My first thought was Moe Lemay, but Hockey Reference showed he had zero goals for the B's, I could have sworn he had one go in off his ass way back when. Maybe Bruce Shoebottom? Neither of those guys were old and I don't know why I'm defaulting to the late 80s.

Any idea on rough timeframe?

Ok I need help.

My dad keeps talking about a Bruins player who only scored one goal while on the team, he was older, he was a "playboy and a drunk", and the only goal he scored was a deflection off of him.

He was convinced this happened, and I can't for the life of me figure out who he is referencing.

Anything?
I'm not sure if any of them are drunks or playboys, but I did a quick search on hockey-reference of players who scored one goal with the Bruins and tried to find one who was older, and came up with Ken Baumgartner, Michael Nylander, Wade Redden, and Alex Zhamnov. I'll put my money on Zhamnov for no particular reason.

Does this have anything to do with them playing Detroit tonight? That could narrow it.

I want to point out my father is an idiot, so it’s likely this person doesn’t exist.

But he thinks it was in the last 20 years, and he thinks the player was a Czech.

Sergei Zholtok?

Edit: Nevermind he was Russian, always thought he was Czech. Also - 1993 was 30 years ago, not 20 like I thought. Sigh.

Probably not Czech, but one name on that one goal list that at least sounds like a playboy is Dennis Bonvie

McLaughlin needs to make sure he keeps his head. Wings seem to be going for little shots on him at every stoppage. I guess to see if they can get a retaliation penalty.

Oh... look and the ref got to see the shot to the back roughing that McAvoy reacted to... guess the Ref is okay with roughing and Bruins need to just take kidney punches...

allowed 23 goals in the last minute according to the graphic.
I believe that counts ot goals as well so it’s not quite that bad but still pretty bad. This is 17 if I remember what I saw when it happened the other night correctly

I don’t think it’s a big deal. Nobody would notice if they gave up a bunch of goals in the 15th minute every period.

It's pretty impressive how Forbort is one of the better rested B's playing tonight and somehow still the worst player on the team.
