“As you may recall, Torres served up the homer to Bucky F’n Dent.”
And then (oddly enough) a few months later in May 1979, Stan Jonathan stayed on too long and caused the Boston Bruins to be called for too many men on the ice in the crucial last few minutes of the third period of game 7 against the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup semi finals. That allowed the Canadiens to tie the game with the famous Guy Lafleur goal and then beat the Bruins in overtime with Yvon Lambert scoring. Don Cherry’s days as the Bruins’ coach were effectively over at that time and the Bruins did not make the Cup Finals until 1988 against the Edmonton Oilers.
Ahhhh yes Bucky F’n Dent.....What a glorious day it was.....We especially loved the shock and sadness of Fenway Park!!!!!!!
