Hard To Believe: Bobby Orr Turns 60

To me it's just like yesterday. There was this young phenom who was going to reverse the fortunes of the sorry Boston Bruins and revolutionize the game of hockey.

Truth is Bobby Orr did both. As a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, I was not a fan of Orr. But it turns out he was the best I ever saw, and that inlcudes the likes of my favorite Jean Beliveau and other greats by the names of Howe, Hull, Lafleur, Gretzky and Lemiuex.

Orr brought Boston two Stanley Cups and changed the game forever.

Happy 6oth birthday Bobby Orr.
