On 8-2-10, my wife and I visited Bobby Orr Hockey Hall of Fame in Orr's hometown of Parry Sound, ONT. What a fabulous place!! Everybody who loved Orr should go see it!! Lots of film clips, and guests can even "play announcer" for 6 or 7 of his great goals. What I particularly loved about Orr (I was born and raised in Boston area and was and still am a huge Bruins fan) was that he NEVER got a swelled head about his wonderful talent. Unlike so many of today's "OSB"s. Overgrown Spoiled Brats.

@VrgniaMailman I was sitting beside his dad at the grand opening of the BOHHOF. That its self was an honour!

Song??

[Garge56]

Simply the best by Tina Turner!

[ethanpaskewicz9]

is sad that he only played 9 seasons

[Garge56]

He only played two whole seasons in his career. 1970-71 and 1974-75.

Bobby Orr the icon of hockey. anybody who knows better knows that Orr was the greatest. people just go with the more popular Wayne Gretzky

[mangosox9589]

Forget all the rest...He was simply the best !!!!!!!

[TheCallOfDutyBraun]

The greatest hockey player of all time right here. Neither Gretzky nor Lemieux have nothing on the great Bobby Ore.

You call the bruins class less Yet the monkey (subban) on your team flops and dives like a bitch. You should really get your priorities straight.

Ok..the GREATEST and the BEST are 2 different things.

Here is my 2 cents worth..Ive seen all the greats. For an 8 ear period Orr was the best player ever.....but Ill tell you somthing and if you disagree ..TUFF cause its true. I take Gordie Howe for 25 years over Orr for 8 any day and I don't look back. Orr the best ..but Mr Hockeyt, Gordie Howe is still the greatest all around player ever.

Bobby had class on the ice and off it......total hockey player, gifted and humble. Pains me to see the likes of no-class pieces of shit players like Ference, Chara, Thornton, Boynton etc donning the jersey. I'm a Habs fan but still respect the original 6 and other teams players. Got no respect for the bruins though....cheap-shot artists chasing smaller players around and then having the hubris to call them out after a series......no class.

[bruinsfan98]

Bobby Orr is the best. On the ice he was like MC Hammer, "You cant touch this"

[VrgniaMailman]

I was born in 1951 in Greater Boston, and started following the Bruins about 1965. They have won only two Stanley Cups in my lifetime (1970 & 1972), and Mr. Orr far and away was the number one reason. Just a fabulous athlete AND person!!!
