Without a doubt best ever. Orr played ever facet of the game. He could score, defend and fight.

I'll take Gretzky even though the comparison is silly. Double the Stanley Cup success and a mind boggling list of records.
Happy birthday to Bobby Orr.

Imagine, if Bobby Orr was protected like Gretzky was, what OTHER records Orr would have.

If Orr had played center instead of defense he might have lasted longer ..... and what a forechecking machine he would have been . -

A defenseman that needs to be 'protected' wouldn't make much of a defenseman.Bad knees was his problem, not lack of protection.

There is no better all around good guy athlete like him.

My bad. I guess I thought you said that if Orr was protected like Gretzky then he would have more records. -

Based on your reply before it seemed quite clear you didn't get it. -

My greatest boyhood hero, well right behind US Astronauts. I still have my copy of Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Bruins. There was nothing better then watchng an end to end advance by Orr while killing the power play.

He may be 65 but his knees are 206 years old today.
