In every sport that has to be a greatest.In hockey, that would be Mr. Orr...
Hasn't the torch been past to 99 The Great One ?
When Ovi passes the great one , will he be the greatest?
Those knees cut his career to short but still the greatest all around defenceman to ever lace up the skates..
I wonder with today’s medical advancements in knee surgery if he would have had the opportunity for a longer career.
The bad surgery did Bobbys, knees in.That injury would have been fixed in hours with modern day arthroscopic.Quote:

Bobbys career was cut short, much like Mario Lemieux still considered top 5
He'll be the greatest scorer of all time ...Quote:

Another guy who wouldn't get bounced.... Bobby Hull
Gordie was my idol growing up.Nobody wanted to fight him if they didn't have to.Maybe even stronger than Hull.Quote:
