RIP Bob Nevin

[bobbop]

Someone correct me if I'am wrong. I remember a line of Donnie Marshall- Phil Goyette- Bob Niven. Is my memory intact?

He was the captain when I joined the fan base. I believe I remember him playing with Phil Goyette at centre and Donnie Marshall on the left side at some point between 1968-70. RIP Captain Bob.

Goyette's passing ability played a role in my falling in love with hockey.

Me too; I still have a thing for slick passing centers who pile up more assists than goals and its all Goyette’s fault.

Amazingly, after leaving the Rangers at the age of 36.

The chart also makes me wish that all hockey fans could have seen Orr in his prime.

Interesting, when Bob Nevin was 36 he scored 31 goals while adding 41 assists with the Kings.

I was one of the fortunate ones to have seen Orr at his best and in his prime. For all of Orr's incredible offensive prowess what is just as memorable to me was pretty much every game the Bruins were shorthanded, there would be at least one instance in a game where Orr would kill seemingly half the 2 minute penalty by himself by ragging the puck and deking opposing players with his tremendous puck skills and skating ability.

It really was a sight to see and no one to this day could even come close to doing what Orr did while the B's were shorthanded.

Yup Nevin was a solid player. My recollection of him was that if we would use vernacular that we use today. he would be considered a lower echelon top 6 type guy.

I'll never forget Orr holding the puck behind his own net.

Gilbert was positioned in front of the goalie and then circled the net to flush Orr out.

Orr returned to behind the net. Gilbert was back in front of the goalie.

The same exact thing happened again. Fans at MSG were screaming for Gilbert to go after him again.

Gilbert raised both arms as if to say "What can I do?"

Spelled Seiling wrong.

Egers was fun to watch.

Poor Ron Stewart.
