May 10, 1970: Bobby Orr
You know you’re a Bruins fan if May 10th sounds a horn for one reason, and one reason only and it happened on this date in 1970. Bobby Orr sealed the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins with his OT goal beating the St. Louis Blues 4-3. The image of Orr with his hands outstretched and flying through the air in celebration has become not only synonymous with Boston sports, but possibly one of the most recognizable hockey moments in history.
The TD Garden, current home of the Boston Bruins has a statue out front commemorating the moment, fans year round can be seen doing their best interpretations. While many can attempt to duplicate, there is only one Orr.
