Description
Phil Esposito was the centerman who held the greatest scoring record of them all before Wayne Gretzky came along and broke it - 76 goals in a single season in 1970-71. Espo won the Art Ross Trophy five times, the Hart Trophy twice, the Lester B. Pearson Award twice and the Lester Patrick Trophy for service to hockey in the United States. What's more, he was a 10-time All-Star and represented Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, the 1976 Canada Cup and the 1977 World Championship. While a member of the Boston Bruins, he scored 40 or more goals in seven straight seasons and 50 or more in five straight seasons. In his 76-goal season, he also recorded an amazing 76 assists for a league record at the time of 152 points. After the glory years in Boston, Esposito was traded to the New York Rangers early in the 1975-76 season. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984. Phil Esposito has hand signed this 8x10 photograph of him skating with the puck during a game at Madison Square Garden circa 1979 in New York and inscribed, "HOF 1984". This product comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.
