I love how embarrassed Bobby still gets when he's introduced. I don't think he every truly believed how great he really was. The classiest, most humble athlete I have ever known. And I had the privilege, no....the honor, of seeing him play. God truly blessed me as a sports fan to live in Boston and to witness some of the great sports moments I've lived thru. This truly is some place. Farewell to the greatest sports carhedral I have ever known. I still get teary eyed when I see Raymond Bourque helping Normand Leveille skate around the ok'd Garden....or should I pronounce it correctly.... The old Gaahhden ice for the final skate. I think I even miss the rats.

Grew up in Northern New Hampshire and lucky enough to catch a few games at the Garden. Like Fenway Park, walking through the concourses, etc and then seeing the ice, seats, banners, the monster, field, seats, etc what a feeling. And man could the Garden get loud. Bobby Orr was the best ever to play but always a humble generous gentleman. The Bruins alumni bowing when he was introduced was just so awesome.

@Lava1964 You can't really tell by the video, but the crowd was so loud when Fred Cusick was listing Bobby's accomplishments that you could barely hear him. It remains the loudest ovation I've ever heard when he walked out - more than a rock concert. What they call the Garden today will never allow the crowd to give a home-ice advantage like the old building.

Profiles in Hockey said it best; "Some players aspire to greatness but Bobby Orr was born great." As Bobby Hull said to his teamates who asked how to stop Bobby Orr, "just give Orr his own puck and we'll take ours and play at the other end" Orr was a threat to score from anywhere on the ice at any time. Orest Kindrachuk of Philadelphia Flyers said to me "Fred Shero" told us to hit his (Bobby's) knees". We felt bad about it later, but we had to do it to have a chance of winning the cup".

I was there that night. Got the stub to prove it. I teared up when Raymond Bourque came out with Normand Leveille. A bright prospect who's career was cut short. Kinda like Bobby's. But this was a truly iconic night in Boston. Never to be forgotten. As I drove past the shell of the ok'd barn in later days, you could see into the building during it's tearing down. A local sports writer (I think it was Dan shaunessey of the globe) referred to it as peering into the soul of a dead body. You could feel the ghosts and the leprechauns of the greatest sorts venue of all time. Rivalled only by possibly the old Chicago stadium. I'll throw the Forum in for honorable mention.

Then factor in that the opposing teams balls were also deflated (due to weather), 2 gauges that varied used, and many more factors & I am certain at some point, when jealousy ends, history will support his earned greatness!
