i do feel privileged to have seen him, and other Boston greats play- Can still remember going over to our uncle’s place to watch it- as uncle and aunt were huge fans then- We’d get the popcorn made, and I can still see my aunt screaming at the TV- jumping up when he scored or defended- or When Esposito (Sp?) would do the same-

I think it was a fella named O’Reilly that they called ‘the enforcer’? Whenever a fight would break out? We’d all be o n the edge of our seats watching the brawls hat would break out- lol- was a lot of fun back then- No cable TV- just an old floor model you had to twist the rabbit ears on till you got it just right to see well enough- lol

I lived about 50 miles, as the bird flies from Boston and could not see the puck in the game the reception was so bad. When I was 10, I climbed up a pine tree, took a few branches off, and strapped a UHF antenna on it pointing at boston, and got darn near cable TV reception.
