This is the one I like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbYqrRh-Tzo&feature=relatedThe thing about Bobby Orr is he was so much better then the rest of them. You watch any of the videos and he's going around some of the best players ever and making it look easy. In the catch me if you can video he goes around 4 of my Minnesota North Stars, gets knocked down, passes from his back and hits his man who scores. Amazing, even if it was against the home team
It was a great time to be a kid and a hockey fan watching the big bad Bruins, the classy Canadiens, the blue collar Red Wings, and the new expansion teams just trying to win 1 play off game against the established 6. I remember well it was the North Stars who finally won a play off game against one of the original 6 when they took the Canadiens to 5 games and thought they'd extended the series when the buzzer sounded a second before Ted Hampson's shot went it behind Ken Dryden. Ahh memories
That give and go with Derek Sanderson where he scores the overtime goal against the Blues is unforgettable. The in flight photo being one of the most famous sports photos ever I think.
Maybe it's because I was paying closer attention, but the game seemed to have more 'personality' back then. I remember reading Derek Sanderson's book "I've got to be me" back then. He was the "Joe Namath" of Hockey with the long hair, the girls and the image.
It would be fun to watch some of those games again.
I was watching some other Orr stuff and I remembered how it was a sign of our hockey 'knowledge' as a kid to have our stick with that single black strip of tape just like Bobby Orr. Was fun to remember that
