I grew up in Needham and watched every game on Channel 38 with Fred Cusick calling the action. ( I even remember Don Earle before him.) I still have the LP "Goal Bruins". I've met and gotten autographs from Orr, Esposito, Bucyk, Cashman (he was trashed), Sinden, Rick Smith and Ace Bailey (God Rest His Soul).
It's a small world!
I own that LP also and it is one of my most prized possessions. This record was pressed just three blocks from where I grew up. At the Fleetwood Recording Studio in Revere. I used to walk behind there all the time and pull "defective" pressings out of the dumpster.
My father worked at Logan Airport and some of the Bruins were semi-regulars at a bar in East Boston that he used to go to. John McKenzie, Don Awrey, Carol Vadnais, they'd often show up there after games. Sometimes even BEFORE games. Those were definitely different times.
