Bobby Orr is severely Overrated. Not Hall of Fame material

10
Vote

by user 74.96.122.52

Bobby Orr is considered by many to be one of the greatest players in the history of the National Hockey League but a small fringe group of activists have taken a contrary view and started a campaign to have Bobby Orr removed from the Hockey Hall of Fame. Their site No More Orr (www.nomoreorr.com) claims that Orr benefited from poor competition and other factors and was not the great player many claim him to be. They have an official petition which can be signed by those in support of their cause.

Well, as somebody who fancies themself a hockey sabremetrician, I'm wondering two thing:

How did you ajust his stats? You just call it a simulation, but offer no formula as to how you got the numbers.

Your arguments, to be blunt, are pretty fucking lame. He ruined hockey by scoring goals? Paul Coffey, Wayne Gretzky, Jean Beliveau all played in a similar way, yet you don't even mention them.

I could go on, man, but face it.

you don't know jack

Don't worry everyone! It's okay! Look - the second paragraph, third line from the bottom... They can't even spell Professional properly!

A petition to get someone taken out of the Hall of Fame? Doesn't it usually work in reverse? Isn't this kind of a slap in the face to Orr and his family?

There are quite a few players in the MLB Hall of Fame who don't belong.

Yeah, well, removing Orr would be akin to kicking Mickey Mantle out.

Of course, the site could be intended as satire, in which case my anger is completely misplaced...

Orr had talent,but was a gutless piece of shit.I'll never forget how he & half the Bruins goons beat Brian Conacher almost to death, while the cowardly Maple Leafs stood & watched.

That's some kind of talent to proud of... to be able to beat a man with the help of half your team nearly to death. Cool.

Oh come on! If you watch ANY video of him you will see some of the most amazing puck handling you've ever seen. Then you will feel bad that there's no one like him today. You will see a defenseman who could beat the goalie to his own goal! Geez! Watch some hockey.
