Post-Game Talk: GAME 57 - We Had 'Em All the Way - BRUINS 6 Seattle 5

[Gordoff]

Amazing how some of the big trades have happened when the team is on the west coast.

Feb 23, same day, but 1972. Minutes before the game in Oakland, Boston trades Reggie Leach, Ricky Smith, and Bob Stewart to Oakland for Carol Vadnais and Don O'Donoghue. The players involved hurriedly switched locker rooms. Boston wins 8-6, after going down 1-5 in the first. Another loose game, just like last night.

November 7, 1975, Boston is in Vancouver for a game the next night, and trades Esposito and Vadnais to the Rags for Park, Ratelle, and Joe Zanussi. Vancouver wins 4-2. The only game da Broons lost out of 10 with both Park and Orr in the lineup.

I remember all of those (and a bunch others) very well.

For anyone who doubts that the Canadian media hates the Bruins, this Twitter account did not report the other fines and suspensions that happened in the NHL over the last few days, just Brad.

I made a mistake, I meant to post the Sportsnet Twitter account, I am not crazy really...lol
