Met him at a golf tournament in the mid-90s. Nice guy. I asked him what he does now and he said “I’m Bobby Orr. That’s my job.”
A man who never has to buy anything as long as he lives in Boston
very cool
Thats one of the Best jobs
You aren't the 1st guy I've heard that has said Bobby was a pure class gentleman!
Very nicely done. I was blessed to be alive and and saw this live. A nine year old kid. The Boston Bruins were legends to me. Thank you.
One other BIG reason that goal is so famous is....it was an AFTERNOON GAME! All the kids were still awake to see it live! Including 6 year old me!!
I was 6 at that time as well living in Cambridge. I was watching that game at my neighbors house. It was mother's day and my mom was in the hospital. She was a good Canadian woman who passed away 3 years later.
I grew up near Worcester, MA. Every kid I knew did the Bobby Orr "jump" when diving into a pool.
From a life-long St. Louis Blues fan: Robert Gordon Orr is the greatest player in hockey history. As a young Blues fan, I remember holding my breath whenever he got the puck. It could've been behind his goal, setting up behind Cheevers/Johnston and surveying things -- the opponent was already in some degree of peril. You watch Orr highlights, and after 1-2 strides you can see the eyes popping -- "Oh, *&!&%#!! -- on all the checkers. Bobby Orr changed the game forever, he needed no one to watch his own back for him, no superstar in any sport has ever been more humble... I could go on and on. Number 4 is the greatest ever.
you are so spot on!!!! he would skate circles around most players and i thought how the hell!!! take the puck from him wont happen ect.. blew me away but so did the hole team!!! fun
#99 ring a bell there Sparky? #9? Both better than Orr...
@@Leartech81 No question about the greatness of Gretzky and of Howe. No debate there. Orr changed the game from the back end. Would you want Gretzky on the PK unless he were out there to cherry-pick? Who do you think would most likely win a mythical game between five Orrs on the ice and five Gretzkys? Between five Orrs on the ice and five Howes?
@@timwoods3171 Gretzky's and Howe's all day long. They'd even win shorthanded...
Gretzky is the best Orr is good but not number 1
I got Bobby Orrs autograph at St. Michael's college arena in Toronto back in 1997.
Do you have it on display somewhere?
@@CBCSports No I don't. Bobby autographed the lineup section of the game program between the Toronto St. Michael's Majors and the Kingston Frontenacs
"I a Gave My Nephew The Poster of The Bobby Orr Overtime Goal Flying Through The Air When He Started To Play Hockey Where My Brothers And I Were Retired From Playing Hockey!"
There's a statue of his dive in front of the TD Garden in Boston MA where Bruins, Celtics, and concerts are held and the main train station is in the same vicinity. As a college student commuting in and out of Boston, I walked by it every day. Now I know the story behind it
Noel Picard (#4 who tripped Bobby Orr on this goal) related a story of how Bobby Orr helped his daughter to pay for her education and housing at school.
It was great being a kid watching him play and being a boston fan living in Providence, r. I
I really enjoy Providence. Used to gig at the Livingroom. Federal Hill blows the North End away!
T.V. 38 with Fred&Johnny. Somebody fine tune it in or move the rabbit ears!! Those were the days.
I saw this live on TV.
And another thing that rarely gets mentioned, Bobby Orr, #4, scored the 4th goal, in the 4th period of the 4th game of the series, in his 4th year with the Bruins.
yep, I also mentioned this in the comments, and it was Boston's 4th cup, and he scored the goal at the :40 second mark. God showing his hand ....
I remember this vividly, I was only 11 years old and watching it in the basement and when Orr scored I ran outside to tell my Dad who was cutting the grass. Some things stay in your head fprever and this is one of them.
May 10, 1970. Section 72, Row A, Seat 5.
good for you, i wish i was there with you
I have a copy of that picture signed by the man himself on my wall.
Orr is my uncles neighbor. hes an even better man than a player. one year on the 4th of july my aunt and uncle realized my cousin wasnt with them, they started looking for him up and down the street as the fireworks started, only to find my cousin on sitting on the shoulders of Bobby Orr, watching the fireworks. Orr does anything in his power to make any and every kids night, regardless of the situation
I'm not the first to say this, but what are the odds that No.4 scores Boston's 4th goal of the game in the 4th period, winning the 4th game of the series at the :40 second mark to win the Stanley Cup? Later that year, Orr won all 4 trophies, it was Boston's 4th Stanley cup, and it was Orr's 4th year in the league. And one of the 2 cameramen who witnessed the development (in the darkroom) of Orr's famous photo flying through the air? His last name was Forman. Now that indeed is picture perfect!
