After <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Orr" title="Bobby Orr">Bobby Orr</a> scored the championship-winning goal after just 40 seconds, so the story went, Summerall turned to Bobby's father, Doug Orr (who was reportedly, too nervous to go back to his seat from the Bruins' dressing room for the start of <a href="/wiki/Overtime_(ice_hockey)" title="Overtime (ice hockey)">overtime</a>) and yelled over the crowd in the stands above "Mr. Orr, your son has scored, and Boston has won the Stanley Cup!" Doug Orr is said to have told Summerall, "I know Boston scored, but we didn't see it! What makes you think my son scored?" Summerall supposedly replied, "Because they wouldn't be yelling this loudly if <a href="/wiki/Phil_Esposito" title="Phil Esposito">Esposito</a> had scored!" </p><p>The most commonly seen video clip of Bobby Orr's "flight" is the American version broadcast on CBS as called by <a href="/wiki/Dan_Kelly_(sportscaster)" title="Dan Kelly (sportscaster)">Dan Kelly</a>. This archival clip can be considered a rarity, since about 98% of the time, any surviving <a href="/wiki/Kinescope" title="Kinescope">kinescopes</a> or videotapes of the actual telecasts of hockey games from this era usually emanate from CBC's coverage. According to <a href="/wiki/Dick_Irvin,_Jr." class="mw-redirect" title="Dick Irvin, Jr.">Dick Irvin, Jr.</a>'s book <i>My 26 Stanley Cups</i> (Irvin was in the CBC booth with <a href="/wiki/Danny_Gallivan" title="Danny Gallivan">Danny Gallivan</a> during the 1970 Stanley Cup Finals), he was always curious why even the CBC typically uses the CBS replay of the Bobby Orr goal (with Dan Kelly's commentary) instead of Gallivan's call. The explanation that Irvin received was that the CBC's <a href="/wiki/Master_recording" class="mw-redirect" title="Master recording">master tape</a> of the game (along with others) was thrown away in order to clear shelf space at the network. </p><p>The clip exists because WSBK-TV in Boston, then an <a href="/wiki/Independent_station_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent station (North America)">independent station</a>, was the television flagship of the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Bruins" title="Boston Bruins">Boston Bruins</a>. WSBK had a weekly program during the season showing highlights of the previous week's games. WSBK got permission from CBS to simulcast the game and to tape the network's telecast and use highlights from that it for the next week's show. WSBK decided to show the entire (however brief) overtime session in the final 1969–70 edition (aired on May 17, 1970) of <i>Bruins Highlights</i>, as well as in <i>Boston Bruins: World Champions</i>, an hour-long documentary featuring highlights of the team's 1969–70 season and Stanley Cup win.
