Bobby Orr...jesus ####ing christ. May as well have gone back to the 20's and mentioned a player that stopped playing because of polio. Apples to apples please.

I remember back in the Stone Age, I played D for the Cave Bears. My defence partner was a guy named Grog. Great player, skated like a deer, hit like a woolly mammoth.
One day, Grog's knee gave out. There were no trainers then, so I had to operate myself. I opened up his knee with a stone axe and did the best I could. Oddly enough, Grog was just never the same after that.
This story is as relevant to modern sports medicine as Bobby Orr's.
