Bobby Orr

“Orr played like a mad man and he did it all better than everyone else, 5 orrs beats 5 gretzkys or 5 lemuiexs every time”

“Orr is a very complete player. You needed him to hit, he'd hit. You needed him to score he'd score. If you needed to hold a lead head grip it. He was skilled in every area. He could probably be considered a rover.”

“hands down the greatest hockey player of all time”

“I saw them all. No one was ever close to Orr. Could dominate a game by himself. Faster, stronger and more intense than either Gretsky or Lemieux.”

“orr and lemiex are 100% the best players of all time no compotitoin”

“lead the league in scoring while playing defense, TWICE! and would have lead the league 5 straight time had he not been setting up fellow teamate Esposito while they finished one/two in scoring race!”

“a dominant force on offense and defense, did wayne or mario ever play that great D, NO, but Bobby played the best of both”

“the best defence men ever no on was better then him and no one will be.”

“BEST thats all that could be said about booby orr”

“Orr singlehandedly controlled both teams when he played. He was the most successful offensively in the league as a defenseman and most of the time with one leg. As pure hockey skills, he is the best of all time.”

“Best +- of all time by long shot. Best forward, defenseman, goalie and fighter...uh..don't know anyone on your list that comes close.”

“he is the best because he was the only Deffenseman to win the scoreing title.”

“He wasn't just a great offensive defense man; he was a dominate defense man in both ends of the rink!”

“- the only defenseman to win the scoring title... twice
- the all-time leader in plus minus
- NHL single season record for plus/minus: 124 (he had 139 points that year... that means the opposing team only scored 15 goals all season when he was on the ice... that's the most incredible stat in NHL history! )
- most times winning an award consecutively: 8 (Norris)
- only defenseman to record 100 assists in a season
- won an award Gretzky didn't win: the Calder Trophy
- the best skater in NHL history
- the most important reason that he is the best hockey player of all time... he did all of this on one leg... in only 9 seasons in the NHL.

He is a great person, great mentor, and the greatest hockey player of all time. I'm glad he is Canadian.

Thank you Robert Gordon Orr.

“broke into nhl at 18 years old before the exspansion needed no one to protect him both tough and good”

“Controlled the game on both ends of the ice.
What makes his /- numbers all that more amazing was that he killed so many penalties.
Greatest player ever.”

“He skated circles around players all through his amazing career as a hockey player. He will always be #1 in my books.”
