Those card stores still exist…. It’s called eBay now…. Still love collecting, though only vintage cards…. Pre 70s hockey and baseball…. Joey never saw another ppg season after leaving the B’S but became a very good defensive center…. Smart guy too who took up a job in aeronautics after career I believe…. Was also a pilot…. Have a few that have opened up here and card shows are back which I love. Still collect and loving it. I stopped buying new stuff in the early 90s…. Too many brands and outrageous prices…. Grew up buying nickel and dime packs back in the late 60s…. Only buying through eBay nowadays and mostly hockey and baseball from the 60s…. Kel, how about you?….

I would have liked to see what he could have done if he had stayed in Boston. He never hit 20 goals in a season after leaving the Bruins, but he did have 85 points in 74 games the year he was dealt, and he missed the point/game mark the next year when he and Bondra teamed up - Juneau with 5 goals and 38 assist, Bondra with 34 goals and 9 assists. I loved defending against teams lines like that, as lousy a player as I was. You know what's coming every time. I loved that two thirds of that line were RPI grads. Think Joey would’ve carved out a pretty good career with the B’S…. Great skater with good hands but I think he was better suited as a center rather than as a winger…. Very good defensively also…. Unfortunately, the nobody-makes-more-than-Raymond rule put him on a rail out of Boston…. Too bad the best Uncle Harry could get for Joey was damaged goods….

Sergei was one of my favorite players, but not going to crack my top 12. Sergei was dubbed the “Magical Moscovite” by KPD….

Best team I've watched probably looks like...
The Perfection Line Juneau-Oates-Neely Lucic-Krejci-Horton Thornton-Savard-Allison Chara-Bourque Lindholm-McAvoy Wesley-Seidenberg Thomas Rask

O'Reilly-Oates-Neely — I wish teams other all-time teams the absolute best of luck getting the puck out.
Marchand-Bergeron-Nifty — “and I thought the 1st line was really tough to deal with” ~ Scotty Bowman
Marcotte-McNab-Schmautz — “I never go into battle without my man”. Casey wasn't talkin bout Mickey. It was Yogi. Marcotte is mah man!
Jonathan-Linseman-Lucic — There is absolutely no need for remarks. Ok…well a line only a mother could love.
GOAT-Park Chara-Bourque Kluzak-McAvoy Ference
Gilbert-Rask
Harry couldn’t even eff that team up.

Johnathan, Wensink, Lucic McQuaid, Orr (he could really fight!) Cheevers Like a line from Slapshot!

It took a perfect shot from Flower to tie that game…. If not for Gilbert to come in relief by starting game three, the series would’ve been over quickly…. Sad to see that lunch pail gang come so close…. They also cost me a few nights sleep….

This is way too much work.
I want to do something easier and funner.
Funniest names?
Wacey Rabbit Trevor Kuntar (ok, yeah, drafted and never played (yet), but the BadHab doesn't follow rules) Kevin Shattenkirk (Captain Kirk) Miroslav Satan Bill Quackenbush Bob Beers Tuuka Rask (closest goalie to qualify)
That's it. Now I'm all tired out.

Yah, he was on a cup winning team, but let's be honest, he was a cement head. oh. That Thornton. Never mind.

Wow, time really goes slower when you are a kid. Joey Juneau was one of my all-time favorites as a kid. Used to go to the card stores (remember those?) and buy all his individual cards as a Bruin and Capital. Just looked him up, shocked he was only a Bruin for three years and that first year hardly counted. Those card stores still exist…. It’s called eBay now…. Still love collecting, though only vintage cards…. Pre 70s hockey and baseball…. Joey never saw another ppg season after leaving the B’S but became a very good defensive center…. Smart guy too who took up a job in aeronautics after career I believe…. Was also a pilot…. The brick and mortar card stores still exist too.

Love the thread and possible line combinations..but it also got me thinking about Bruins players whose best years were either before or after their stint with the Bruins.kinda the opposite of Joey Juneau..note..they may have totally sucked with the Bruins or were great for a season or two but were much better for much longer with their other teams...
How about these names?
Goalies... Felix Potvin, Bill Ranford , Terry Sawchuck Defense... Paul Coffey, Brian Leetch, Guy Lapointe, Dougie Hamilton, need 2 more here
Forwards...
Jagr,Iginla,Thornton Andreychuk,Hall,Mullen Seguin,Rick Nash,Kevin Stevens Recchi,Reggie Leash, Butch Goring
Honorable Mention.. Simon Gagne, Mats Naslund, Kessel, Backes Propp, Bill Giering Any others worthy??? I know I have to be missing some biggies. Fun.

Here are some guys who went on to better things after leaving B’S: B.Parent…. 2 Conn Smythes, including one after beating B’S in ‘74 A.Secord…. became 50-goal scorer playing with Denis Savard Although they never played with the B’S, these guys had pretty good careers after no longer being B’S property K. Dryden…. 6 cups in 8 years, some at the B’S disposal R. MacLeish…. Flyers #2 center during cup runs…. great skater M. Howe…. HoF d-man

Always liked McNabb. Figured the sensible one in Slapshot, was written in, as a caricature of Peters spot on the Bruins. Not near good enough to crack the 100 year team though. Bergeron would be 3rd or 4th line center. Esposito and Ratelle are 1, 2. Probably at least one before my time to take that other spot. Milt Schmidt maybe? Steve, I think Peter will crack the top 100…. 36-41 goals in six seasons and 7 straight ppg ones should attest to that…. Another heist from Uncle Harry…. yeah, he's definitely top 100, he just wasn't good enough to be considered one of the top 4 centers in the last 100(20 man team)
