Bobby Orr's Flying Goal: 55 Years of Stanley Cup Glory

Fifty-five years ago, on Mother's Day, May 10, 1970, Bobby Orr scored one of the most famous goals in NHL history, securing the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins. The video, released by NBC Sports Boston, features rare game footage and interviews with Orr and former teammate Johnny Bucyk. Bucyk recalls, "I was on the bench when he scored. So I saw every move." The goal, scored just 40 seconds into overtime, is immortalized in a widely known photograph of Orr soaring through the air in celebration. The Bruins later honored the moment with a statue of Orr in this iconic pose. This video serves as a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in Boston sports history and the legacy of a hockey legend.
