I love this. For Christmas, I got an autographed picture of this when Phil takes his bow. Awesome stuff.
-
the flowers were a commie plot to injure Canada's players. LOL

Fell-ass posito
-
Espo himself said it was a flower stem. Milk on the ice ... yeah, right.
-
in the next game's introduction Esposito held onto the boards as he skated out to acknowledge the intro as if to stop himself from falling again
-
Too funny. I remember this, and it was definitely a tension-breaker at the time.
Espo later claimed that during the bow, he gave Kosygin and Brezhnev the finger, but I can't see it...
-
he is great :)
-
Espo always had a great sense of humor. Nice touch taking a bow to relieve the tension.
