<<Bobby Clark would NEVER get Philadelphia's favorite athlete, hockey is still hockey>>

... now the truth! ... a Philly native and Philly fan pretending to be the New England expert on Boston sports ...

... hockey is no longer king of sports in Boston, but until Orr retired, it WAS sport in Boston ...

... during the Celtics reign in the NBA, it was always easy to get tickets ... even for the playoffs ... the Bruins were awful and usually dead last in the NHL in those years, but they were always sold out at 13,909 in the Garden ... the Celtics average home attendance for most of those championship years was under 8,000 (give or take 1,000 or so) ... and in the same building ...

... Ted Williams was great, but Bobby Orr was and is our sports "god" ...

... ask around at the sports-bars in Boston next time you come in from the potato fields ... <g>
