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.

Bobbys career was cut short, much like Mario Lemieux still considered top 5

Howe was something special ... imagine him owning a bar , the place would be a shrine
to his greatness ... clients would go there just to have a beer in his presence

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.
