The humblest athlete of all time.
Hard to argue...one can make a persuasive case for his exemplary humility especially in light of his literal superstar status in the hockey world. What a gift for the sport to have had the likes of Beliveau, Howe, Mario...#4. Class acts all.
They'll never be another like him. Never
i was at this game with my dad....i was 11,it was the first time i saw my dad cry......what a night
Bobby Orr is the reason why I fell in love with hockey. We love you, #4! 🏒🏒🏒🏒
Bobby Orr is a good man , a humble man ! Bob M .
Thank you Mr. Orr
A great great hockey player and an even better human being!
Boy is Bobby loved in Boston and all around in the world of hockey. What a classy person. Every father would like to have a son like Bobby. Humble to the core.
Habs fan for almost 60 years and I have discussed among my sport fanatic friends a longtime held sense that of all the supreme athletes that have worn a Boston/NE jersey in their careers (e.g. Williams, Russell, Bird, Brady etc.), regardless of a most worthy respect and admiration for their contributions to their sports, it is Orr that will always be the most beloved, not least because of his character. I don't believe that I'm wrong about that.
Terry O'Reilly. The heart and soul of the Bruins players from the mid 70's through the mid 80's. What a tough bastard. Thanks Terry for all the memories!
Best player I have ever seen at the old Boston Garden. He revolutionized the game. Defenseman were not expected to score. And yet he wins the scoring title as a defenseman ! #4 Bobby Orr 🏒🤘
golden age of boston bruins hockey, the games back then were a must see for all of us.
That's awesome. They wanted to show their appreciation. One of the newer chants is "THANK-YOU. BOB-BY!! (clap. clap. clap-clap-clap)." If that one was around back then they would have done it for 20 straight minutes. This was the '79 Bruins team. When Grapes took them to within a hair of the Stanley Cup Final. That would've been just a great, great night. The hero-worship must've been unreal. I learned of Bobby Orr much later on. I had no idea how good he was. Arguably the greatest complete hockey player ever.
My idol of course from the age 8 in 1969,, to still even today...
Gretzky and Orr...tie for GOAT...if his knees held out maybe The Best !
I was at the garden the nite they retired ORiely' jersy, When Bobby Orr came onto the ice the place erupted it was awsome!!!!
Classiest, most humble person you'll ever meet - How he played hockey is one of the least great qualities of this man.
Beliveau right there with him. Great men through their character...Amen.
Mr. Orr, you are the ONE and ONLY...❤
Greatest hockey player I ever saw and the best example of a sportsman, person and model for young people you could ask for..Like a very very few, he was so good you just had to laugh and marvel. Bravo.and eternal thanks
The Greatest! We love you Bobby you're my HERO #4 BOBBY ORR ! ❤
Even with two bad knees, he was better than anyone else.
I was blessed to be able to watch Bobby's entire career as a young teenager in central Mass.....he is the greatest player that will ever play hockey and a greater human being. People talk about records that will never be broken in sports but for some reason Bobby is never mentioned in those conversations. But, what he did when he won all four major awards in hockey as a defenseman will never happen again. Winning the scoring title in the NHL and winning the best defenseman award the same year, which he did twice, will also never happen again. That feat just doesn't even make any logical sense yet that's what he did. I think Bobby Clark put it best when he said after seeing Bobby play, "he needs to be in one league higher than this one...". He also said Bobby Orr is what what all hockey players everywhere should strive to be like both on and off the ice. He wasn't flashy...he didn't need to be....he was just so much better than everyone else and still would be today.
Thanks Bobby !!
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, watching in earnest since 1963.
But I am also a NHL fan, from back when there were only 6 teams in the league.
As a kid born and raised in rural
🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱, I basically knew of no other pro hockey fans.
There were no NHL teams in the South, but we got the NHL games on TV, and l became a fan of the Montreal Canadiens.
I remember the legendary Bobby Orr's rookie season with the Boston Bruins in '66, and became a fan of his from then on.
Not only is Bobby Orr one of the greatest players in the history of the NHL, but even
more so.....he is a great human being.
God bless our pro hockey players from a by-gone era 🏒🏒
Growing up I played left defence and wore # 4 on my jersey. There was no other defence man who could take his place.
Bobby, just a class act all the way
My first pair of skates had a Bruins symbol and the number 4. Born in 66 will always be my favorite
Two words. Love great
There will never be another player like#4 Bobby Orr. THats it those are Big shoes to fill.
I remember watching that!!! The G.O.A.T!!
Looooove this!!!!
Saw this on our local news(Halifax,NS) and I still haven't heard a louder stadium ovation ANYWHERE(I'm a Leafs' fan).
Was Bobby a Beatle?
My dream came true when as a boy in Ukraine, I watched Bobby Orr playing in the Canada Cup in 1976.
Hes one of the goats ,my father compared him to ali ,
I am a hockey Historian ,yet I've never heard of him .
4 ever…
Where’s Grapes?
The greatest EVER. On and off the ice. #4 🐐 👑🏆
Only 30 years old.
terry?
The only thing that’s consistent with Debrusk…is that he’s very inconsistent…. Usually leads me to think it’s a mental thing….would take Bert Uzzilia back any day
Orr is proof you can be an elite athlete and still be intellectually challenged.......he supports trump
Lost me when he supported Trump. Will never get my respect back.
and you supported hilary, much, much worse. No one will ever say that they lost respect for amattsrsky because no one respected you in the first place.
@@Bruin88 And more could care less about you. If you still support tRump at this point you're next level stupid.
Grow Up
@user-by6mf8vz9d that's the great thing, I have.
Lost all respect for him when he supported Trump but he was second only on the ice to Gretzky.
I seperate my support for him as a hockey player from my disreguard for him supporting Trump, that scoundrel. The hockey thing is too much top lose to politics.
Grow Up
@@user-by6mf8vz9d LOL! Orr was a genius on the ice but clearly not off it.
