the greatest of all ... ( 2 months ago by shorndjakdaa)

the greatest of all time

I love that empty ... ( 2 months ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

I love that empty net shot by Orr from his own end. Just makes it too easy. plus he could skate laps around almost anyone except maybe Cournoyer of the Canadiens. By far the greatest player ever. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a complete fool. Look at these great videos and compare them to Gretzky's best moves and goals. No comparision. Orr wins hands down. Great video again!

After watching this ... ( 2 months ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

After watching this video a second time, I can say that Orr must be at one time a ghost (for going right through players) or even God. Orr did everything so perfect. I can't imagine anybody ever being better than him. He was so talented and incredibly powerful. Can you imagine if Team Canada 1972 had him and Bobby Hull against the Russians? Canada would have won every game and proving that we are better than Russia in hockey by a long mile too.

Love your comments. ... ( 2 months ago by Bleeney)

Love your comments. How fast was Orr? Larry Robinson spoke of a game when Cournoyer was on a breakaway at the Bruin blue line, and Orr was at center. Orr caught him before he got to the net. The only skater I've ever seen that compares to Orr is Paul Coffey, but even he lacked Orr's instant acceleration and shiftiness while going at top speed. And Orr combined this speed with an unbelievable arsenal of other skills. He was, simply put, the greatest hockey player ever.

Orr did that? Wow, ... ( 2 months ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

Orr did that? Wow, I didnt know he was that fast. I always thought the Roadrunner was as fast as Bobby Orr. The best word to describe Orr is superman. Orr could do anything and everything on the ice, be it fighting, scoring, defending, scoring tying goals. Hell you could even play goalie LOL. Did you see where he stopped Brad Park's shot with the Bruin goalie out of position. Just amazing. Forget Gretzky, Orr is at least 2 or 3 times better than the Great One everything considered.

Typo there. I wrote ... ( 2 months ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

Typo there. I wrote "Hell you could even play goalie LOL", I meant he (Orr) could even play goalie LOL. Had a long day, went to the carnival with my girlfriend and we both got sunburned. Take care!

This is something ... ( 2 months ago by TomBoston191)

This is something that those who didn't see Orr regularly can't really comprehend. We all looked forward to being shorthanded. It just gave Orr more room out there. He was pure magic. Two on ones were also fun to watch. (with Orr as the one...) It often didn't look fair. One on one (with Orr as the defender)? That was always a joke. Many who watch these little highlight videos so many years later think that Orr was *just* an offensive superstar. I honestly enjoyed his defense even more.

I can probably ... ( 2 months ago by WoodyAllenNY)

I can probably without a doubt say that Denis Potvin NEVER said he was better than Bobby Orr....but he is better than anyone else that ever donned a blue-shirt hahahaha

Potvin's comment ... ( 1 month ago by Bleeney)

Potvin's comment came after the 76 Canada Cup and it's one he regretted. He did play great in that tournament, but what Orr did was absolutely unbelievable. He could barely even walk after his latest surgery, let alone skate. His left knee always had huge ice packs on it between games (and even periods) Any chance of continuing his career required proper rest and rehab, but he gave it up to play for his country. And as Bobby Hull said, "Even on one leg, he was better than the rest of us on two"

imagine if orr had ... ( 1 month ago by bobbyorr2888)

imagine if orr had today's equipments, especially the skates (more ankle support). If he was using today's skates he would look even faster in the videos.

A few old videos ... ( 1 month ago by matt75hooper)

A few old videos cant begin to describe the way he dominated the game. You want to be shocked--look up Orr's PLUS/MINUS numbers. Best ever. Imagine an NFL Quarterback leading the league in passing, tackles, and defensive interceptions.
What he did in one year {1970}---no other player has done over an entire career.
*Stanley Cup
*Norris
*Hart
*Conne Smythe
*Art Ross
*Canadian, American, Sports Ill, Player of the Year.
*PLUS/MINUS award winner +124, a record that still stands.

I wanna see the ... ( 4 weeks ago by Maxie1111)

I wanna see the gane he had against the Russians, he didn't get a point, but he owned them in the 76 Canada Cup.

for those of you ... ( 2 weeks ago by safehlkewqwsadkla)

for those of you who care, get a book by jack ludwig from 73 that deals with the summit series.
ludwig is a marxist and he tears the canadian team apart whilst praising the soviets lavishly - but even he concedes that there was no one else like orr. As he puts it, as much as he admired the top soviet players, when orr was on the ice, everyone else disappeared if bobby was in that series,
canada wins 6 games to 2 and most of us would never have heard of paul henderson

oilerscanadasteam: ... ( 2 weeks ago by safehlkewqwsadkla)

oilerscanadasteam:
you raise an excellent point; Orr was very powerful on his skates - which is rather freakish because he was by no means a huge man or an overly-muscled man. Basically, he had god-given, exceptional lower-body strength and remarkable balance; he was also uncommonly strong for a man of his size. I
would have loved to have seen him on the big ice against the soviets - though I suspect he would have been placed under house arrest by the russians after the first game

I read the Ludwig ... ( 1 week ago by secordman)

I read the Ludwig book, tend to agree with you about 1972, Bobby Hull was missed too of course. I consider myself lucky to have seen Orr in his prime. We used to boo him in Toronto but that was for him jumping Pat Quinn in 1969. We still knew that we were watching the greatest.

Dennis Potvin, like ... ( 1 week ago by MidnightRambler444)

Dennis Potvin, like Brad Park, was very, very good, top ten, but he was no Ray Bourque, who was no Bobby Orr.

#4 is MUCH to fast ... ( 1 week ago by abbacoins)

#4 is MUCH to fast for the competition, he doesn't even belong on this planet, also to good for the NHL, no wonder they were delibertly trying to slash and check his knees all the time. Pound for pound, shift for shift, the most exciting and talented hockey player in world history.

Oh for those days ... ( 1 week ago by rf396)

Oh for those days again. EVERY DAY at school taking about the game from the night before. Nights at 7:35 pm in front of the B&W TV. Bobby, THANK YOU for a lifetime of cherished memories!

Bobby Orr was Ray ... ( 5 days ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

Bobby Orr was Ray Bourque and Brad Park put together plus some spare change. He was too brilliant to play in the NHL. He should have been playing with the stars in Hollywood. He could have taught them a few things about magic. Heres Bobby Orr, hes got 3 or 4 opponents on him and boom, he passes to an open teammate and its in. Pretty much everything he did was like magic. Theres nothing, I mean nothing, # 4 couldn't do. Best player ever (by far).

And Fred Cusick had ... ( 5 days ago by OilersCanadasTeam)

And Fred Cusick had an unbelievable voice. Heeeeeeee scoooooores! There can't be a better voice in hockey today, no way. The guy was immortal. I was very young when he called the games between the Bruins and Canadiens. He vaguely remember his voice but now with youtube, its all over the place. Nice post, thanks!
