		Clapper spent all twenty of his seasons playing for the Boston Bruins, the first half of his career as a right-winger and the second half as a defenseman.
		Clapper paid Trottier a lesson for his transgression by beating the living heck out of him, so badly in fact that the referee, none other than Clarence Campbell, had to pull Clapper off of the Maroon by his hair.
		Clapper appeared in two NHL All-Star contests and was elected to Hockey’s Hall of Fame in 1947 while he was still an active player.

		Despite the continued presence of Shore, Thompson, and Clapper, playoff success eluded the Bruins for the better part of a decade, though the team did manage several more first place finishes in the American Division and had just two losing seasons.
		Clapper was replaced in 1949-50 by Buck Boucher, who gave way the next season to Lynn Patrick; when Ross retired from his general manager’s position in the 1953-54 season, Patrick replaced him, and remained in that position until 1965.
		The team also saw numerous changes on the ice, as Bauer retired in 1947, Brimsek was traded to Chicago in 1949, and the rest of the Kraut Line, Schmidt and Dumart, joined Bauer in retirement in 1954-55.

		Even though the NHL had by 1943 pared down to the six teams that would in a later era be -- erroneously -- called the "Original Six", talent was depleted enough that freak seasons could predominate, as in 1944, when Bruin Herb Cain would set the NHL record for points in a season with 82.
		Unfortunately, Brimsek was not as good as he was pre-war, and after 1946 the Bruins lost in the first playoff round three straight years, resulting in Clapper's ouster.
		An ominous bit of misfortune came with the banning of young star Don Gallinger for life on suspicion of gambling, and the only remaining quality young player who remained with the team for any length was forward Johnny Peirson, who would later be the team's color commentator in the Seventies.

		He only tried to unretire one number, Aubrey "Dit" Clapper’s No. 5, for Guy Lapointe in 1983-84, and that was a public-relations mistake.
		The number of B's fans who understand who Dit Clapper was is understandably fading toward oblivion, but this shouldn’t be the case for Cashman, whose fans are not yet into their own retirement.
		Those fans remember Cashman was by no means a passenger on the road to two Stanley Cups, and that nobody bled more for his teammates.
