    I don’t understand what in the world Bobby Orr has done to become the consensus greatest defenseman of all time. Just because he got the most hype doesn’t mean he was the best. If you watched him play, you’ll notice he was a pure offensive defenseman who couldn’t actually defend away from the puck. He was a turnover machine as he always coughed up the puck gifting the opposition a breakaway or odd man rush. His positional play was terrible as he always lost his man allowing him to get free for a scoring chance. Whenever he was on the ice, his team would give up a ton of shots. The only reason why he stood out was because he scored a lot of points, the majority of them coming on the powerplay. Chris Chelios was a better defenseman than him.

    Zero chance of Sweeney giving Torey Krug $8 million per. At best if Krug stays in Boston he'll get 6 x 6.75 at the very most. No way Boston gives him anywhere close to $8 million.

    No way was Lidstrom the greatest. Dude couldn’t skate, he was extremely slow & had poor agility. Wasn’t a great puck mover. He was only a good bodychecker & slap shot taker. No where near Chelios or Leetch.

    bc your bio says Kane is one of the greatest players of all time, Your evaluation of players clearly is skewed if you think Kane is top of the top. And with all your posts, you a constant negative troll of players

    based on his bio, a guy born in the 90s, who hasn't watch a second of actual Orr game tape, with no understanding of the era of the league he played in and the players that came before Orr...yeah no wonder he doesnt understand. Just trolling looking for attention

    I was gonna ignore this, but its one of the dumbest things i have seen on this sight yet.
    Orr was a fantastic defender, but what really makes him great is that he is the 4th ALL TIME in Points Per Game, AS A DEFENSEMAN, so either he is the third greatest forward of all time (behind Wayne and Mario) or he is the best dman of all time.

    I mean, I hate to say it and I never want to be rude. But this is just plain dumb. This is LITERALLY like saying that Gretzky isnt the best player ever because he didnt do much defending.

    I agree he was on another level. Do you know his favorite player was? Brian Leetch

    It's just to start a fight.
    It's becoming very clear to me at least in the last few days that the way HTK likes to roll. Unfortunately, we click these pages and he gets "little red" numbers on his screen and it's "Pavlov's Dawg" all over again...
    Cheers

    I mean its a really dumb fight to start because hes just gonna come out with no credibility on this website.

    A good fight to start is Crosby is worse than McDavid, because it will piss of Pens fans, but it may be (and probably is) true at this point

    You do know he said he'd take a discount to stay in Boston probably around $7M.

    He would get 8 mil (7.5-8) outside of the bruins, but has expressed that he will take less money with the bruins (6.5-7) so i have been saying 6.75 and that is more accurate

    How could you say that Orr is the greatest defenseman because he put up the most points? You do know the purpose of being a defender is to actually be able to defend, to suppress shots, to take the opposition of the puck and to the puck out of the defensive zone. You have no evidence whatsoever to back up your claim that Orr was a good defender.

    Since you insist on being an expert on Orr, can you explain to me what made him such a good defender? Don’t bring up points cuz that’s not the most important aspect of playing defense.

    You have no idea what you are talking about and all you do is troll argue and throw out blanket statements claiming them as facts when they are your jaded opinions.
    You are getting dumped on in this thread bc you have no clue what you are talking about and you are trying to look for attention with a click bait topic that you have no clue about and you think your opinions for attention is correct even though it goes against every person who has covered hockey or watched it for the past 30 years in regards to Orr

    There is no point educating you on it bc you dont want to, y ou will just make your next troll article
