This the most "70s" photo ever.

Can someone explain Esposito's jacket?

Expo’s sporting a 70’s flashy tux.

Kinda like this shot of young-Guy Lafleur, still with early-70s' hair:

Could be ‘74-75.

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.

Dryden sure played great goalie and won some Cups. Slack needs to cut.

Rogie!

Young BruinsView attachment 382700 During his rookie season, Bobby Orr received a lot attention from the Boston media. On October 24, 1966, "The Boston Globe" provided what - apparently - was a feature story with a number of photos taken at the apartment Orr shared in Nahant (a half hour drive from Boston) with Ross Lonsberry, Joe Watson and another young fellow who looks a lot like Joe.

My cousins lived in Nahant.

So Lafleur was making about three times the cost of a typical house in 1978. Three times the cost of a typical house in Vancouver now is about $6 million, so it’s not really that far off.

So Lafleur was making about three times the cost of a typical house in 1978. Three times the cost of a typical house in Vancouver now is about $6 million, so it’s not really that far off.

Just looking at it in terms of inflation, Lafleur and Dryden were making the equivalent of around $750K a year. Certainly nothing like what players today make, but still a high-dollar living.

This is the program referenced in this story: The Day I Met Bobby Orr - Puck Junk

Orr estimates that he was 12 years old for this game, putting it around 1960. He claims that he scored two goals and had an assist. This has probably been posted somewhere but I've never seen it before.
