wow, i remember this game, on the replay you could see irving actally shoot the puck at bobbys head and orr called him on that so they fought and orr wins another fight.
STFU bithces, why cant u only anjoy all of those legends and respect what they did not argue over whos the best, everyone of them were better than the others in DIFFERENT things. Stop arguing just enjoy their skills
@MildlyAnnoyedAHM with out question bobby orr would make thoughs too look like peewee hockey players they wouldnt be able to touch the puck bobby orr is the greatest hockey player to ever play this awsome game
@MildlyAnnoyedAHM lemieux and gretzky dont deserve to be mentioned in the same sentance as mr orr besideds messier was better then lemieux and gretzky
@MildlyAnnoyedAHM lemieux and gretzky dont deserve to be mentioned in the same sentance as mr orr besideds messier was better then lemieux and gretzky
who the fuck is this douche bag billiebobsmith??? if this idiot said he watched Orr since juniors he a liar and full of shit, Bobby Orr never needed anyone to stand up for him, he ha almost 40 fights gretzky had maybe 3 and got the shit kicked out him all the timw, ORR had NO equals which again proves you dont know shit, sit home and watch you red wings and keep your ignorant comments to yourself...ASSHOLE!!!
Fighting IS A PART OF HOCKEY> To be considered for 'the best player of all time', you have to be able and willing to throw a punch. Orr is the only on of the 'great players' who qualifies, (perhaps also Howe).
Orr was the only NHL player ever credited by his peers for changing the way pro hockey was played. It went from a defensive minded game not unlike football ( in North America it is known as soccer) with scores like 2-1 or 1-0 commonplace to scores like 5-2 or even 6-4 as commonplace. Before Orr (as Jean Beliveau would describe the division line for "old time hockey") a score of 3 - 0 in the NHL would be considered an absolute humiliation for the losing team. Now, it is an unfortunate setback.
Few nice attempts by both but the punches falled shortly to the mark.
SOLID DRAW.
Orr was a big legend but i think that few players are ahead of him(Gretzky, Lemieux and Bourque).
I think many guys underrates Bourque, he was great all-around defenseman, warrior whos endurance was something unique and he was skilled guy, strong as ox and smart as hell.
All we can really do is compare players to the players they played against. There's really no way to tell how Orr would play if he grew up with the modern training, equipment, technology.
Hockey was a joke back then? What the fuck are you saying? They didn't wear helmets. Some of today's players wouldn't play. They'd refuse. O'Reilly, Cashman, Gillies, Nystrom, Howatt, Schultz. Man, that's as good as it gets.
Those of you who say Orr was protected or not good enough for today's game are just ignorant. To say Gretzky, Lemieux and Howe were better have no idea what Orr could do. He was a better skater than all three, was faster than all three, was a better stick handler than all three and had a better shot. The only similarities Gretzky and Lemieux had with Orr was their play-setting ability. I
@bspears121 I once heard someone say that Gretzky wouldn't have been so good if he played now due to the equipment used and training these players go through. My response was that Gretzky used the same gear and had the same training as everyone else back then and he dominated. If he was born later and had the same training and equipment that is used now, he would still dominate. The same can be said of Howe, Orr, Lemieux, Hull, Sittler, Sawchuck, or anybody else. Skill is timeless.
You're either a really bad troll or retarded and I hope for the sake of your family and the state that the former is true. I would try to explain why you're wrong but, depending on which of those two things you are, you'd be too busy trying to piss people off or drooling all over yourself. Either way, go fuck yourself.
I know everyone who has enything to do with hockey knows about orr's scoring ability but alot of people don't dnow about him as an enforcer for the Bruins.
So what if gretzky was protected. he had marty mcsorley and and someone else come with him when he got traded. orr and gretzky and both small playeres who make up for it with skill and effort. orr was tougher because he learned how to fight for himself. he was an all around better player. gretzky was a goal scorer. they were both phenomonal players.
Really? Really? Gretzky didn't have bodyguards? As EVERYONE ELSE here is letting you know, Gretzky was by far the most protected players the League has ever seen. Between two players at a time protecting him and the League making sure he was OK, he was leaps and bounds above the rest, protection-wise. Gretzky was great, but put him in any other era and without his goons, and he's less spectacular. Also, Orr didn't need goons to protect him, he fought for himself.
KR4CK, I agree! Wayne the WHINER as he was called, wasn't half the player Orr was! Bobby Hull had to carry goons on his back and still scored goals with his strength alone. Watch how he handled Fleming on youtube! lol
My friend so are so far lost you dont know your ass from your elbow. Did you ever see wayneo ever protect himself nooooooooooo he always had his boyz. bobby kicked there ass himself then scored the game winner!
if Bobby Orr were an american, americans would regard him as the greatest athelete of all time. No one had the impact on his sport more, a defenseman winning the scoring title is like roger clemens winning the homerun title.
This is why Wayne Gretzky is maybe Number 3 on the list of all-time best hockey players: He was a wimp who let thugs like Messier, McSorley and Linsemen do his fighting for him. Bobby Orr was a man, even with all those Big Bad Bruins around him. The only reason he's Number 2 is that he only played enough games to add up to 8 seasons. Longevity is what makes Gordie Howe the all-time best all-around player... and the last man to mess with.
Orr and Howe are the two greatest players of all time. Howe's game was built around intimidation, Orr's around speed, but they were both complete players who excelled in every aspect of the game.
I have trouble putting Gretzky as high as number three, because he wasn't very good defensively, and he was pathetic when it came to the rough stuff.
Howe's longevity is truly amazing, but for the 9 seasons before his knees did him in, nobody has ever been better than Bobby Orr.
got his face beat again?? what vid were you watching?? Prolly a jealous Rangers fan. Shame you couldn't call him that to his face, even today he'd kick your ass.
For the younger hockey fans this would be like Crosby or Ovechkin taking on Boogard. It would never happen. Orr was the best "all round" hockey player of any era!
Ted Irvine was not exactly Boogard, but he was one of the tougher players back then. And Orr was much tougher and more physical than either Crosby or Ovechkin. In fact Orr probably had 25 or so fights in his career and I doubt either Crosby or Ovechkin will ever have one their whole career
Orr certainly didn't pick his spots. He took on many of the best fighters in the game. Ted Irvine's nickname was "The Baby-faced Assassin". He's the father of wrestler Chris Jericho. Bobby gets an easy decision here.
most people don't know that Bobby Orr was a very good fighter. Ted Irvin was a heavyweight. Was'nt much of a fight, but Orr wins this one . Sorry meanwiddlekid
how was that homer announcing? He said both guys were getting blows in and Irving went down! That's EXACTLY what happened! As a matter of fact, Orr drilled him with about 4 shots and only got hit once! It was a more one-sided fight than the announcer let on! LMAO Fucking tool!
