The Goal: Bobby Orr and the Most Famous Shot In Stanley Cup History (Book)

Bobby Orr's flying, diving goal to win the Stanley Cup for Boston on May 10, 1970, is the most famous Stanley Cup goal of all time, capturing in one incomparable, unrepeatable moment all the unique abilities of the greatest defenseman ever to play the game. But while newspapers around the world showed the goal as captured by photographer Ray Lussier, other equally superb images of Orr's shot and flight through the air were taken by photographers who were never as well know. Now, in The goal, all available images are published together for the first and only time ever, in true sequence. In addition to the 19 different photographs of the goal, the book is augmented by exclusive interviews conducted by author Andrew Podnieks from everyone on the ice at the time Orr scored, including all six Boston Bruins players; all six St. Louis Blues players; Hall of Fame referee Bruce Hood; and linesman Matt Pavelich and Ron Ego. Each offers his own perspective on the play, his role in the goal, and his recollections about Orr and the importance of Orr to the team and the game of hockey itself. Archival photos throughout.