Even the guys name sounds like four
guess it was all karma
Plus their 4th cup
@@user-cs1im3su5v cool, thanks for the info, wow
@@user-cs1im3su5v thanks, I didn't know that re the cup. I've thought a lot about 'why the number 4', and it occured to me, it's the 4 elements - earth air wind and fire. God combined them into the perfect athlete. Way too coincidental to be anything else...imo. Cheers.
I went to my bathroom and left the door open because I was too nervous to watch the overtime so I never saw the goal live only saw the replay.
Damn
Only Boston fans will understand the fear of watching a game through clenched eyes or waiting in a nearby room. That's how I got through the 07 and 13 Sox wins.
@@samanthasays3603 I understand completly.
I used to do that for Mets games as a kid. Seems so silly now 😂
@@treygray2817 I'm worse today. lol.
Great job Lussier 👍🏒🇨🇦
Dedicated to one of my favorite nephews!.
Remember when I heard it on the radio as a 10 year old going to my grandparents house
Bobby Orr the other GREAT ONE
Paul Henderson's goal against the Russians is the most famous goal for Canadians, even though Bobby is a beloved Canuck.
I agree... But we are talking NHL here!
@@elonmusky5366 I get it but it's strange that it's the CBC talking and the "99 will say this" from a Canadian broadcaster still ticks me off. ;-)
its the greatest picture a goal!! EVER!
@@nahpoli That for sure! lol
1:32 Derek Sanderson looks and sounds like McGrath the manager of the Chiefs from the movie Slapshot!
🤓🤓🤓
I was drinking a beer at the time. Needless to say my beer bottle hit the ceiling so hard it actually smashed after that goal. I remember it like it was yesterday!
Reminds me of a goal Modano scored when sweeping across the crease, getting tripped up going airborne and STILL moved the puck around the goalies foot into the back of the net, it was freaking insane 😂
Never heard of Modano.
@@user-db6pt7vr3l that's either a joke or you're very young. Mike Modano was/is known as the greatest American born hockey player, retired in the late 2000s
Saw this goal on a B&W fuzzy TV. I was a Blue's fan but knew they had no chance in that series.
Yes, and the Blues two best defensemen, Al Arbour and Barclay Plager were out with injuries. That really put the Blues in an impossible hole.
Me too. A fuzzy B&W TV with a 16 inch screen. About the size of a lap top screen. And when you wanted to change the channel you had to get up and walk across the room and turn a dial, LOL. What a primitive age we grew up in.
WoW ! I knew he can fly and score at the same time, secure his defensive zone while doing so, block the other team's players just passing by, substitute the goalie in real time and of course, all this and more, while selling popcorn along the bleachers all the time. Iron Ore at its best, the true American one man team ... I forgot ... all this on one leg, the injured leg of course.
Lussier, the photographer, won the Pulitizer Prize for that photo.
Derek Sanderson seems like a cool guy
This series was barely watched; St Louis was a hopelessly untalented team just there because of expansion. Theatrics like this didn't strike me as amazing. On the other hand, Orr was the most gifted hockey player I have watched matched only by Gretzky.
@@Sportstouring you can't be serious...
The Blues were playing without their two best defenseman Barclay Plager and Al Arbour. In their place Bowman had to use two minor league defensemen, Ray Fortin and Billy Plager. It made a difference.
5 Bobby Orrs would destroy 5 Wayne Gretzkys...That's how you can tell who the greatest was...5 Bobby Orr's would beat 5 Mario Lemieuxs also but it would be closer than 5 Gretzkys. Gretzky was a product of his time. If you tried to give Gretzky a hard legal check you'd have one of Edmonton's thugs in your face.
that's BS, i know arbour played@@donhuber9131
Bobby Orr had a gear no one else had.
Dan Kelley was the best announcer ever!
Foster Hewitt a very close second
Truth
"Despite Bobby Orr Overtime Goal Being The One Goal Everyone Remembers The Most Through Or Time Of All Whom Played Hockey We Still Respect & Credit All Others Whom Playr rip ed Hockey And Their Careers in Which Contributed To The Future of The Game We Love!"
