Back in the time machine when the only station that carried the Bruins when I was living in Newport was channel 38, Don Earle and Johnny Peirson announcing. The reception was so bad, even with the tin foil and coat hangers, had to watch games from a bar where they had something figured out to get grainy reception.. black and white on probably a 25" screen over the bar.
Quite a team; Esposito, Sanderson, McKenzie, Cashman, Bucyk, Bailey and Cheevers ++
Collected my newspapers and saved them until recently, for some reason... it was a great diversion. Recently was in NOLA and went to a bar called, "45 Tchoup" (4500 block of Tchopotoulous) and ran into the owner who is a transplanted Bostonian and her bar is adorned with RS, Bruins, Celtics and Pats gear. My kids and grandkids are not into those kind of sports, I sent a load of stuff to her.. when I go to NOLA can drink for free, wish I was still a degenerate drinker.
Never will forget this image and the huge adulation after it.
Sorry for the trip down memory lane, but everything has a context...
