Today In History (May 10)

1970
The Boston Bruins won their first Stanley Cup since the beginning of World War II. They beat the St. Louis Blues 4 to 3 with an over-time goal by Bobby Orr. From his web site, BobbyOrr.net, the OT goal described, "Orr's flight, one of the most famous images in hockey history, came seconds after the defenseman helped the Boston Bruins do something else many of those 14,835 fans had never seen: the Bruins won the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1941, with a 4-3 victory."
