This lower picture was taken at Boston Garden in December of 2011. My brother Connor and I were posing with the statue of Bobby Orr with my cousin Otto, who was visiting from Germany. The statue is located outside the TD Garden, and depicts one of the greatest moments in history. The upper photo was taken on May 10, 1970, when Bobby Orr scored the winning goal in overtime in game 4 to win the series 4-0. The Bruins appeared in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 1958.
Before the TD Garden was built, Boston Garden stood nearby, having been built in 1928 by Tex Rickard. The building was originally built specifically for boxing, but was a great venue for other sports as well. In 1999, the Fleet Center was built, using the unique parquet flooring from the original Boston Garden. The TD Garden, as it is named now, still houses one of the original four professional hockey teams, the Boston Bruins.
