from Chad Finn of the Bruins Blog,
Fred Cusick, the popular play-by-play voice for the Bruins for more than 40 years, has died, his family confirmed to the Globe this afternoon. He was 90 years old.
Cusick, who is scheduled to be inducted to the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame tomorrow night, was a signature voice of the Bruins during their 1970s heyday.
His simple trademark call of “Score!” whenever Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Cam Neely and countless other Bruins put the puck in the net served as familiar punctuation on their goals.

My condolences. Fred Cusik was an institution around New England.
I’m sure the Bruins will do something special for him. He deserves it.
While I was never a Bruins fan I did respect him more than some of his color commentary partners.
The best part of the broadcasts were when he would banter with Sanderson (in the 80’s) about mundane issues.
