Boston Garden Goes Berserk At Bobby Orr's Bruins Jersey Retirement | Centennial Stories, Ep. 2 

i was at this game with my dad....i was 11,it was the first time i saw my dad cry......what a night

The humblest athlete of all time.

They'll never be another like him. Never

Bobby Orr is a good man , a humble man ! Bob M .

Bobby Orr is the reason why I fell in love with hockey. We love you, #4! 🏒🏒🏒🏒

Thank you Mr. Orr

A great great hockey player and an even better human being!

Boy is Bobby loved in Boston and all around in the world of hockey. What a classy person. Every father would like to have a son like Bobby. Humble to the core.

Terry O'Reilly. The heart and soul of the Bruins players from the mid 70's through the mid 80's. What a tough bastard. Thanks Terry for all the memories!

golden age of boston bruins hockey, the games back then were a must see for all of us.

Best player I have ever seen at the old Boston Garden. He revolutionized the game. Defenseman were not expected to score. And yet he wins the scoring title as a defenseman ! #4 Bobby Orr 🏒🤘

That's awesome. They wanted to show their appreciation. One of the newer chants is "THANK-YOU. BOB-BY!! (clap. clap. clap-clap-clap)." If that one was around back then they would have done it for 20 straight minutes. This was the '79 Bruins team. When Grapes took them to within a hair of the Stanley Cup Final. That would've been just a great, great night. The hero-worship must've been unreal. I learned of Bobby Orr much later on. I had no idea how good he was. Arguably the greatest complete hockey player ever.

I was at the garden the nite they retired ORiely' jersy, When Bobby Orr came onto the ice the place erupted it was awsome!!!!

My idol of course from the age 8 in 1969,, to still even today...

Classiest, most humble person you'll ever meet - How he played hockey is one of the least great qualities of this man.

Greatest hockey player I ever saw and the best example of a sportsman, person and model for young people you could ask for..Like a very very few, he was so good you just had to laugh and marvel. Bravo.and eternal thanks

Gretzky and Orr...tie for GOAT...if his knees held out maybe The Best !

Growing up I played left defence and wore # 4 on my jersey. There was no other defence man who could take his place.

I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, watching in earnest since 1963. But I am also a NHL fan, from back when there were only 6 teams in the league. As a kid born and raised in rural 🇨🇱Texas🇨🇱, I basically knew of no other pro hockey fans. There were no NHL teams in the South, but we got the NHL games on TV, and l became a fan of the Montreal Canadiens. I remember the legendary Bobby Orr's rookie season with the Boston Bruins in '66, and became a fan of his from then on. Not only is Bobby Orr one of the greatest players in the history of the NHL, but even more so.....he is a great human being. God bless our pro hockey players from a by-gone era 🏒🏒

Even with two bad knees, he was better than anyone else.

The Greatest! We love you Bobby you're my HERO #4 BOBBY ORR ! ❤

Looooove this!!!!

I remember watching that!!! The G.O.A.T!!

Bobby, just a class act all the way

Two words. Love great

There will never be another player like#4 Bobby Orr. THats it those are Big shoes to fill.

Saw this on our local news(Halifax,NS) and I still haven't heard a louder stadium ovation ANYWHERE(I'm a Leafs' fan).

Was Bobby a Beatle?

My dream came true when as a boy in Ukraine, I watched Bobby Orr playing in the Canada Cup in 1976.

I am a hockey Historian ,yet I've never heard of him .

Hes one of the goats ,my father compared him to ali ,

4 ever…

Where’s Grapes?

Only 30 years old.

terry?

The only thing that’s consistent with Debrusk…is that he’s very inconsistent…. Usually leads me to think it’s a mental thing….would take Bert Uzzilia back any day

Lost me when he supported Trump. Will never get my respect back.

Lost all respect for him when he supported Trump but he was second only on the ice to Gretzky.
