Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh missed witnessing one of the most famous Stanley Cup Final goals in NHL history because he was on a snack run for his father. He and his brother, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, reminisced about their competitive childhood, recalling how John missed Bobby Orr’s iconic flying goal that secured the Stanley Cup for the Boston Bruins on May 10, 1970 while getting his dad cheese and crackers. Jim, a fan of Orr who wore No. 4 because of him, witnessed the unforgettable moment. John’s father, Jack, who was friends with Orr, sent him a picture of the goal with a message saying “forget the cheese and crackers.” Although John missed the goal in real-time, the picture became a lasting memory for him. The story adds a personal touch to the legendary sports moment, showcasing how even the coach of an NFL team can miss out on history for the sake of a snack run.
