‘When Phil Esposito scored 76 goals in 1970-71 to set the NHL record for most goals in a single season, some Boston Bruins fans altered bumper stickers: “Jesus saves – but Espo scores on the rebound.” In 1982, on the night when Wayne Gretzky broke Esposito’s record at Memorial Auditorium, organist Norm Wullen one-upped that gag by greeting Gretzky with the opening bars of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” No need to assess two minutes for blasphemy. The Lord forgives funny.’
