Item Description
May 10th, 1970 Bobby Orr scored the most legendary goal in Boston Bruins & NHL history. At the 40 second mark in the first overtime period, Orr received a give-and-go from Derek Sanderson and scored to win the 1970 Stanley Cup. This black and white photo is hand signed by both Bobby Orr and Derek Sanderson.
Orr played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for his entire career, the first ten seasons with the Boston Bruins, joining the Chicago Blackhawks for two more. Orr is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest hockey players of all time. A defenceman, Orr used his ice skating speed and scoring and play-making abilities to revolutionize the position. As of 2011, Orr remains the only defenceman to have won the league scoring title with two Art Ross Trophies and holds the record for most points and assists in a single season by a defenceman. Orr won a record eight consecutive Norris Trophies as the NHL's best defenceman and three consecutive Hart Trophies as the league's most valuable player (MVP). Orr was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1979 at age 31, the youngest to that day to be inducted into the Hall.
Sanderson got into a fight with the Oshawa Generals' Bobby Orr, his future NHL teammate. While the Boston scouts were initially there for Orr, this also gave Sanderson valuable attention.
Sanderson then appeared in two games as a centre with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). The following season he became a Bruin regular and was voted the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's 1968 Rookie of the Year, an honor that Orr won the previous year, giving the Bruins their second consecutive such award.
