Besides, Bobby Orr was the best player to ever play the game, so I don't think people should get too uptight about comparisons to "the great one".... he's still not the GREATEST one. Bobby Orr redefined the defensive position, you could say he helped redefine what hockey was. Gretzky redefined offence. Perhaps Crosby, if given the time, will be the one to redefine the "complete" player?
Let's just calm down and wait before saying he'll never be Gretzky. Nobody will be. But Gretzky was never Orr, so it's not like it matters.
