Love Phil Esposito

[@rosslongbottom6362]

He's a great one and Tampa is lucky to have this heroic Canadian. Do all Tampa fans know how he led Canada in the 1972 Summit Series victory over the Soviet Union? What a story. Look it up, your appreciation of Phil will increase further. Tampa deserves him and success, they are a great hockey town.

you are mistaken , in 1972 Canadians lost two games , won one , and one game had equal score.

​@@TheGrafforlov You just read the scores of the games in Canada they were 1 2 and 1 tie in Canada but won 3 out of 4 in Russia to win the series . He was there leader and best player . Bobby Orr was injured .

We share him with everyone but we in Boston know Phil belongs to us….
