Tribute to # 24 Terry O'Reilly

I am sure many of you remember the movie Happy Gilmore. They explain that Happy idolized Terry O'Reilly and always wore his jersey. If you have any connection to New England, you know what a sports legend he was / is in Boston. His number 24 is retired by the Bruins and few people realize that in 1977-78 he had 90 points and 211 pims. More importantly, he was 6-01 200 lbs. when he played, and unlike Inigo Montoya - he was left-handed.
But really he was known as the scariest player in the NHL when he played. AVS analyst Peter McNab, has referred to him as terrifying - and the link in the title will explain why.
"We" are still working on the video where he actually went into the stands during a game against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and started beating ass on some fans. We will keep you posted but enjoy this in the meantime.
