To all the mother’s in the house. The mothers, the mothers. Hey mothers in the house I’m calling out to ya. There’s never been a city kid truer or Bruiner. My favorite Mother’s Day story. May 10, 1970. A fan sitting behind the St. Louis Blues’ goal is holding a sign that says “Happy Mother’s Day Mrs. Orr.” Bobby’s mother had traveled to Boston from her home in Canada for this game. Bobby did not disappoint. Forty seconds into sudden death overtime, Orr takes a pass from Derek Sanderson and knocks in the game-winner winner chicken dinner. Just after he shoots, Noel Picard hooks Orr’s skate and Orr goes airborne. He scored his famous high flying, electrifying, death defying goal in overtime on Mother’s Day to win the 1970 Stanley Cup. I am, I am Superman. And I can do anything.
Happy Mother’s Day. Six two and even!
