God I am not a bruins fans nor was i alive during the Orr era but as a hockey fan Bobby Orr was the best of his time. Quite the same can be said of Mr. Cusack. The best duo was Cusack and Derek Sanderson. RIP Mr. Cusack.

a few ears back at a charity event in Boston, a fan told b\Oobby Orr she was so sorry for him that his career ended early. Bobby told her to shed no tears for him and that he was the luckiest guy in the history of the world to have the 10 greatest years of his life in a city that adored. Kinda tough to root against a guy who is not only the greatest ever, but a real gentleman as well.

Thanks so much for posting this. What a class act he was and is. Kids today have missed out big time. He did more for Hockey in New England than any one could have imagined. PeeWee & Bantam Leagues just sprung up everywhere. It brought us all together no matter what side of the tracks you were on.Thanks Bobby for some of the best memories of my youth. I will always admire you. You taught us to work hard, to strive for the best, but most importantly, to do it while remaining humble.

Wow, that took balls to introduce Alan Eagleson to Boston fans. Even more guts for Eagleson to show up. What a slimebag.

silverfox4743, I couldn’t agree more that Bobby Orr is the greatest to ever play. You know how I know, I am from Ottawa and last year Daniel Alfredsson had the best year of his career. He was 37 years old. Bobby Orr achieved everything before the age of 30 when injuries stole him from us.

Being an ontario boy, I have friends who have met bobby orr thru various charities. Every one of them have said that he is THEE nicest guy. You can see that in him on highlights as he is so humble when he scores. He seems almost embarrassed. The greatest hockey player ever!!!!

To finish my …
To finish my thoughts: I absolutely love Gretzky, Lemieux, and Howe, the pleasure that they gave me over the years, as a devoted Hockey fan, was unbelievable, but Bobby Orr was the greatest hockey player to ever play the game, PERIOD. If anyone doubts this, they can get a copy of the article from Beckett’s. After reading that short compilation of number 4′s feats, THROUGH ALL FACETS OF THE GAME (THAT IS THE KEY), no one could successfuly argue that he wasn’t the greatest. Thanks again!

Thanks SO MUCH for …
Thanks SO MUCH for posting the entire retirement ceremony. I was born and raised in New Haven, CT and most of us adopted the Bruins as we only had a minor league team, the New Haven Blades. I don’t think that there is or ever was a sports personality that was more loved than Bobby Orr. I had always believed that he was the greatest to ever play the game, then about 10 years ago, Mark Doll wrote the argument in Beckett Hockey monthly for BGO being the greatest, and it solidified it in my mind.
