This Day In Hockey History (12/14)

It is the middle of the week on “This Day”.  What do we have in store for today?  I do not know.  However, this was a bit of a special one as the firsts of a hockey player’s career are always remembered.  Here at The Program, we try our best to pay proper respect to them as well.  Without further adieu, today’s moment is from 43 years ago and was the first of many great moments from #4, who simply was the best player ever to don the skates for the Boston Bruins and maybe the NHL.  Here is a video and the moment….

This is kind of a sad moment today as this player was a really good one who probably should have had the chance to do more.  That being said, this one happened 42 years ago today.
