(cue the spine tingling chills)
A.B. 42 years ago today, May 10th, 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.
42 years later Bruins fans still cherish the gravity defying goal as if it happened yesterday. With pictures, t shirts, bumper sticks & other paraphernalia, it’s safe to say that my kids’ kids will still be talking about #4, Bobby Orr’s miraculous goal.

Phil Kessel is the gift that keeps on giving. Well, Kessel and Brian Burke to be more accurate. Burke, the Maple Leafs general manager, was generous enough to give the Bruins two first-round picks and a second rounder for Kessel back in 2009. The first of those picks brought Tyler Seguin to Boston and as the second overall selection of the 2010 draft. After helping the Bruins win...
