Esposito was named to the NHL's First All-Star team six consecutive times (from 1969–74), and won the
Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player in 1969 and 1974.
His Boston fans, celebrating his scoring touch during his heydey, displayed bumper stickers that read, "Jesus saves, Espo scores on the rebound." Esposito, while not a fast or graceful skater, was best known for his unmovable presence in front of the opposition net from which he could score from all angles. Esposito has said: “Scoring is easy. You simply stand in the slot, take your beating and shoot the puck into the net.”
