Bobby Orr went on to lead the Bruins in a March through the 1970 playoffs scoring nine goals and 11 assists. The march culminated on May 10, 1970, when he scored one of the most famous goals in hockey history and one that gave Boston its first Stanley Cup since 1941. The goal came off a give-and-go pass with teammate Derek Sanderson at the 40-second mark of the first overtime period in the fourth game, helping to complete a sweep of the St. Louis Blues.
The subsequent photograph by Ray Lussier of a horizontal Orr flying through the air, his arms raised in victory – he had been tripped by Blues’ defenseman Noel Picard after scoring the goal – has become one of the most famous and recognized hockey images of all time—and today is highlighted in the opening sequence of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Hockey Night in Canada telecasts.
Presented is a wonderful display (22.5″ x 34″) featuring, “the Goal” by Orr as well as his autograph on a piece of cut parchment (5×9 in matte). The piece of paper was signed in dark blue ballpoint (“9”) by Orr. The display is well decorated with the central famed “Goal” image as well as a copy of the score sheet from that game on May 10, 1970.
