When Men Were Men... Bobby Orr- The Man Who Saved Pro Hockey

Great article man, really nice stuff as always.

It makes you wonder if the no socks thing was why Paul Coffey started doing it as a skilled defense guy like he was. That has crossed my mind since Paul is older than me and Bobby was looked up to by so many.

Something else business related and so hockey related was that he was the world phenom sacred cash cow latched onto by his manager Alan Eagleson who SCREWED Bobby $$ wise and thus others in his stable of 100+ players.

Bringing attention to this issue with agents/legal and money wise.

Parry Sound is fg cold in winter boy, I would know, I went thru there in my convertible on my X-country mission trip with a broken heater LOL

I know about Eagleson... The owner of the B's wanted to give Bobby half ownership in the club. I just couldn't bring myself to attach that to the post
