Gretzky, Howe, Lemieux, Jagr, Sederov, Crosby, etc....it really doesn't matter....none of them will ever come close to the talent level that Bobby Orr was gifted with and brought to the NHL in his short career. He stands alone and always will...

He was a Defense man playing offensive, they don’t show how many times he got burned making that rush. They only show the goals . And Gordie Howe is the best ever. 20 years straight making the top 5 in points. Never will anyone come close to that! And he was an all around player. Played Defense

I've seen all of the greats live and on tv over the years, except for Howe. Gretzky's sense, vision and passing can never be duplicated. Orr was great. Lemieux was great. The eras were different. Phil Esposito who played with Orr and against Howe said it best. There is no more intelligent player than Gretzky; no one passes the puck better, no one sees the ice better.

TY for putting all this together. SO many memories, names forgotten not only in B's lore, Leduc, Sims, Edestrand Brooks. But so many of the old great NHLers. Binkley, Crozier, Maniago, Meloche, Rutherford. Even the old Refs and linesmen. And of course seeing the grand old gal The Garden rockin and rollin is always a joy. I all but grew up in that building watching these guys work their own special brand of magic. The Canadiens can have their 24 Cups. Its an impressive feat, but one accomplished over the long history of the Club witnessed by far too many. That doesn't compare to the much smaller number of us who get to carry the memories of those 10 magical years in Boston when Bobby and the Big Bad Bruins made watching hockey so much MORE than a mere spectator sport. It was a way of life for us all year long not just during the season. I dont know if those guys will ever really know how much joy they brought us simply by being The Bruins. But it WAS something!

12:45...the slow motion replay shows just how astonishing this play was, even more than it looked in real-time...watch him lying down, sliding across the ice. He tries to control the puck with the stick the first time, can't reach it because of the tight angle so he nudges it with his elbow to the perfect position where he can slide it across the ice. There is no question every motion of that play was intentional. Just incredible body control and sense of the rink and where his teammates would be. Amazing. This kind of thing is why those of us who saw him still think Bobby Orr is the greatest defenseman ever, and possibly the greatest hockey player period.

What can i say Robert Gordon Orr is the New England cure for cabin fevah. Wicked Pissah. God Bless that good man. For all the magic he did on the ice. He is one of God's good angels. Your faith in human natural gets a boost when you see the love his teammates had for him. Not that he needed help. He cleaned some clocks in his break in to the elite NHL hard nosed players.

In the end when Bobby was playing on half a leg. You noticed that other teams left him be in the fighting and cheap shots. Still he led the league in scoring i think his last two years. Just watched a 251 goal marathon of Bobby. The best is how he bowed his head after every goal, save one on May 10th, 1970. Bobby paying homage to the greats before him and the kids back on Parry Sound Bay ice.

In 2005 to increase scoring the NHL changed the rules so now a 2 line pass is NOT offside. In the 18 seasons since 2005 how many players have scored more points than Orr’s 139 in 1971? Only 1, Conner McDavid this year. I believe if Bobby Orr was playing today he’d win the Art Ross, Hart and Norris every year.
