) in 1982-83, with 7 goals, 40 assists and 47 points in 73 games. Aaron Broten led the Devils with 55 points. Then, Tapio returned to Finland.
