A great picture of hockey !
Heading into the 1969-70 season, Bobby Orr had a Calder and two Norris Trophies already and he’d win the Art Ross, Hart, Norris and Conn Smythe Trophies that season. Whew. His Bruins faced the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup final, a team that reached its third Cup final in a row, but had yet to win a game there (the ’67 expansion teams took a while to become competitive). The Bruins swept the Blues in 1970, but the series was capped off in dramatic fashion. Orr scored 40 seconds into overtime to lead the Bruins to victory after taking a pass from Derek Sanderson in the corner. It was Boston’s first Cup since 1941 and they’d win another two years later.
In the photo, Orr is flying through the air like Superman after he was lifted off his feet by St. Louis defenseman Noel Picard.

Still scoring after all these years, Ovechkin gets 50th goal
source : salon.com
Alex Ovechkin is 29, and his hair is flecked with gray nowadays. His coaches and linemates keep changing, as have the ways opponents try to stop him.
After 10 years in the NHL, one thing that stays the same about the guy known as Alex the Great: He can get the puck in the net.
The Russian wing reached that milestone for the sixth time Tuesday night by scoring in the first period of the Washington Capitals’ 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.
“We’re sort of immune to it now, really,” Capitals defenseman Mike Green said with a chuckle. “We don’t expect it, but it’s amazing how he does it every year. It’s one of the most difficult things to do, and he seems to find a way to accomplish that, season after season.”
As the rookie of the year in 2005-06, Ovechkin scored 52 goals. He had a career-best 65 two seasons later, followed by 56, then 50. After three seasons in a row with fewer than 40 goals, he regained his touch a year ago with 51.
“Much different than my first year. They give more attention to where we are. They put the best guys, best defensive line, against us,” Ovechkin said. “Obviously, if you have two or three shots on net, you have to score one.”
On Tuesday, he had four shots, and his goal was the 472nd of his career, pulling even with Peter Bondra for the most by a Capitals player. Later against Carolina, Ovechkin recorded his 419th career assist, passing Michal Pivonka for No. 2 in franchise history, three behind current teammate Nicklas Backstrom.
Ovechkin and Backstrom have spent much of their time in the league as linemates, but with the season heading into its final two weeks, first-year Capitals coach Barry Trotz shook things up last weekend, separating his two best offensive threats.
How did that work out? In two games alongside Evgeny Kuznetsov and Joel Ward, Ovechkin has three goals and one assist.
Trotz also moved Ovechkin moved back to left wing, his primary position for most of his career. A year ago under previous coach Adam Oates, though, Ovechkin played mostly on the right side.
When Oates became the fourth coach to depart the Capitals during Ovechkin’s tenure, whispers resurfaced about whether the player was too tough to deal with. Trotz heard that talk — and says now it was unfounded.
“It’s way better than expectations coming in. All the things that people were telling me were false and untrue. It’s been a joy to work with Alex and be a part of the same group that he’s with,” Trotz said.
“It’s been really enlightening to me, and I’m trying to make it enlightening to everybody else that this is a good hockey player that can do some special things.”
Only Gretzky and Bossy, with nine 50-goal seasons each, have reached the half-century mark more often than Ovechkin. Lemieux, Marcel Dionne and Guy Lafleur had six apiece.

Player of the day : Tim Kerr #player #day #hockey #rightwing
Timothy E. Kerr (born January 5, 1960) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey right winger who played 13 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers and Hartford Whalers. He reached the NHL's prestigious 50 goal plateau on four occasions during his career.
Playing career
Kerr was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Philadelphia Flyers in 1980. Though initially a winger with hands that could bruise an opponent's face as well as beat an opposing goaltender, it took three seasons before he staked his reputation as a lethal sniper. Kerr missed the majority of the 1982-83 season with knee issues and a broken leg, but turned things around starting in 1983-84.That's when he began his team-record run of four consecutive 50-goal campaigns, in the process setting the NHL single-season record for power-play goals with 34 in the 1985–86 season.
During the first round of the '85 playoffs, against the New York Rangers, Kerr set a still-standing NHL single-game record by scoring four goals in a span of 8:16 in the second period of an eventual 6-5 victory at Madison Square Garden which enabled Philadelphia to sweep the best-of-five series.
The next season was particularly interesting, in that in September of 1985 he was hospitalized with aseptic meningitis at the outset, but recovered sufficiently to set a career best of 58 scores. The following year, Kerr again victimized NHL goaltenders for 58 goals, finishing second in the NHL to Wayne Gretzky.
Kerr was an almost unmovable presence in the slot during his prime. Hockey Hall of Fame center and New York Islanders star Bryan Trottier once joked that the only way to stop Kerr was to wrap chains around his arms and legs. But Trottier retracted that statement almost immediately by saying that that still probably would not stop him.
However, Kerr's ascension into the ranks of NHL superstars was hindered by injuries and bad luck. In the 1985 playoffs, a knee injury hampered his ability to play in the final two rounds of the postseason. In 1987, a shoulder injury suffered in the second round cost him the entire final two series against the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers. As a result of the setback, Kerr endured five shoulder operations in a 14-month period and missed all but a handful of the 1987-88 regular season, while being largely ineffective in Philly's seven-game loss to the Washington Capitals in the Patrick Division Semifinals. While Kerr would rebound and play 69 games and score 48 goals in 1988-89 -- a feat which earned him the Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance and dedication to the sport -- he never again played more than half the schedule the rest of his career.
He was left exposed in the 1991 expansion draft, and after being claimed by the San Jose Sharks, was quickly dealt to the New York Rangers. One more season with the Hartford Whalers ensued, before his retirement at age 33. Additional personal tragedy struck and provided a somber end to his Flyers tenure. On October 16, 1990, his wife, Kathy, died at the age of 30 due to a fast-spreading infection, ten days after the birth of their first child, a daughter named Kimberly.
Kerr finished his playing career 10th all-time in goals per game (minimum 500 games played) with 370 goals in 655 NHL games.
Post-playing career
Kerr is the owner of Tim Kerr's Powerplay Realty in Avalon, New Jersey, which sells and rents homes in both Avalon and Stone Harbor, New Jersey. In addition, Kerr owns the Pensacola Ice Flyers and part-owner of the Mississippi Surge, teams of the Southern Professional Hockey League. There he maintains homes in Avalon, near his business, and Moorestown Township, New Jersey with his wife, two daughters and three sons.[1]

