#4 Bobby Orr

Here I am once again, inside the penalty box blogging away. I recently watched the video attached to this post on YouTube and it made me think. Bobby Orr was the best hockey player to ever step blade on the ice in the professional leagues. He played for a salary that most pro's today would shrug off as chump change. Yet, there has not been a player comparable to Bobby Orr since Bobby Orr himself. Sure Crosby and Gretzky were good...possibly the fabled "great" but in my opinion nothing compares to the greatest. This man played with heart, and with a burning desire to win. Players today just do not have it. The Intensity Orr had was to great for his opponents to handle, however he brought his own team nearly up to his level, creating possibly the best NHL team to ever exist. Orr played for the spirit of the game, and the honor to skate for the Boston Bruins. Raise a Beer, Wine, Juice, Milk, or whatever it is your drinking tonight to #4...Bobby Orr.
