#4 Bobby Orr

There's no limit to what Bobby Orr can do on ice. His teammates and fans of the Boston Bruins know it, opposing players are made aware of it nightly and his coach Harry Sinden understands it completely. In this 1970 CBC-TV clip, Sinden heaps praise on his young superstar's dexterity as well as his shooting and passing ability. But it's Orr's skating prowess that the coach holds in the highest esteem. "I've seen him leave the finest skaters in the league behind even while carrying the puck," Sinden says.

Teammate Gerry Cheevers notes Orr's all-round game. "He can show up some nights and play the greatest defensive game that you'll ever want to see and he can combine it with offensive play too," says Cheevers.

 Great video that gives the "modern" viewer of hockey a few of the inherent talents that Orr had that made him such a special player as described by his then coach Harry Sinden. Look esp at Orr with the fans-He never shyed away from his responsibilites to them and took time to sign autographs. How many players do that now a days? He wasn't just a great player, he was also good to the fans. Thanks for the great hockey Bobby!, it was truely our pleasure!!

Great film.I was born the same year Bobby Orr came to the Bruins and I wish I didn`t watch him in his twilight years in which he was better with a injured knee than anybody i have ever seen including the great ones.If i was born ten years prior it would have been phenominal time to watch Boston sports and talk about it.
