Former NHLer and Boston Bruins player joined "The Raw Knuckles Podcast" earlier this week and told a pretty interesting story of a locker room incident between Bruins legends Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito.
Mike Millbury's story is about his first practice with the Bruins. He was never drafted, but he spent his entire 12-year career with his hometown team. Millbury recollects the unique interaction between Orr and Esposito before practice, which happened to also be Don Cherry's first day as head coach.
Millbury went on to play 754 games with the Bs, recording 49 goals and 189 assists for 238 total points, but he also had 1554 career penalty minutes in that span.
