I always had the impression that Orr’s goal was a dramatic Game 7 winner.

Turns out Boston swept the series.

Yup. When the NHL did the expansion in '67 they put all of the new teams in their own division, as that would guarantee that at least one of them would get to the Final.

St. Louis managed to climb to the top of the scrum for all three seasons that was in effect. But they were no match for the likes of Montreal or Boston, and typically got their clocks cleaned.
