Hockey Night in Canada podcast: Remembering Bobby Orr’s iconic goal

The 2019 Stanley Cup final between the St. Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins are well underway.

The last time these two teams met in the Stanley Cup final was in 1970 and it produced one of hockey’s most famous goals. Bobby Orr scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal in overtime while soaring through the air courtesy of a Noel Picard trip.

On this week’s edition of the Hockey Night In Canada podcast, we take a closer look at that iconic moment. 

Terry Crisp played five seasons for the St. Louis Blues, including that 1970 Stanley Cup final. Crisp looks back on that series and where he was when that goal was scored.

Both Crisp and Orr are from Parry Sound, Ont., so he is also forever tied to that goal.
