Bobby Orr's stick handling was always what impressed me the most I think. The things he could do with a puck boggled the mind! Players today are so one dimensional......quite sad really. Having grown up in a house with an older brother who ate, slept and dreamed Big Bad Bruins, I had no choice but to watch the hockey games and I was glad I did. He was amazing.....the Babe Ruth of hockey! Watching the Bruins of my youth was the best....like watching the Bird Celtics!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Could anyone imagine if Bobby got to play all his home games on a huge rink like Grezky had in Edmonton instead of one of the smallest rinks (Boston garden)

That video of #4 brought back a lot of childhood memories. Watching him and the rest of the Bruin's back then was fantastic. Bobby Orr is the greatest to ever play the game and still remains a great guy if you ever get a chance to run into him. This is even after being screwed by his agent. They don't make role models for kids like that anymore it seems.

they took the audio off the first youtube video on the thread here by redmasque so click on this, it's a live version but it works if you start them around the same time. start the rhapsody first.

Watching the video brought back some old memories. I used to love watching the Bruins, unfortuatly they were pretty bad for so long , I got used to not watching them. Play off hockey is whole level above the regular hockey.

Hockey thoughts:
The book "Orr on Ice"
Peter Puck
Cheevers mask with all of the stitches
Jonny Bucik hip checks
Espo camping out in front of the net and scoring
Pie Mackenzie
Ace Baily with a white turtle neck
Gary Doak blocking shots

Even though I'm from The Bronx & a YANKEE FAN.
I really enjoyed watching Dwight Evans gun runners down from right field.
Jim Rice, I can not believe he is not in the hall yet.

Rice will be in there in a matter of weeks--he's among this year's inductees.

I can only think of 3 professional athletes who truly revolutionized the way their position was played---Orr, Lawrence Taylor and Bill Russell. Russ brought defense, shot blocking, and rebounding followed by the quick outlet pass triggering the fast break to the center position. Taylor forced offensive coaches to redesign blocking schemes to defend him, often requiring them to assign a tackle where in the past, outside linebackers were always blocked by a tight end or a running back. And no defenseman ever dominated a game from the blueline, or made the breathtaking end-to-end rushes, the way that Orr did--before or since.

Fans would show up early at Fenway, to watch BP. Not to see guys hit gumball lobs over the wall, but to watch Evans warming up his throwing arm from right field to third base. In a game, guy on first, ball hit to right, you'd hear a murmur start to rise, and if the runner on first rounded second and tried to go to third on Evans' arm, you'd have everyone on their feet. He and Clemente had the most accurate guns from right field that I ever saw, even better than Barfield's. I would have like to have been around when Carl Furillo was playing, though--old timers say his arm was the best-ever.
