En Français

John est le seul survivant de la fameuse ligne ukrainienne du Boston. Johnny entra dans la LHN avec Détroit en 1955-56 mais fut échangé au Boston l’année suivante pour Terry Sawchuk. John est l’un des 18 joueurs de la LHN encore actifs qui ont compté plus de 200 buts.

Details

The Uke Line consisted of Bucyk, Vic Stasiuk and Bronco Horvath. Stasiuk was traded away to the Detroit Red Wings midway through the 1960-61 season. Horvath left Boston for the Chicago Blackhawks following that same 1960-61 campaign.

The trade that brought John Bucyk to Boston occurred on July 10, 1957. Detroit got back Sawchuk after two years with the Bruins and Boston got some cash, along with Bucyk. Johnny had played two seasons with the Red Wings, totaling 30 points in 104 games.

Going into the 1966-67 season, Bucyk had scored 209 NHL regular season goals. By the time his career ended, after the 1977-78 season, he had 556 goals over 1,540 games. That number places him 28th all-time. He is one of just 46 players with 500 or more career NHL goals.
