My favorite Terry O’Reilly moment was when he actually punched a referee. Too funny. It was a close, hard fought game (a play-off game, if I remember correctly) and the ref made a really questionable call on O’Reilly. O’Reilly, frustrated at the call, turned around and decked the ref. I believe the ref was Andy Von Hellemond. He had a habit of trying to determine the outcome of important games.
Growing up in Boston in the ‘70s, we all wanted to be # 24.
