ya cant argue with those choices. Today i remember good ole hal gill!
Great video!
Agree on all top four players. Surprised if anyone would leave Bergeron out.
Part of putting them up on Mount Rushmore is the russsssh! we get from watching them versus memories of the older guys!
Favorite all-time Bruin has to be Bobby.
HOWEVER looking over their careers, I'm tempted to put Bergeron as 1A
This is going to end up as a comparison of hockey eras.
Bergeron absolutely belongs in the top 2.
Going nose to nose with Bobby, Bergeron's 19 year career, nearly 1300 games to Bobby's decade in Boston with a career total of around 550 games wearing black & gold and of a few games with the Blackhawks.
Bergeron going up against esposito? Esposito got his cups when there were only 12 -14 teams in the league. Lotsa blood 😬
But there's a big difference on the targets they're shooting at
Goalie gear has been totally revolutionized. It's funny I saw a bar chart showing the average goals per team over the past hundred years, when Bergeron was coming up, goalie gear was getting bigger -one of the lower years of average goals per team
Bobby came up when average team goals were relatively low also. But that was pre-expansion
Bourque played when all time average goals per team was at its highest since the 1940s.
Different games.
Ray bourque had a Different era than the others
He definitely belongs in the top 4
totally agree with your top four, thinking of putting Bergie further up after looking over his entire career, the league he played in.
Now, if you want trouble?
start asking about the top 5-20 players in Bruins history? Those could be some spicy conversations!
Wish we were able to see more pre-75 black and white highlights.
very fuzzy difficult to see.
Leafs last playoff cup memory is black and white and fuzzy!
I almost feel bad..
NOT!
😆
I had to –
You're a bear 🐻 sitting among the leaf 🍁 pile
that's your Christmas gift

If we could come up with another mountain to chisel faces on I'd have to add Brad. (poetic eh?) …and O'reilly and Oates and Neeley and hey while we're at it why not Iginla!!!
Agree on Patrice. Did you say your Dad played for the Bruins?
Orr, Bourque, Esposito, Neely. I wouldn't object if Bergeron was picked over Neely.
Bobby got screwed by his agent I don't think he would have Left boston
Where does Eddie Shore fit?
Being from Danvers Massachusetts my hometown Ray lives there and he is the best person you'd ever want to meet always helping charities kids Thumbs up on your choices
Can't argue with those picks. I'm sure others will have their favorites but there's been a lot of great players in Boston so it's a personal choice after Orr and Bourque
Hey Court – quick question.
There's a lot of fake websites out there – I read a story on "Harmony Sports update" that Don Sweeney was suspended for three games for making disparaging remarks
an unknown interview that they won't release,
with no direct quotes?
I don't generally believed this stuff but now I have you to check in with!
I should stick to my gut and assume Don's 3-day suspension is just boloney?
Happy boxing Day belated.
Thanks
Is this something you can actually do. If you are going to do this, you almost to have to do a synopsis for each generation. Reason being is because players like Milt Schmit, Dit Clapper and Eddie Shore are going to always be off the lists, because they are out of are memory. There is no one alive today that can remember them play. I got to see my first Bruins game back in 1974 at 10 years old. Before watching the whole video, I am guessing One player is going to make your list, maybe two, but you could easily fill in all four Rushmore players from that team alone. Esposito, Hodge, Bucyk and Orr. and maybe for some comic relief we can throw in Sanderson.
I would replace Bergeron or Espo with Neely. He dominated play when he was on the ice and as with Orr, his playing longevity was cut short due to injury. (I think he still hates Ulfie)
All time greatest Boston Bruins. Just forget the first 50 years even happened. For those few of us with no recency bias, any combination of Eddie Shore, Dit Clapper and Milt Schmidt would take the places of Espo and Bergy. What is great about this debate though is that the Bruins have so many correct answers to choose from.
Orr Bourque Bergeron Marchand
My picks are the same with Bourque in the 2nd Spot over Espo. Just slightly.
Perfect, you had to have Patrice
Great podcast. Seems like you need to do a top ten list. Seems to me if Neely hadn’t gotten hurt he’d be the fourth Bruin. Rick Middleton deserves a mention and I grew to be very fond of Brad Park after he shed the stench of being a NY Ranger.
