March 20th is a special day in sports history. March 20, 1948, more specifically. That’s the day Arva and Doug Orr welcomed a new son into the world in their hometown of Parry Sound, Ontario. They named him Robert Gordon. Robert Gordon Orr. We know him as Bobby Orr, the former Bruin Hall-of-Famer and the greatest  hockey player of all time!!

Happy 70th birthday, Bobby Orr!

Bobby Orr's famous "flying goal" was the cup clincher in 1970. Receiving a centering pass from Derek Sanderson, Orr put a shot past Blues goalie Glenn Hall. Upon scoring, he was accidentally tripped by Blues defenceman Noel Picard, creating Orr's famous flying goal pose. This video is a combination of 3 separate videos.
