I remember in his early years, saying, I won't go to another game as long as he's on the roster. But Doakie worked hard, became an outstanding defensive d-man. And, tough, too. Won me over, but it took time.

Well liked by his teammates and all who knew him. Rest in peace, Doakie.

When the habs retired Guy LaPointes number I started laughing and said Bruins should retire Gary Doaks then. .Not so funny anymore I guess .. RIP Gary

He always had his teamates backs. No matter who the other guy was. I always respected that.

A real fan favorite. Talk about paying your dues. He really earned his keep with hard work.

Still makes me think of Fredo Corleone.

Why would that make you laugh?

Guy Lapointe was an all-time great.

Do you remember when the crowd would chant 'we want Doak'

He was very good friends with Orr

Just one time and I think I was listening to the game of the radio.

 

[Fenway]

We used to call him hard head

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

I remember watching Bruins games with Dad as s child and he always called Gary , " Doak without a stick " because he was always losing his stick . Rest in Peace.

RIP.

Solid Bruin for many good years.

Shocker. Loved his style of play. Would do whatever it took to sacrifice for the team. Seemed to be hurt quite a bit as result of that. Tough as nails and a hell of a defensive defenseman. RIP

I remember that he did have their backs. He was too young.

Very sad.
