“Long after I’m gone, this thing will be still going and I hope it goes forever. Forever. Because, without a doubt, this is the greatest thing I’ve ever done in hockey.”
We owe it all to you, Espo. 💙

Phil Esposito's First New York Rangers Hockey Card
Phil Esposito's performance during the 1975-76 NHL season is split between two teams: the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers. He joined the Rangers on November 7, 1975, as part of a trade involving Carol Vadnais, Brad Park, Jean Ratelle, and Joe Zanussi.
Although Esposito never quite matched his previous goal-scoring prowess with the Bruins, he managed to score at least 34 goals per season while playing for the Rangers until his final year in 1980-81. Unfortunately, that season proved to be a challenging one for him, as he played only 41 games for the Rangers and scored a mere seven goals before retiring.
On the back of his card, you'll find mention of his remarkable 76-goal season in 1970-71. During that year, he netted 76 goals and provided 76 assists, accumulating an impressive total of 152 points. Esposito held the record for most goals and points in a single season in the NHL until Wayne Gretzky surpassed him. Gretzky set a new record of 92 goals in 1981-82 and later cemented his dominance with an astonishing 215 points in 1985-86.
Over his NHL career from 1963-64 to 1980-81, Esposito played 1,282 regular season games and 130 playoff games for the Chicago Blackhawks, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers. In recognition of his achievements, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984. Esposito's five or more Art Ross Trophy wins place him in an elite group of players, including Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, and Connor McDavid.

Kändisar (enligt mig)
Vi hade “Kändisar” som tema i fotoklubbens Månadstävling i Mars. Mötet denna dag fick vi tyvärr ställa in på grund av det busiga ovädret som härjat hela dagen över Skåne. Men Månadstävlingen är ändå alltid igång. Som vanligt har man fått gräva i arkivet och försöka hitta lämpliga bilder. Tyvärr är det ju som regel inte tillåtet att fotografera med systemkamera på konserter. Jag har ju trots allt…
