Boston Bruins Official Web Site : Phil Esposito: Bringing The Cup Back To Boston (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Esposito, a big, rangy center who had played parts of four seasons with the Blackhawks, was coming off his most productive year (21 goals, 40 assists, 61 points) in 1966-67, but Chicago management was unhappy he had failed to put up a point in six playoff games. |
 | | Esposito began his habit of anchoring himself in the slot, and he'd remain there -- despite opponents' attempts to move him -- for as long as it took one of his wings to get the puck out of the corner. |
 | | Esposito was also a clever stickhandler and passer, and helped run a power play that included Stanfield and Orr on the points, with Hodge and John Bucyk on the wings. |
