No one comes close. Don't forget, some of the rule changes and higher tech on the skates has opened up the speed of the game, but Bobby Orr was (on the old skates) an extremely fast player, who often had to play with an injured knee that hampered him. He could glide faster than most players could skate full out and he would slow the game down (Kind of like Mario Lemieux would do later). 12 knee surgeries. He was damaged and still at times showed an almost unreal speed and acceleration. He could play defense, he could even play goal and often made some of the most incredible saves when the goalie failed. Him and Gretzky are the only players I can think of who knew where everyone was and will be on the ice 90% of the time. Sure the game changed, but you take a player like that and give him the new skates and 2 healthy legs, the speed whille fast is not something a player who has that type of hand eye would have a problem adjusting. He is the greatest 2 way player of all time. His career cut short due to the unfortunate knee injuries.

We may disagree (somewhat). In the mean time, say hello to my “leetle friend” Mc David.- I’m a hopeless Oilers fan😂

@@stickdweller McDavid has awesomes acceleration.

Bobby Orr was a defenseman, that's what made him so special. He revolutionized the position!

@@70sfan17 everyone knows he was a defenseman , and one of the greatest skaters and scorers , if he were a winger ….he could have had 80 goal seasons ….

Oh you mean skills like Lemieux , or Gretzky , or McDavid …….Kadri shouldn’t even been mentioned with those greats …

Yeah, man, because anyone that has the audacity to think differently than you obviously should not be looked at. The worst part about all this is you don’t even realize that you’re the problem.

@@BrettL250 its not mere incident of a disagreement champ,its the substance of the disagreement .go play with your toys ya redneck loser pos. Maybe finish school? Or run along to yer fuckin klan meetin jethro.trump is a kiddie perv.maybe we need to keep you away from children too.

@@BrettL250 that you dont understand trump supporters are the problem is an editorial on your intellect ,racism and ignorance based stupidity. Your parents must have been worthless to raise i useless pos like you.

You poor baby🤢

@@Razoul-xf1wt yer a proud little magat ? Finish school,watch the news ,grow the fuck up.maybe some day youll matter.

I'm sure we could do a highlight reel today of goalies looking clueless 🙄

I remember Orr beating the c**p out of Keith Magnuson 3 times in 1 game. Bobby took on guys like Pat Quinn and John Ferguson who were no lightweights and kicked their butts as well!
