THE TRADE-- In 1967, the Hawks made one of the worst trades in the history of sports, not just the NHL. The Hawks sent Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge and Fred Stanfield to the Bruins for Pit Martin, Jack Norris and Gilles Marotte.
Esposito and Hodge led the Bruins to two Stanley Cups in three seasons. The hawks, on the other hand, went 49 years before they won it. Hockey's version of baseballs Cubs-Cards Brock-for-Broglio trade.
TONY ESPOSITO-- Retired number. Hall of Fame. "Tony O" threw 15 shutouts in his rookie season. "To-ny, To-ny, To-ny."
