It Was 36 Years Ago
Orr's diving goal one for the ages
While we're reveling in the Stanley Cup playoffs, enjoying every hit and every overtime session, it's about time for a flashback.View the image
On this Wednesday 36 years ago, Orr (and a photographer) gave hockey fans one of the most famous goals in NHL history.

Trivia: name the Blue's D-man that tripped Orr as he scored the goal.

As much as I'd like to say I was tripped, I have to admit, I flat out fell.

I'm going with Plager.

Sorry, forgot to mention....the D-man was not one of the Plager brothers.

The D-man's name was Noel Picard, also a #4.
Get this: #4 (Orr) scored the fourth goal in the fourth period of the fourth game to make the score 4-3, for the four-game sweep. It was Boston’s fourth Stanley Cup.

Our 4th periods are better

I must agree with Scrooge McDuck.

Another odd thing, Colin Baker wears #44 and has almost twice as many letters than Bob Orr in his name, who was #4. Crazy stuff!!!
Or should it be #8 ?

Also, I think Colin had 44 penalty minutes in the first 4 games of the wintersport season.
