In the spring of 1971 I attended my first Rangers practice. Afterwards, as #BobNevin and @rodgilbert7 got onto a red sports car, Nevin gave me my first autograph from an NHL player (Rod would sign plenty of things later, but I didn't get his autograph then).
That spring was a memorable one for Nevin, as his OT goal in Game 6 won the first playoff series the Rangers had won in years ... and it beat his old team, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

As a Rangers fan at the time, to win a playoff series was a big thing. I believe it was the first time @rodgilbert7 was on the winning side of the handshake line.
RIP, Bob Nevin.