It was a overtime goal to win the Stanley cup ! Boston's first in 28 years !
Show more bobby orr goals
I don't understand the part about it being a big deal that he "called the goal" -- it seems obvious that they scored to me.
I should know this, but five hole? Hard to see
I don't see the big deal. He scored a goal, then got tripped afterward. The trip had no bearing on the play. The goal was in the back of the net, before Picard's stick ever made contact w/ Orr's foot. When I read about this goal, it was made out to be Orr flying through the air and scoring a goal, and that's not at all what happened.
I love those hockey nets. Bring back retro nets
Want to see a real flying goal? Look up Bossy in the finals vs Vancouver. Not only did the Boss actually score mid air, he also roofed it on the backhand!!! The Orr goal wasn't even close to what Mike Bossy did.
Nice one! Thanks for sharing!
Flying Goal???? He wasn't going through the sir as he shot it. He flew through the air in Celebration.
Why doesn't anyone mention the Bruins were playing an Expansion team and unlike the Golden Knights, the Blues played other Expansion teams inn the playoffs.
Bruh
The only reason why he could fly through the air is 3 periods of playing St Louis you barely broke a sweat.
I agree with you . A very ordinary goal not a flying goal. I don t understand the hype .People are so insignificant. The puck is already in the net and then the defense player hook Orr's ankle and lift him up and Orr helped himself to fly . It s so obvious. A real hod dog move !
He scored the goal, saw it went in and then "flew" through the air. I understand his jubilation but Orr taking flight had nothing to do with the goal itself. This goal's contribution to hockey lore is all hype.
You're a bitter little man.
I thought Derek Sanderson was homeless ?
Hero to zero!
To Colin: Tell Bobby That
The most famous goal in NHL history will be Alex Ovehckin's 895th
🤔
I remember watching this in slo-mo. You can see that Orr scores before flying in the air. It’s all a lie.
No one has ever once said he scored while flying through the air.
@@SciTrekMan That’s what the title “The Flight” implies
Noel Picard tripped him.
OK, so the guy scored, lost balance and fell. So what?
Goalies back then were terrible
better than you for certain! LOL.....what a foolish remark by a troll of trolls!
Then Bobby Orr endorsed Trump. Oh well... now it rates much lower.
No it doesn’t. Just cause he’s not part of your cult and belongs to a different cult doesn’t change the fact that he was the greatest defenseman in NHL history
@@pepino1618 lol how is Trump uniquely evil? What makes him more evil than Regan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama? All of our presidents haven’t cared for democracy and are war criminals. I agree Trump is evil, but anyone who thinks he is uniquely evil is delusional
@@drewsimoncomedy Yes it does. And he isn't the greatest Dman ever. He's 3rd or 4th. Couldn't play in todays game.
@@drewsimoncomedy GUARANTEED the anti-Trump moonbats couldn't elaborate on ANY of Trump's MANY accomplishments, because said moonbats are irrationally afflicted with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The fact that an icon like Bobby Orr supported Trump just makes Orr even more beloved in my heart.
I don’t like Bobby Orr, but let’s go Trump! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Biggest myth in sports is calling this the "Flying Goal". It was a ridiculous celebration at best
You kids say the darndest things. LOL
@user-db6pt7vr3l it's fact, deal with it. Go watch in slow motion...the puck has hit the back of the goal before he ever leaves his feet. I know you want to twist reality to continue a made up story, but that's not what happened. Again, deal with the lie made up by idiot Boston fans
Bobby Bobby Bobby really Donald Trump?.......yup Hero to Zero!
Stay out of the gene pool.
Daniel Your A Good Man, & I Know Other Major & Uniquely Talented Players Improved The Game Of Hockey Ivan Cornway & Brad Park, Robinson , & Many Others Throughout The History Of The Game, And Recognize Them All On My Hockey And Appreciate Your Knowledge of Hockey Too & Respect Everyone's Knowledge Sir!"
Bro stop bringing politics into everything

This "FLYING GOAL" is TOTAL AND COMPLETE BS. The puck WAS IN THE NET and then Orr LEAPED. Watch the video.
A very ordinary goal not a flying goal. I don t understand the hype .People are so insignificant. The puck is already in the net and then the defense player hook Orr's ankle and lift him up and Orr helped himself to fly . It s so obvious. A real hod dog move !
He sure missed the net backing Trump never thought Bobby would be a Trump puppet must’ve had a nice payout
