ICONIC SPORTS PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN

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."
