Most of us were too young - or simply not alive - to watch Bobby Orr play hockey and singlehandedly change what a defenseman could be. Luckily, YouTube exists.
No. 4 turns 68 on Sunday, and there's no better way to celebrate than by watching awesome Orr highlights set to Hannah Miller's "Promised Land." And if you've never seen the pass he makes at the 1:12 mark, you're going to want to change that. Now.
Orr had 139 points in 1970-71, as a 22-year-old. Injuries limited him to only 657 regular-season games, in which he compiled 915 points.
There will never be another.
