A. Arrived from Chicago in 1967 to center the line with the "tribe leader" and "dessert man".
B. The number of spokes on the Bruins' logo.
C. Suffered a severe brain injury in a bloody stick fight with this "depressed" player.
D. Made the rival team sing the blues with this flying goal in overtime.
E. The last NHL goaltender to play every minute of every game in a season.
F. This former Senator is a workaholic as he regularly logs more minutes than any other Bruin in the 2010-2011 season.
G. This copycat plays the same position, wears the same number, and won the same Stanley Cup as another Bruin who was drafted by the team 46 years ago. Both players also have NHL records in their posts. (Second digit only)
H. Selke-deserving player, even though he has been "in a haze" on three separate occasions.
