HOCKEY PROMPT
I think one of the greatest moments in the history of NHL came in the 1970 Stanley Cup finals game between Boston Bruins and The St. Louis Blues. In game 4 of the series. Bobby Orr received a pass from teammate and skated into the Blues' zone. As he approached the net, Orr was tripped by Blues defenseman, causing him to fall to the ice. Despite being down on the ice, Orr managed to flip the puck past Blues goaltender Glenn Hall and into the net, scoring the game-winning goal. As Orr fell to the ice, he was lifted off the ground by the momentum of the shot and ended up sliding on his back across the ice, his arms raised in triumph. The image of Orr's celebratory slide has become one of the most iconic in hockey history and has been used on countless posters and other promotional materials. Orr's goal not only won the game for the Bruins, but it also helped secure their first Stanley Cup championship in 29 years. The goal is remembered not only for its dramatic finish, but also for the skill and athleticism that Orr displayed in scoring it. It remains one of the most memorable moments in NHL history. |
