The Bruins' Mount Rushmore(and other teams)

Before I opened this article I thought about it and went with Orr, Shore, Schmidt and Bourque.

Espo doesn't get enough credit.

Espo doesn't get enough credit.

I agonize over Espo when doing these.

I agonize over Espo when doing these.

He was an MVP on a team that had Bobby Orr.

Before I opened this article I thought about it and went with Orr, Shore, Schmidt and Bourque.

I think that's what it should be. Espo overlapped with/was overshadowed by Orr. With those 4 guys you listed, you pretty much have everything Bruins covered in the 20th century. Shore in the 20s and 30s, Schmidt taking it up to the 50s then coaching til the mid 60s, Orr until the mid-70s, then Bourque up to 2000.

Orr, Shore, Esposito and Bucyk

UPDATE - Must have had heat stroke - I meant Orr, Shore, Esposito and Schmidt

Orr, Shore, Esposito and Bucyk

No Schmidt? He's second

Bourque gets disqualified for bailing for Colorado

Orr
Schmidt
Shore

I think a plaque would be nice for Ray.

My post expansion would have Ray

Orr
Espo
Bucyk
Bourque

Orr, Shore, Esposito and Bucyk

I had a complete braincramp - replace Bucyk with Schmidt

Orr bailed for Chicago

Orr bailed for Chicago

Wasn't Bobby lied to about the Bruins offer (an ownership stake in the Bruins) before being led by Eagleson to sign with his owner buddy in Chicago? Seems to me that there were extenuating circumstances to his departure from Boston.

It can be no other way IMO

Krejci before Marshmont!

 

[Danton Heineken]

Mowers

[Trap Jesus]

Thomas,
Chara
Bergeron
Marchand

I do think Bergeron will be in this discussion eventually. No one has really defined the Bruins like he has in the 2000s, and the Bruins have had a good deal of success in that span.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Thomas,
Chara
Bergeron
Marchand

In my life so far that is my list, obviously not the all time list.

 

[Gee Wally]

Orr, Shore, Schmidt, Charles Adams

 

[EvilElf63]

Samsonov
Carter
Khristich
Allison

8 year old me agrees.

 

[Fenway]

Orr, Shore, Schmidt, Charles Adams

No Charles Adams - the Bruins never happen.

In 2015 dollars he paid the NHL $500,000 to get a franchise in 1924. We as fans usually don't like owners but without him none of the last 91 years of Bruins history happens.

Julien's Mount Rushmore:

Thornton
Campbell
Paille
Kelly

 

[Caper Bruins fan]

Thomas,
Chara
Bergeron
Marchand

That would be mine also.Perhaps I am putting too much emphasis on the 2011 Cup and 2013 Finals appearance but damn those times were so much fun.
