i have no problem with people who were born 1970 onward thinking Gretzky or Lemieux are the greatest ever - their stats speak for themselves.
The difference with Bobby Orr is that you don't have to look at his stats - you just had to watch him and you knew it.
And if you look at his stats - leading the league in scoring multiple times as a DEFENCEMAN - and his plus/minus record which will never be broken - they also speak for themselves.
Just a shame his knees were shot so soon and his career was so short.
