It just so happens I was watching the documentary about the Tragically Hip's last tour last night, and in it there's a moment when Gord Downie talks about getting a call from Bobby Orr, and its clear how much Bobby Orr meant to him. It dawned on me that Jarome Iginla is my Bobby Orr.

Your old bro.
