Phil Esposito reflects on the last Bruins-Blues Stanley Cup Finals

The Bruins have been here before: in St. Louis, with the Stanley Cup on the line.

The previous iteration was 49 years ago but culminated in arguably the most famous goal in NHL history, as Bobby Orr flew through the air in celebration.

This time, however, the situation is reversed. St. Louis has a chance to win the Cup on Sunday, going into Game 6 with a 3-2 lead over the Bruins.

Bobby Orr’s flight, the mid-air celebration of his overtime goal, is immortalized in bronze next to the TD Garden in Boston, and in the minds of many thanks to the iconic photo.
