Believe it or not....I used to watch hockey....back when the Bruins were BAD! Not bad like they are today....I man "BAD"! After Bourque and Neeley left....we had nothing since?!?!?!?!

When you're evaluating the greatness of Gretsky, bear in mind that he was skating against defensemen, and shooting at goalies, who would have had a hard time making it in the AHL back in the 60s and early 70s

Even the first round of expansion in the late 60s didn't dilute the talent the way it's been diluted today.

No doubt, Gordy Howe was one of the best ever, but I don't think he could skate with Bobby Orr.
Gretsky and Mario Lemieux would have had a tough time playing in the 60s & 70s the way the game was so much more physical!

Thanks for posting that Ron, that was fun to watch. He truly revolutized hockey and his position, and while both Gretzky and Howe were amazing offensive players, I never felt either had revolutionized their position.

In watching that another Orr video came up as recommended, kind of nice seeing what the likes of the Golden Jet and Clarke(his comment struck me as perfect-"he did it with grace, elegance,....and modesty")thought of Orr:




P.S. Watching Hull talk with that square jaw ........trying to remember........was it Ferguson of the Canadians who broke Bobby Hull's jaw?
