What role does Cam Neely play for the Boston Bruins? I caught the tale end of the TV crew mentioning that he had a role in the organization.

The Cam Neely trade was the Brinx job part II for the Bruins, #1 was getting Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield from the Blackhawks in the late 60's, incredible.

Cam was a machine on the ice, a goal scoring machine who could knock the stuffing out of anyone with bone crunching checks and he could brawl with the best of them.

The weasel Ulf Samuelson ended the Cams career with a cheap shot check to his lower leg, the piece of trash that he was...................

Yeah, I was a huge Cam Neely fan back in the day. In fact I still have his autographed Jersey hanging on the wall next to my Ted Donato Jersey. I was glad to find out Cam was back with the organization, just didn't know what his role was. I agree 100% about Ulf. I never wish harm to be done on anyone but that guy I would have made an exception.

How much do you think cam paid domi for this, i loved it!!

Sahara if we are talking hockey let,s use the proper pronunciation " orgin I zation".
Just the other day I was watching on E the True Story of Michael J Fox and apparantly he and Cam Neely are best of friends. And that Fox was a hockey player before he got sick.
Also I always watch Rescue Me with Dennis Leary who also is a huge hockey fan. Fox is now on the program and there has been episodes where Phil Esposito has been on.
Warrior lets see how much of a Bruin fan you are, who was the Blues defenseman that sent Orr flying after he scored the winning goal to beat the Blues and win the Stanley Cup?

the Whalers get the Capitals, unless Pittsburg somehow beats them.

Well, well, well, Sports fans, like I predicted, it is sure looking like the 90s for the CAPS fans! Boy, those pesky Pens just don't go away. Of course, I am gloating, yes and I still think the Caps are better this year, BUT, the Pens have always had their number when it counts. Still it is the Caps series to lose, and if they do, they sure should look back on this one as the one that got away. Oh well, it will be fun no matter what!

Thats easy I can picture the guys face. Noel something....can't remember his last name started with a P or S. It will come to me.

Speaking of Tie Domi, his nickname around the league was "monkey"
I worked security for the Blues game and one night passed the Leafs dressing room and there he was half naked and sure as heck, he looked like a monkey.
Most scariest of hockey players up close was Bob Probert.
Having worked security at baseball, football, and hockey games, by far the friendliest, most down to earth players were from hockey.
After hockey games in our police room they always had beer for us and more often than not a couple of players would come by and drink a beer or two with us.
One time our boss got pissed at us for something and cut off the after game beer. Well fear not Brett Hull and Kelly Chase provided it for us!
The only bad thing about retirement is now I have to pay for my hockey tickets, were as before I got paid to go see the games with free beer.

Good night Boston Bruins; 116 points, #1 seed and they are going down in flames to the Whalers, a team that ended up as the #6 seed, won a miracle game 7 vs New Jersey and aside from game #1 of this series, have won every period since.

The Bruins are a young team and hopefully will learn from this; they smoked the Canadiens and knocked the Whalers all over the ice in game 1 and then they just assumed they'd smoke the Whalers too.

Wrong.

Whalers? Who is that? Go Canes! May Southern hockey rule!

Good question; he had the same number as Orr, #4. I think it was a guy named Picard, I forget his first name..............

How true, those Canes fans are diehard, knowledgeable hockey fans...... and we all know what a deep hockey tradition there is down south............

Since I lived in NC my entire life other than 5 years in the Navy, I was almost 20 years old before I ever watched a hockey game on TV. I didn't start following hockey at all until NC got a team. It is really a great sport. In NC though, football and basketball are the big sports here. Football will always be my first love in the sports world, but hockey is now second. I am currently getting ready to watch the Pens/Caps OT. I am wondering which team will become the next victims for the Canes.

Bob Probert was a scary fellow indeed. I remember my uncle telling me that someone had hired a PI to follow Probert around. One day when Probert was on Gratiot he noticed this PI slammed on his brakes and went up to the PIs vehicle and started threatening him and punching his car. Needless to say the PI took off an pulled into the local Police Depts lot which happened to be my uncles pd. Shortly after the PI pulled into the lot my uncle told me Probert followed right behind but drove his car right onto the grass infront of the PD and chased the PI into the station. If anyone knows anything about Probert they know he had a drug problem and he was flying high on this night.

George your right, Noel Picard!
The Blues first three seasons in the NHL after the first expansion and all three in the Stanley Cup Finals. Being new to hockey back then, little could I appreciate that. Now some 40 years later, never made it again.

That goal by Orr is the one most associate with hockey, just like Montana to Clark in the NFCCG vs Dallas is so for football and Bobby Thompsons home run is so for baseball. Not sure what would be the case for basketball...........

 

[rossim1]

That & paul hendersons goal at the 72 summit series canada v ussr. I saw him about 3 months ago, still looks fit.

 

[Warrior]

The Bruins are back from the dead, the Whalers have looked terrible in the last two games and allowed the Bruins to get right back into this series. They are not out of the woods yet as they still have to win a game seven, but they've got the momentum right now, we'll see how it plays out............

 

[mk26gmls]

Yeah, those two early goals the Canes gave up really cost them. The Canes got a lot of shots of goal, but Thomas played a great game.

I hope the Canes can win another Game 7 on the road.

 

[Warrior]

Never say never; the trap the Bruins need to avoid now is the old "ok, we're back home for game 7, it's all downhill from here." Nope sorry, you still have to bring it for one more game.

Should be interesting either way.........
