Argument 23: What Was The Greatest Non Game Moment In Bruins History?

Book Answer: Ray Bourque Changes His Number For Phil Esposito

I didn't know of this before I read the book, but I loved it when I found out about it. When the Bruins were retiring Phil Esposito's number 7, Ray Bourque was to be the last player on the Bruins to ever wear the number 7, because he already had it. But at the ceremony, Bourque skated over to Esposito, gave him a toothless grin, took the jersey off his back, gave it to Esposito, and showcased his new jersey, the number 77. I like that story.
