Terry O’Reilly

Another guy who was able to instill fear in opposing teams was Terry O’Reilly. He played his entire career with the Bruins scoring 204 goals and over 400 assists.

O’Reilly was known to get in a scrape or two as well with over 2000 penalty minutes in his 14-year career. O’Reilly also racked up over 200 penalty minutes in five straight seasons. He was very protective of his teammates and Ray Bourque even joked about the protective nature of O’Reilly when his number 24 was retired saying that O’Reilly’s banner “hangs next to mine protecting me again.”

He may not have been the fastest guy on the ice, but O’Reilly was there for his teammates and still able to tally some superb scoring stats.
