Happy birthday to Bobby Orr. He's the best

Happy birthday, Bobby!! I'll never forget the day in 1985 when he showed up at a varsity practice at St. Mark's School in Southborough. In those days, we put our skates on in a trailer outside the rink, and our thirds team was in there after practice. I look up from removing my skates and there he is at the end of the bench, lacing them up.

Best I ever saw.

I say this every year on this date ( which should a National holiday here in Canada ) - Happy Birthday to the man that made me a lifelong Bruins fan.

Happy birthday to Bobby Orr. He's the best

No doubt about it.

Fifty some odd years, where did it go? It was like yesterday when I saw him for the first time, the buzz cut and that slight bowlegged stance. And with his first stride he exploded into the greatest player of all time.Happy Birthday, Number 4 Bobby Orr. Forever young in our memories.

I say it every year when his birthday thread comes up, but he's the reason why I became a Bruins fan.

Happy birthday to the GOAT.

Happy Birthday to the Best ever !!!!!!!
“So far, the good Lord has kept me on this earth for 92 years, which I am very pleased about," Schmidt said. "I have often said this: As far as Bobby Orr is concerned, if someone better than he comes along, I hope the good Lord keeps me on this earth to see him. So far, I haven’t met that man. He’s the best -- ever. He always will be as long as I’m on this earth.”

Nice guy too. Met him in 1978 in Chicago. Couldn't have been more genuine and friendly.

No offense Cathy but your avatar hurts my eyes and makes me feel really sad.

 

[Gee Wally]

I’ve erased that from my memory.

He has been said to be a better person than player and that in itself speaks volumes.
