The Greatest Hockey Player of All Time.

[@RSTI191]

And one of the most humble you will ever meet..

[@АндрейСоколов-з4р]

@@jasonsabourin2275 Самый Великий! Колени!. Сколько бы мог ещё он совершить!?

[@lindsaydoke9308]

The ultimate humble player. From the simplest beginnings with a mom and dad who were just as humble and unassuming as Bobby. The players today few hold a candle to this greatness.

Greatest of All Time

[@hannover5551]

I remember this night like it was yesterday.

[@user-fj7xb3pl6v]

Greatest Ever .

[@cecilrhodd9648]

Bobby Orr is the greatest NHL player ever. Why? Because he excelled on both ends of the ice. He played like a demon on the defensive end and was like a magician with the puck on the offensive end, scoring from every conceivable angle, Was also amazing at passing the puck and a very humble and unselfish leader. There will "never be another Bobby Orr"!

[@DonQwantsyou]

Bobby was never comfortable to be in the spotlight, he just wanted to be one of the guys

[@jeanniebell9493]

I always watch this when i need a lift !

[@sid7088]

People talk about how great the players are in today's NHL but most of these rich hotdogs couldn't handle playing in the '70s, Bobby Orr was the greatest player of his era and in a 12 yr injury shortened career still had 47 fights. Back when teams were tight.

[@robertlongwill8856]

The MLB retired Jackie Robinson's number 42 League wide and now it's up to the NHL to retire number 4 League wide

[@calvinnay814]

my God, Bobby wasn't even thirty yet; he should have still been playing.....

[@just-for-funtriviaquizzes]

Actually, he was a couple of months shy of his 31st birthday on this night.

[@kevinwalters6907]

Bobby was offered 10 percent of the Bruins to stay in Boston his agent eagleson never told him and took the Chicago deal eagleson should have been drawn and quartered... That is why Bobby is the best Player agent today....

[@berryscott3590]

If I recall correctly... The offer was actually 18 percent of the Bruins... imagine how much that would be worth today?... To me, the greatest of all time, ... and he did it playing on one leg, for much of his , far too short but brilliant career... Boston was blessed by Ted Williams, Bill Russel, Larry Bird... and yet Bobby was likely the greatest sports athlete of all time... Led the NHL in scoring twice by a D-man... Only player ever to do it... His career +/- is so far ahead of the other all time greats, it's mind boggling... More than a goal a game better than the competition... THAT's NUTS...

[@kevinwalters6907]

it was 18% and somewhere around 200 million today..@@berryscott3590

[@fosterbrooks5254]

No. It was more like 18%. We were robbed of having Bobby involved in rebuilding the Bruins over and over again as a GM.

[@buscem00]

I once saw a bumper sticker that said Jesus saves, Espo scores on the rebound. Bobby Orr made that possible!

[@calvinnay814]

burns to no end that Eagleson rushed to be the first to hug Bobby and grab the spotlight for himself. even before he had a chance to be with his wife, Peggy...

[@thomaspalazzi7795]

Oh Yeah Absolutely!!!

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Rare, to bring ✨️ a Stanley Cup to Boston 💚💛🖤

[@dinomarchioli3650]

the fact his last real full season was 1976, meant he literally played only 9 seasons, even though I believe he officially retired in 1978. After Bobby retired the NHL knew it could not let their stars be targets and the league promoted the policeman model, made the game more open, and that benefitted Gretzky entering the league in 1980. Add another 6 good seasons for Bobby and it would be no contest who the best ever is.

[@voobtoob]

"Bobby! Bobby! Bobby!..."

[@Burford1956]

it still makes my skin crawl to see Alan Eagleson be the first to rush up to Bobby, knowing how he fleeced him out of an ownership share of the Bruins.

[@jimlelacott6259]

MEANT HIS BROTHER IN PERRY SOUND HE WAS CAPTAIN OF SHIGHTSEE BOAT 1000 ISLAND...HE GIVE ME SOME PINS AND PICTURES OF BOBBY ......WE ATE AT BAR OWN BY DON CHRRY...LOTS OF PICTURES OF BOSTON TEAM AND BOBBY...60S AND 70 CUP TEAM....

[@robertmessina6962]

That's right Peggy You going to need to sit down for a while because this is going to take at least 25 to 30 minutes before they'll stop screaming for me

[@stevethomas2285]

When was this?

[@lunamotocross]

1/9/79

[@fosterbrooks5254]

Jan., 1979

[@VidWatcher-v4j]

He still looked young enough to play. Too bad the knees gave out.

[@howieisraelson4659]

Al Eagleson should be in jail for what he did to Bobby Orr as well as the Wirtz family should have been stripped of their ownership of the Blackhawks.
