This video is the Dec. 9, 1967 broadcast of the National Hockey League game between the Boston Bruins and the Maple Leafs in Toronto (for score, see summary below). It originally aired on Hockey Night in Canada on CBC and was re-run on Maple Leafs TV. The announcers are Bill Hewitt on play by play and Brian McFarlane on color.
This is the second season of Bruins Hall of Fame defenseman Bobby Orr, who won the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year in 1966-67. Even though Boston still finished last in '66-'67, there is plenty of optimism because of Orr, and the offseason trade (heist) pulled off by Bruins GM Milt Schmidt to get Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, and Fred Stanfield from the Blackhawks.
The young Bruins, who also have Derek Sanderson on the roster now (he'd win the Calder!), enter this game in first place, just ahead of the defending-champion but aging Maple Leafs.
Alas, after blocking a shot with his left shoulder late in the first period, Orr tries one shift in the second then sits out as a precaution. Rugged D-man Ted Green gets hurt with eight seconds left, and not having his veteran presence hurt as the Bruins allowed a goal by George Armstrong with three ticks left. Even without the Boy Wonder, however, it was a great match with lots of fast skating, heavy hitting, and frenzied action, one of the announcers calling it "the best game of the season" to that point.
Boston's line of John McKenzie, Stanfield, and John Bucyk was lighting it up, and the trio chats it up with Ward Cornell between periods! Mike Walton, who scored twice and had an assist for Toronto, was the commentator when it ran on Leafs TV, and there's a great segment on the Orr-Walton sports camp for kids. Shaky, who won a Cup in 1972 with the Bruins, also confirmed something that I always believed: He said that the reason Orr wasn't always challenged coming out of his own end and in the neutral zone was that opposing skaters, and I'm paraphrasing here, knew he would leave them in the dust.
And this warmed my heart: both Bucyk in his between-periods interview, and McFarlane during his commentary, mentioned the 1967 Red Sox' incredible rise from ninth place to the American League pennant! My favorite team of all-time (followed by the 1969-70 Bruins)!
Finally, and sorry, I have to do it - held off the score sheet, Toronto's Tim Horton posted a ... donut. Please tip your waiters and waitresses!

I love play-off hockey, but otherwise sports isn't nearly as interesting to me as when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's. The excess of the "look at me" histrionics by players is a big turnoff. I see a lack of fundamentals, especially in baseball and baseball. I wonder if our fathers said the same thing about sports when we were young?

Yes i absolutely agree. Some people say he sounded boring compared to some of today’s commentators who are very good imo but Paul Morris wasn’t a colour commentator as the younger generation fails to recognize that & i’m a part of the younger generation in which i was born on March 20th 1977 which is the same Birthday as the great #4 Bobby Orr🤙 I’ve always had a big fascination with the history of the “NHL” as well as the “AHL” hockey league. A lot of people fail to recognize how great of a league the “AHL” is which is the farm league to the “NHL” teams in which when an “NHL” team has injuries they call a player(s) up to the “NHL” team for however as long as it takes for that “NHL” player to heal from his injuries. Don Cherry🍒 spent most of his professional hockey career in the “AHL” for the “Rochester Americans” & was called up to the Boston Bruins a handful of times etc. There’s an awesome two part series movie🎥 about Don Cherry & i forget who played Don Cherry off the top of my head but he has gone onto do many other roles since then👍

I remember thinking that the Expansion Draft for six new teams was silly. Instead they should promote the Champions, first and second place teams in the AHL to the NHL--intact and in those cities! Then expand the AHL or transfer teams-in-cities from the Central Hockey League. Then, every year for the next 3 years, promote a championship team from the Western or other minor leagues into the NHL! So I thought at the time. (I was a schoolboy in grade 5.)

Excellent quality. Love this early version of the Bruins since the Chicago trade. It's really interesting how quickly Harry Sinden found the lines and defense pair for Boston. With a few changes that's how the lineup stayed for many years. Orr-Smith, Green-Awrey, Hodge-Esposito-Williams or Murphy (later Cashman), McKenzie-Stanfield-Bucyk, Westfall-Sanderson-Shack (later Marcotte) with Johnston and Cheevers in goal. Almost since the 1967 training camp they had the lineup they wanted. Harry Sinden was a mastermind of hockey. Thank you again Mr Goodwin

Just make it as loud as it can possibly be seems to be the goal these days. Dumbest thing ever. Humans are truly regressing. What is the point of playing annoying music chosen by some braindead employee, at eardrum damaging levels? A player can't even pick up his helmet if if falls a foot away from him. Yet 20,000 people have to listen to some idiotic employee who gets off on the arena sound system. What's wrong with a traditional organ played at a moderate level?

They feel like it's there job to inject energy even if the moment doesn't call for it. Therefore when it's a climactic time the crowd is worn out from all the "fake energy" throughout the game.

Fred Stanfield. One of the most underrated Bruins' of all time. Terrific slap shot. In my opinion, the MOST underrated Boston Bruin ever was Don Marcotte. Great, great body checker. I'm from Boston, and went to almost every game at the old Boston Garden on Causeway St. When people say to me that Wayne Gretzky was the "Great One", I can see where they're coming from. They just don't know. All I can say is "Yeah, but you've never seen number 4 play the game." Robert Gordon Orr is the greatest to ever lace them up! There are so many stories of great players talking about Bobby Orr's talent. But Bobby Clarke of the Flyers is my favorite one. Clarke once said about Orr, "There are good players, there are great players, there are superstars. Then there's Bobby Orr! We have the IHL, the AHL and the NHL. There should be a higher league just for Bobby Orr!" I have so many favorite Boston Bruins players. Obviously, Orr is on top. But my next favorite player was always Wayne Cashman. Great, tough left winger. Then there was Brad Park, Phil Esposito, Don Awrey, Ken Hodge, Johnny Bucyk, "Ace" Bailey (R.I.P. Ace. He was on the first jet that crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11th.) Derek Sanderson, Ed Westfall, Johnny McKenzie, and my favorite Bruins goalie, Gilles Gilbert. Then there are the real tough guys. Al Secord, Terry O'Reilly, Stan Jonathan, John Wensink, Jay Miller and Cashman. Loved watching those games!

@petegoodwinboston4825 10 ай бұрын

A lot to unpack, Paul, all of it awesome! Freddy Stanfield did have a great slap shot - in the Blackhawks series in 70, I believe, he blasts one on a breakaway and Dan Kelly goes nuts! ... Also, I would pick Don Marcotte as *my* most underrrated Bruins of all-time! ... I usually give it the old, "you just don't know what you're talking about", when somebody tries to say anybody other than Orr was better. The tone of my voice lets the smart ones know better than to continue the argument ... So many great players, I think Cashman could get more credit, first for playing with Espo and then for captaining the late 70s Lunch Pail Gang ... Loved O'Reilly (he lived in my hometown), but there was a stretch when Jay Miller was just monstrous! Go, Bs!

Also, Montreal goes from bottom to top of the division as well. In the scoring race Espo, Howe, Ratelle, and Gilbert finished 2nd-5th in the scoring race (after Mikita) but are nowhere to be found here.
