The true great one, best ever
Only thing I remembered about Orr these days. Was he's told he'll get part team ownership to sign on the line. Which they totally screwed him and he'd be the richest ex player today.
I think a super offensive defensemen could be the most valuable position in hockey because it's like you have 4 forwards, and if you have skilled shooters they make very valuable set up plays deep in the offensive zone. I watched Phil Housley support Temu Selanne in his rookie year in Winnipeg, I attended many games live, it's a super deadly combo, as teams learned night after night that year. You just need a good goalie that can handle a higher number of 2 on 1 breakouts. And it makes for way more exciting hockey both ways.
You can sit back and watch people passionately debate who was better….Gretzky or Lemieux or Howe….then throw in the name Orr…..and people start to mumble and speak lower, etc. To say someone is the greatest hockey player who lived, first you must say he's better than Orr, and that's pretty darned hard to do.
Dennis Leary is right, no socks. When I was kid in the 70s I read a book on Bobby Orr that had pictures of him putting on his uniform. In the last pic he was standing there fully dressed, no sock. I have never worn socks with my skates ever since.
Lose the music, no need for it. It is annoying and competes with the spoken word. STOP IT!!!!!
Thst wasnt meloche in the pitsburg
Garry doak eas his psrtner
Score! Bobby Orr #4.
I came to the conclusion that he outskated everyone, I watched the playoffs a few years ago and they all looked like they skated like Bobby Orr.
Orr and Brad Park only played 10 games together. The Bruins were 6-1-3. There's a couple highlights of them together in this video. "We was robbed".
Arguably the best to ever lace up skates, and like others in this category, an ambassador of the sport that we can all be so proud of….
He was as fast as Conner McDavid but a defenseman. Ground breaking
2nd best player of all time behind gretzky
how about Gretzky. The best ever.
The level wasn't very high after orr and gretzky played.
you guys beat him clarke. you were up there too. never missed a game when he played for the Flin Flon Bombers along with his right winger Reggie Leach. No team could beat them in Jr. Hockey.
And Reggie Leach could shoot both ways. Break down the right wing close the boards cut across the blue line and fire a wrist shot shooting left. Using the 2 defensemen as a screen. And the shot was as accurate as the Russians when they were Communists. I seen them 2. Also the puck was in the net against the Edmonton Oil Kings. Now that was great hockey.
wooden sticks wow unlike todays hockey stick all flex
I remember going to Detroit to watch the Bruins play the Wings. I swear that the puck was on Orr's stick for at least 45 of the 60 minutes of play. Watching hockey on tv, you couldn't really tell, but being in the arena it was obvious. I was lucky enough to see him play in Detroit several times – just WOW.
Clone Nureyev, Dimaggio, Ruth, Ali, Goya, Gretzky, Secretariat, Northern Dancer, Sugar Ray, and you're close to getting Orr in his prime.
Even Gretzky knew Orr was the best.
Orr was pretty good when he was healthy and on his game .He definitely was a top 20 defender and quite possibly a top 10 in his short but exciting prime of his career .
I remember that game when he dropped his glove then proceeded to skate All over the rink with the puck and I knew he was going to end up going back with the puck and opponents chasing him and pick up that glove and that's exactly what he did.didnt Eve break his stride bent down scooped his hand right into his glove straightend up and kept right on going Eventually he passed the puck to someone else and went to the bench .the entire living room was laughing.the guy was my greatest joy even above Tom Brady.
I saw Bobby play as a Blackhawk. It was my first hockey game so I really didn't know anything. Yet he stood out from the rest. Later I would find out that what I saw wasn't even close to what he was like in his prime.
My dad was friends with Bruins legend Milt Schmidt and we had season tickets to the Gahden. I was sitting about 25 rows behind Glenn Hall on Mother's Day 1970 when Bobby Orr scored the most legendary goal in history. EVERY single person in attendance knew "Orr's gonna score." It was the greatest day of my life.
I seen bobby play for the parry sound shamrocks one game.he totally destroyed my hometown team. He was 16 year old playing tier 2 jr.b. and dominated every shift.then thevphone rang and he was off to oshawa.such a great player and an even greater human being.
