Boston Bruins TD Garden has removed the Bobby Orr statue

[Fenway]

A friend visiting Boston from Chicago wanted to take a selfie with the Orr statue tonight and it is NOT there.

What she heard at 'The Fours' is it will return when the Bill Russell statue is moved to TD Garden.

Cant we just leave it there? Why remove it and then bring it back? Russell will be there soon?

Or are they just waiting to bring them together? Strange. But okay. At first glance I thought it was damaged or something.

I think it is a smart move by Delaware North and the city of Boston.

The house that Bill and Bobby built. Can’t wait to see them both in front of the building

Russell should of been there before Bobby anyways! But glad they'll both be in front of the Garden. As they should be.

If they win it again and were to put up a life size Chara statue in streetclothes, what's the over / under that the general population in 40 years thinks he was a basketball player.?

If they did this to protect the statute from the uncontrolled mob, I understand and agree.

If it was to appease a group, then it ridiculous.

Agreed.

The Bruins had the statue of Orr made. It’s up to the Celtics to make one for Russel, he absolutely is more than worthy of one and the Celtics should get it done.

Why did it need to be taken down? Just add the Russell statue as quickly as possible. In fact there should be a number of statues added with the historic strength of our sports teams.

It would be neat to have a row of ten or so statues.

just between the Celtics and Bruins alone you could probably easily get to 10. So much history between the two of those teams

I’m betting part of it has to do with the positioning the two statues so that they don’t block the flow of foot traffic and also so Bobby doesn’t get damaged during the installation of the Russell statue.

Can’t wait to see them both out there.

It's going to wave our flag in Toronto or else we will lose.

It looks like Bobby is kicking and screaming that he doesn't want to go from this angle lol
