Help is on the way.
Bobby Orr was considered bad defensively.
Ya know what? It didn't really matter. He spent 10% of his icetime in his own zone. The other 90% was him flying through the neutral zone with the puck, or peppering the other team's goalie.
So 10% of "bad" play, is peanuts next to 90% of domination.
Same applies to Kane and Karlsson.
Did you ever see him play, because I would be shocked if anyone who ever saw him play would say this. Bobby Orr played on the PK and most often killed the penalty by himself. He would get the puck and then toy with the opponents by using speed, change of pace skating, and change of direction to not only kill off the penalty but often create offense.
You inferring that Karlsson is a comparable player is beyond crazy.....he is no where the same player. Orr was also very tough to play against!
Why the Norris is not named the Orr Trophy now is what I find surprising. Best player who ever played the game in my opinion!
