The guy wearing #4 for Boston is Albert Langlois. This was his only season with Boston. He's the answer to a great Bruins' trivia question: Who was the last player before Bobby Orr to wear #4 for the Bruins?
In that clip of Brit Selby from his first game, it looks as though he has two shiners, but I suspect it's charcoal under his eyes, although the installation of brighter lights for colour TV was still a year or two in the future.

After Bobby Orr wore #4, the Bruins retired the number; after Junior Langlois wore #4, they retired the player.
What number did Orr wear?
cool :)

Then again, it might just be shadows caused by the lighting they had then.
I miss the days of PA announcers talking in a normal voice instead of shouting at ear-splitting volume.
And it's nice to hear the fans talking during stoppages in play instead of ear-splitting rock noise coming from the PA system.

i love these old games!!! bobby orr!!! go bruins :)
if the Bruins would of kept Parent let Cheevers or Johnston go they would of won more cups in the 70s
