The 1969-70 season marked a turning point in the history of the
National Hockey League. The season began with a near fatality and
it culminated on a steamy Sunday afternoon in Boston with one of
the NHL's most iconic moments. In the interim, the 12 NHL clubs
staged thrilling and memorable playoff races that were not decided
until the final regular-season games were played. The three
traditional powerhouse teams from the Original Six era faltered
while former underdog clubs began to vie for top honors. Along the
way, Boston's Bobby Orr made history by becoming the first
defenseman to win the NHL scoring title, three aging veterans in
Detroit combined to form the most effective forward line in hockey,
and a rookie goalie, Tony Esposito, lifted the Chicago Black Hawks
from the basement to a divisional championship. Told here are the
numerous other wonderful, strange, and captivating incidents that
made the fun, fascinating, and free-wheeling 53rd NHL season one
for the ages.
