I saw him play in the old boston garden, i believe he was the greatest hockey player ever,
Ovech scores and ...( 1 month ago by canadian1967)
Ovech scores and then stands with his arms in the air, like some sort of demi-god, (he is a first class COCK) Orr used to skate back to his position and wait for the play to start again with barely an acknowledgement that he had scored. RESPECT.
Orr was the best player in the world at his position at 16. 16!!! and defence is by far the harder position to play and learn.
Even the Russians still think he is the best player ever.
Ovechkin? really?

I spent the first years of my life as a Bruins fan because of Orr, I still remember going with my dad to get my first set of equipment (all used of course)with my dad in 1972, and HAVING to play defence even though I couldn't even skate yet.
Thanks for the memories.
As the song says, "baby, you're the best"

Think of it....People like Orr and Gretzky were playing at at LEAST today's level (Especially Orr) And they had soft shitty skates with no ankle support, wooden sticks with no curve, and with Orr, not even HEAD protection! And he still burned everyone in the game.

There are several players that are argued to be the best ever. Each has their own reasons and merits and they are ALL great players. Legends in fact.
However if you could only have one player, playing all 5 positions. Five of one player vs Five of another.......who even comes close?
He could score, hit, fight.....he would grind in the corners and make moves that would leave you wondering what just happened. He was amazing.

He's a retired businessman now. Before Bobby Orr, defensemen stayed back for the net when the team was on offense-he totally cahnged the position and the game. I had a poster of him in my room when I was growing up.

What sets Orr apart from the other greats who may have won more Cups or had more points is he's one of those rare athletes that come along and change the game.

Two things are very notieable...he skates with his head up when he carry's the puck and he is extremely fast....He is aware of everythingaround him and he has the advantage of SPEED...watch how many strides it takes him when he carry's the puck from behind the net and the blue line. God given skills and talent
