gold star for USAHOF

25. Terry O'Reilly

25. Terry O'Reilly
While the man nicknamed “Taz” was not your most skilled player, he embodied Boston Bruin hockey better than almost anyone.  He was rough and tough (his 2,000 plus PIM tell you that) but he was just skilled enough to provide some solid offense and in a career spent entirely in Boston, he was good enough to score over 600 Points and make two All Star Games.  If this list was ONLY based on popularity, Terry O’Reilly could very well have been in the top five.  The Bruins retired his number 24 in 2002.
