While Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci jockey to be top playmaker of the 2011-12 Bruins, one has to think back to some of the all-time best Bruins assist artists.

Sure, Bobby Orr is the first to come to mind, and rightfully so. Orr's 102 assists during the 1970-71 season are a franchise record. In fact, only Hall of Fame forwards Wayne Gretzky (who did it 11 times) and Mario Lemieux have matched Orr by finishing any single season with triple-digit helpers.

Which Bruins playmaker owns the franchise record for most assists in a season by a forward?
