I set out to write about Bobby Orr as the subject of NHL Digest’s weekend hockey legend, but I then came upon this video that says more than I could ever write and explains exactly the legacy that Bobby Orr left in the National Hockey League.
The video is somewhat long, but it is eight minutes that you won’t regret spending if you are a hockey fan. Enjoy!
Bobby Orr’s offical website is a must view. Make sure you have some time to really check out all that it has to offer.
A great tribute to Bobby Orr can also be found at the Bruin’s Legends Blog.
A lesser know fact is that Bobby Orr also owns ORR Hockey Group, a player agency that represents rising young stars like Rick DiPietro, Jason Spezza and Eric Staal.

Always felt that Bobby Orr was the greatest ever…followed by Richard and then Gretzky. I live on the tapes of Bobby when he was a kid; always the most dominant factor on the ice each time his blades set down.
I only wish I could have seen him live, even if in the nosebleeds, beating my Leafs.

I am in total agreement that Orr was the most complete player in the game as he could play every facet of hockey at top speed.There have been other great ones the closest to him would have to be Howe who could also do everything well in all aspects of the game.I think that Messier would be third as he could play the game any way you wanted and a total team player.
Speaking of the top fifty of all time that was solely based on point production not all parts of the game.
