say what you want about about wayne (one end of the ice, stays out of the corners, never fights, never blocks shots, metiocre +/-,) gretzky, but Bobby Orr is the greatest all around hockey player to ever lace up a par of skates, period. He won the league scoring title twice as a DEFENSEMAN, and that stat is only the tip of the iceberg as far as what he accomplished during his career.

pure hockey!!!! omg so easy to forget that Bobby orr was the greatest hockey player of all time.....

Orr was signed to a professional hockey team at age 14. What other player can say that?

You're a fool, Hurley. Longevity should have no bearing on who the greatest player ever was when it pertains to health. RGO was hands down more talented than Gretzky and didn't mind getting his hands dirty. Orr could do everything that Gretzky could offensively, but could also play shutdown defense....something that Gretzky knows nothing about.

If only he would have had the luxury of modern science, we could be talking about a guy challenging Gretzky in the all-time scoring chart. Seeing how he played his entire NHL career with a bad knee and put up those numbers is absolutely incredible. He's a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!

Orr was a hell of a player as well, but he only played half a career. Best ever? Nope.

You're clearly delusional. 2000 career assists... selfish... yah, almost.

And as for not mentioning Gretz and Orr in the same same breath? Honestly, if you consider everything... you'd be lucky to mention Orr in the same breath as Gretz.

Don't be an idiot. Gretzky was by far the greatest player of his period (not even remotely close) and he made anyone that he played with lightyears better than they would have been otherwise.

@dmans442: Orr would have been dominant in any era; goalies today benefit from larger, lighter-weight pads, bigger and better-designed gloves, and more. Orr would have benefitted from the newer skates, sticks, and lighter gear - not to mention better medical care and training methods. Goalies in the 1960s didn't use the butterfly style as often as today - but make no mistake, there were some fabulous goalies in that era. Different style of play in those days, no question. Not better, different.

Thank you so much for posting this. That is all I can say.

@DopesandChange ...I'm a moron? I love when people turn to name calling. It is the last line of defense when someone starts to realize that they are wrong. I am just curious here, how again was Gretzky selfish? That could honestly be the stupidest thing I have every heard. He has won the NHL scoring title on his assists alone. One commentator used the analogy; that is like winning the Major League Batting Title, batting 700. Getting over 100 assists 11 seasons in a row; sure seems unselfish!
