This Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most famous goals in hockey history, the one that’s memorialized on the walls of countless bars, bedrooms, and offices in Boston and beyond.
It was on May 10, 1970 that Bobby Orr scored “the goal,” the one that saw him fly through the air and into sporting immortality, the one that gave the Bruins their fourth Stanley Cup, their first in nearly 30 years.
The NHL Network’s latest original production, The 1970 Bruins: Big, Bad & Bobby, tells the story of that team through the eyes of the players, coaches, and fans who lived it.
