RIP Gary Doak - 1946-2017

[Fenway]

The Bruins never wanted to lose him but they had to expose him in the 1970 expansion draft and he became the first Vancouver Canuck.

Harry got him back a few years later trading Ace Bailey for him.

I hope Don Cherry has a segment on Doak tonight.

Were you at the Rangers Finals game in 72 when Bailey scored that epic goal

Great to see they gave Don more time for his Coaches Corner this year. Previously they would have probably only been able to mention Doak in the closing 10 seconds if Don wasn't too far behind.

NEW YORK — The Bruins lost a cherished member of their family yesterday when former defenseman Gary Doak died at the age of 71 after battling cancer.

Doak was with the Bruins from early in the 1965-66 season through 1969-70 and again from late in 1972-73 through 1980-81. He won a Stanley Cup with the B’s in 1969-70.

His work away from the ice stayed with those who knew him well.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Gary and his family.

He was a pretty solid defenseman. RIP Gary!

I had the privilege of skating opposite the Bruins alumni four times for the MIT alumni team and Gary took part in all those games. A great Bruin and alumnus.

Sad to lose one of the lunchpail Bruins from my childhood.
