Why wouldn't Chara lifting the Cup be iconic? It was very primal when he lifted it up over his head. I had never seen anything quite like it. He seemed to struggle a bit to get it over his head (shoulder injury?) And that beard! He looked like a psychotic Lumberjack! If it's not iconic, then it should be, as it was one of the all time great Stanley Cup Finals in modern history.
HNIC has no problem showing footage of Toews or Pietrangelo (when he was with the Blues) lifting the Cup.
You do make a valid point about Orr. However, you have to understand that he is the most respected Bruin by far in Canada. Honestly, I've never heard a fan from another team (Montreal, Toronto, etc..) say anything negative about him.
I think we may have different definitions of Iconic.
