#4 turns 70 today.
It’s Bobby Orr’s 70th birthday, and there is no better way to celebrate than looking back at some of his remarkable plays.
One of the most talented defensemen of all time, Orr changed the game in how defenseman could put up points. 11th all-time in scoring with 915 points, Orr is simply a legend. He averaged 0.411 G/GP (1st All-Time) and 0.982 A/GP (1st All-Time) over the course of his career.
Above we can see how Orr could buzz around the ice and dipsy-doodle around the opposition. When Orr was taken down, it looked like the play was over. Bobby stuck with the play and dished the biscuit to Johnny Bucyk, another Bruins legend.
Bucyk buried on the backhand and completed a remarkable play.
Happy Birthday to Mr. Orr!