Montreal vs New York : St. Louis strikes in OT as Rangers push Canadiens to brink #habs #rangers #playoffs #hockey
source : faceoff.com
One of the things about playing in New York is that it can feel a little bit like playing in Los Angeles, Max Pacioretty was saying, deep inside Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The plethora of famous people with good seats can be intimidating: "In warm-ups, I feel like I know half the people in the stands."
Robert De Niro and Michael J. Fox had tickets to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final last week. And Harry Belafonte, the 87-year-old singer, was in the arena on Sunday night as the Canadiens faced the New York Rangers in Game 4.
"I think it kind of is an intimidating building," Pacioretty said. "But at the same time, it's not like Montreal, where they're going to jump all over you."
Nothing is like Montreal, especially not in the playoffs, and especially not with the home team within two games of another long-awaited trip to the Stanley Cup finals. Playing in the Bell Centre under those conditions would be intimidating, and difficult, and precisely why the Rangers had to win at home on Sunday.
And so they got what they needed early in the overtime period, when Martin St. Louis walked in from the faceoff circle to beat Dustin Tokarski with a clean shot. New York earned the 3-2 win, and
the commanding series lead.
"You get this far and you have to trust yourself," St. Louis said. "That's what I try to do, and I was fortunate."
Montreal is still not without hope. Rallying from a 3-1 series deficit is normally not easy, but this has not been a normal post-season for rallies. The Rangers roared back from a 3-1 deficit to oust the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, and the Los Angeles Kings were down 3-0 to the San Jose Sharks before ripping off four straight wins.
"By no means are we counting ourselves out," said Canadiens captain Brian Gionta. "It's a tough loss, it's a bitter loss. But at the end of the day, we are still in this series. I still like our chances with two games at home."
Rangers forward Brad Richards said: "We have to realize the longer it goes, the more life and more belief they get. So it's going to be a very important start in the next game."
So much of the series has been about managing pressure. The coaches have been batting the burden back and forth like a ping pong ball: Blaming a linesman for a suspension, or each other for real or perceived breaches in etiquette.
They had two days to do it between games, too. The talk swirling so swiftly, it actually started to seem plausible that a player with a broken jaw would appear in uniform two days after undergoing surgery. Rangers forward Derek Stepan suffered the injury after absorbing a late hit from Brandon Prust in Game 3 — and in the end, neither played on Sunday. (Prust was serving the first of his two-game suspension.) The Rangers were also without Dan Carcillo, who earned a 10-game suspension for his wrestling match with a linesman after that collision. Importantly, though, New York did welcome Derick Brassard back to the lineup, after missing him for two games.
His goal gave New York a 2-1 lead heading into the third period, breaking a 1-1 tie just at the point when it seemed like Tokarski was positioning himself to steal another game for the Canadiens. The 24-year-old rookie did it in Game 3, and was poised on Sunday.
He made a blocker stop with St. Louis on a partial break in the first, and made one of the finest glove saves of the playoffs in the second period. St. Louis looked to the roof after that save, looking first for a replay, and then, possibly, for patience.
The Rangers had done their best to apply a different kind of pressure on Tokarski. It was more of the literal kind, with players driving hard to his crease, sometimes not bothering to stop. Rick Nash bowled him over, and during a break in play, Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien told NBC: "We gotta make sure we're protecting the goalie."
They had not been offering him much support. The Canadiens went without a goal on the first five power-play attempts of the game. And it was worse than that — the Rangers got a jump after a defensive zone faceoff while short-handed in the first period, with forward Brian Boyle spotting Carl Hagelin racing free up the middle. Hagelin scored.
Francis Bouillon scored in the second, only to have Brassard break that tie with a blast from point-blank range. The Canadiens pulled level again in the third period, when P.K. Subban finally connected on the power play, with a signature slap shot from the point to quiet the crowd and tighten the nerves on the home team's bench.
They rattled to the sound of a crossbar with three minutes to play in the third, when Alex Galchenyuk ripped a shot past Henrik Lundqvist. It bounced off the line and away from danger, temporarily.
St. Louis delivered them from danger completely six minutes into overtime. The group of Canadiens players on the ice looked exhausted, and had three chances to clear the zone in that final sequence. Each attempt was more feeble than the one previous one, and Hagelin spurred the endgame by slipping a pass to St. Louis.
The 38-year-old winger had been left wide open on the far side. St. Louis walked toward the bottom of the faceoff circle, picked a spot on the short side above Tokarski's shoulder and fired, sending the Rangers to within a game of the Stanley Cup final.
