Old time hockey info question -68 boston bruins soecific

[tball]

Prolly deserves put in penalty box, but I was hoping get quick turnaround on info, as creating a bday informational gift thing for bruins fan. The question then, who would?ve been the top/starting line for the 1968 Boston bruins? Any assist with, greatly appreciated

my best guess would be:

Phil Esposito (7), John Bucyk (9), and John McKenzie (19)

edit: they might not have been playing as a line except for power play... :shrug:

Maybe Esposito with Ken Hodge and Ron Murphy, depending on which 1968 season.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968–69_Boston_Bruins_season
- - "Phil Esposito broke league records for points and assists, becoming the first player in NHL history to exceed 100 points, with 126 and 77 respectively. With linemates Ken Hodge and Ron Murphy, he shared in a new record for most points by a forward line with 263."

As mentioned above it would depend on if you are talking about the 67-68 season or 68-69 season. The better team was 68-69 team and that year the "top line" would have been Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge and Ron Murphy. But as many know Phil Esposito was a selfish ice hog who'd stay out on the ice for 2 minute shifts. So he'd pretty much play with everybody and was never really on "top line" because he never got off the ice:mj07:

And that year the Top Defenceman was Bobby Orr and the goalie was Gerry Cheevers.
