The story behind hockey’s most famous photo

Deadspin:

One image looms above the rest: Ray Lussier’s photograph of Bobby Orr immediately after he scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal for the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the 1970 Finals. The black-and-white image shows Orr in mid-air, hovering above the ice, as all of Boston Garden—all of New England—erupts.

In honor of the NHL playoffs on now (I’m halfheartedly cheering for Nashville and Pittsburgh – both cities I used to live in), this is a really interesting back story of one of the greatest action photos ever taken.

  1. In the NHL, in the USA, yes I agree.

    In hockey, no, it’s not even close.

    I know, I saw both of these events live as they occurred.

    That honour goes to the image of Yvan Cournoyer jumping into the arms of Paul Henderson after scoring the series winning goal in the first Canada-Russia summit series in September 1972. A whole nation of 30 million people erupted when that happened!
