Tiger was a great entertainer and a goon - one of the rare goons in his era who could play a regular shift and score 20 goals a season plus goon it up to over 300 penalty minutes a season.

Most teams of that era had one or two goons, the Flyers were a whole team of them, even the skilled players on that team were dirty. They used to call it the 'Philly Flu' - there were players in the NHL who would fake illness or injuries to avoid having to play against the Flyers.

Winning the scoring championship as a defenceman like Orr did I can almost guarantee will never happen again. But I still don't think it's his most remarkable accomplishment - his plus/minus stats were bizarre - nobody has ever come close to those stats. And what most people don't know about Bobby Orr is how tough he was and what a great fighter he was, he didn't fight often but when he did he was a beast - as good as any of the top fighters of his time.
