I knew his cousin who was living in Minneapolis.
Sure hope he grew up because he was kind of dangerous.
I am from Mass and followed his career quite closely.
Even as a defenseman, he could take the puck from behind his own goal and take it all the way to the other end and take a shot any time he wanted to.
“I must say that one of my only regrets as a hockey fan is that I didn’t have a chance to see the great #4 play in person.”
I was one of the fortunate hockey fans to see most of the greats from the 60’s play. My father was a regular at MSG.
Crickets on NHL.com. Not surprising, they are as corrupt as the other sports leagues.
LOVED BOBBY ORR! I actually saw him skate, while in SRO tickets in the rafters of the Chicago Stadium. He was magic to behold!
A Euroweenie who doesn’t like President Trump, I’m shocked.
Old time hockey, eh coach!
About 50 years ago.
He shares a name with my Dad. Lots of drunk phone calls in the early 70’s. I met him several times through my work. He is the nicest guy.
My Dad would be thrilled with this.
The GOAT in my book!

Toe Blake? ....Eddie Shore?...”
When Bobby Orr played, I was a NY Ranger fan who attended 30-35 games a year, including a few Ranger-Bruin games at Boston Garden.
In my opinion, Bobby Orr was the most dominant athlete ever in any sport, not just ice hockey.
