We got a minor league team and I went to a game in '92. First cup final I ever watched was LA/Montreal in '93. I point this out because I did not grow up watching the game and its heroes. Still, the older guys like Orr, Richard, and Howe held a special place in my heart, and I loved reading all about them, the Original Six era, etc. And, I'm not anything close to a Boston fan, but I still admired the hell out of Orr until I became aware of his RWNJ politics. Damn shame.
