SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Country music star Johnny Rodriguez, a
popular Mexican American singer best known for chart-topping
hits in the 1970s such as “I Just Can’t Get Her Out of My Mind,”
“Ridin’ My Thumb to Mexico” and “That’s the Way Love Goes,”
died Friday in San Antonio from health complications after
entering hospice care.
On May 10, 1970, 40 seconds into overtime of Game 4 of the
Stanley Cup final, Boston Bruins star Bobby Orr slips the
winning goal past St. Louis Blues goaltender Glenn Hall.
After scoring, Orr leaps into the air before landing flat and
sliding into his teammates’ embrace. The famous celebration
is immortalized by Boston Record-American photographer
Ray Lussier, whose image of the soaring Orr is one of the
most famous sports photographs of all time.
In Boston sports lore, Orr’s game-winner, which made the
Bruins NHL champions, is known as "The Goal."
