- In 1976 Bobby Orr signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Chicago Blackhawks that shocked Bruins fans. Unbeknownst to Bobby at the time, the Bruins had actually offered him a very generous deal that included partial ownership in the team.
So why did he reject the offer? The answer lies with his agent, Alan Eagleson, a man who would become one of the most important figures in hockey for years to come. He would organize multiple world tournaments and even help start the NHLPA. But did Eagleson really have the players best interest at heart? Let's find out.
Bobby Orr...the Pride of Parry Sound, Ontario! ❤
Allen Eagleson---Screwed Bobby Orr---He Never Told Bobby About Contract ...That He Could Have Been Part Owner Off Bruins !
There are no statistics for how much time and space Bobby Orr made for his teammates with his unbelievable speed and skills, but in 1970-71 The top four leaders in points in the NHL were all Boston Bruins! Phil Esposito had 152 points, Bobby Orr 139 pts., Johnny Bucyk 116 pts., Ken Hodge 106. I’m sure Espo, Bucyk and Hodge would tell you it helps to have Superman on your team.
Because of Bobby I was a Ice hockey player and a Captain in 1978 . He was hockey ! He wore no shoulder pads !
I recall his play in the Canada cup on one good leg. Bobby Hull said he was better on one good leg than everyone else on two. Also I recall him faking out a Soviet forward to kill a penalty an the Russian was holding his jock after that. If only he was playing in the 72 series.
❤❤ORR❤❤
Orr had too much guts for his own good. He played like balls to the wall and couldnt accept anything less.
Imagine if Boston had their own Big Three of Orr, Park and Bourque.
Good job on this ...a lot of substance ...thumbs up
You mentioned 3 Art Ross's but he actually won 2 (Espo in 69). Nonbetheless he was the best ever!!!
Bobby suffered a lot ...a lot! ...it's a shame his career ended, so early ...at such a young age
Nice video thanks for putting that together I was a kid when Bobby,s retirement ceremony was on TV . it really was more like a funeral to me. watching someone living been taken away from the life That he wanted so bad to be living. With that being said if Orr head continue to play yes his goal count through the late 70s ,and 80s with the horrible goaltending that was going on in the league he would’ve been putting in 60 goals per year. I think no other player in their individual sport dominated his peers like ORR did For the short time he was healthy. Such as wilt Chamberlain Michael Jordan players like that in the team sports were close.
Imagine only being able to do 10% of your capabilty and still being called the best...by your peers.
As a bruins fan who stil loves you phil...seriously stop whinjng...your Canadians playing a. A candian tournament in Canada...your supposed to win 😂
What would’ve happened if Orr got knee replacement surgery in 75-76 instead of just resting?
Technology wasn't anywhere near as advanced as it is today. No comparison. He was done.
@@treygray2817 The first arthroscopic knee surgery was done in 1967 in Toronto. 8 years later, wouldn't it have been better than regular knee surgery?
@@September2004 Probably, but not enough to resuscitate his career. Keep in mind his knee was permanently damaged by the 8 or so prior surgeries. For example, Bo Jackson had his hip replaced in the early '90s, but he was never the same player.
@@treygray2817 Oh, if we're talking about doing his first arthroscopic knee surgery *after* all those other types of surgeries, you're right.
I meant what would happen if he had arthroscopic knee surgery only from 1967 onwards. Maybe lengthen his career by a few years?
Problem with that is that Orr didn't know how to 'rest' and wanted to play every game. He assumed he could just icepack his way through the regular season and then do rehab in the summer and would be back to 100% by the pre-season.
