This is one of my earliest memories of my first love, the Boston Bruins. For a young hockey player growing up in Massachusetts, I had the greatest role models.

Watch Terry O'Reilly completely rag doll is opponent. Then watch John Wensink in all his afro goon glory challenge the Minnesota North Stars bench...then skate away in disgust.😂😂😂

And the greatest moment in Bruins history. I had a game at the Danvers rink where the Bruins practiced in those days one week afger this incident. Met Terry O'Reilly and all the young Dingle could think to ask was how damaged were his skates!

Fun facts:

1. The NHL required higher glass the at all arenas the following season because of this.

2. O'Reilly was suspended only two games.😂😂😂😂

Hockey was actually my first love as a sport. My mother was a flyers fan because she was from philly, so I was a flyers fan too.My dude was bobby clarke, scrappy mofo that he was. he was from flin flon manitoba, which I never got tired of saying. I loved that he had no front teeth. and never wore a helmet, those curly locks just flopped around everywhere. And that he continued to play while being a diabetic, which is something that's never talked about. Back when there were two hockey leagues, the n h l and the c h l or something I can't remember.We had the cleveland crusaders and the cleveland barons, and my parents would take me down there to watch games.Sometimes we sat right behind the bench and if we got lucky, some of the guys would give me a hockey stick or a puck. I had that stuff forever.Don't know what happened to it, guessing my parents must have gotten rid of it when they moved. I actually learned how to ice skate because I wanted to be the first female hockey player on a team.

Hockey is still an amazing sport and I should probably try to get back into watching it at some point. You certainly don't have to wonder too often if one of the guys is going to be unable to play because he was out making it rain in the club and got arrested.

The instigator penalty and the standardization of all the rinks did a lot to change the game and turn it into a much less physical event. Then they started screwing around with the rules about the crease and behind the net which changed the way the game was played even under general circumstances, and now we're stuck watching what is just a shadow of real hockey.

Finally, the greatest fight in Bruins history. Stan Jonathan spills Canadian blood!

Nobody called a fight better than Fred Cusick! I am pretty sure he busted a nut over this fight.

I remember watching the first two clips at home as they happened... Does anyone remember how that MSG game ended before the fighting began? Ray Borque's rookie season too... Was in boot camp for the '78 finals so I didn't see this legendary fight until after I came home on leave...

Phil Esposito had a breakaway in the closing seconds. Cheevers with the save. Bruins up by one and won. Esposito broke his stick in frustration and went straight to the lockerroom. He missed the fight in the stands.

Bingo... I actually watched this game at the Erie Pub at Adams Cornah in Dorchestah because I arrived home from MCAS Beaufort SC for Christmas leave just a couple of days earlier... Absolutely hilarious; and we all ate-up every moment of it. Good times, good times...
