The first Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues ended with the ‘Flying Orr‘. The rematch 49 years later saw a Superman-like moment of a different kind.
Torey Krug’s thunderous, helmetless hit on Blues forward Robert Thomas still has his Bruins teammates and all of the hockey world buzzing less than 24 hours after Boston’s 4-2 win in Game 1. The never-ending retweets and likes on social media made Krug’s highlight-reel hit an instant classic.
