Stampman Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Did anyone see this--during first intermission of game 5--wow--that was something--too bad he did a lot to the teams I liked...While some players may have been better at this or that than Orr--he could control the flow of a game and take over like no other player ever.There were times he was all the penalty kill the Bruins needed.

habsfannova Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 He was the greatest player ever. You can cite statistics, blah blah blah, but for those years he played, he dominated the game like no other player can. That goal agianst Atlanta was THE most amazing and defining moment ever. He won the freaking scoring race as a defenseman! Only Paul Coffey ever came near that.Gretzky could score. But could he hit? Could he fight? Nope. For the complete game needed for hockey, Orr was the best.I actually agree with Don Cherry on something. Shoot me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I actually agree with Don Cherry on something. Shoot me please. Ugh, repent now! I can't stand Cherry, he's off his friggin' rocker.Since I didn't see said segment, I can't really comment on it. I'd still probably take Gretzky over Orr overall, but there's little to argue about Orr's influence over defensemen since that time. I almost wish there was less influence, since defensemen are supposed to play defense (damnit!), but there's no doubting his place. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!
