Boston has Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, and two Stanley Cups in the past five years.
The Caps have a 1-9-1 record in 11 total games, including 4 losses by shutout.
Goshtigian captures the onslaught against D.C. goalies Ron Low (1) and Michel Belhumeur (31) in a 10-4
Bruin victory.
His photos provide a rare glimpse into the travails of an expansion franchise on a long, and long-forgotten,
