Bobby Orr Tweets Congrats To Cale Makar
Ever gotten a tweet from Bobby Orr, commending you for your hockey play? Cale Makar has.
Congratulations @Cmakar8 for a wonderful season! I couldn’t be happier for you and all your teammates @Avalanche
— Real Bobby Orr (@RealBobbyOrr) June 27, 2022
The iconic Orr, still considered the greatest defenseman of all time in NHL history, tweeted that at the Colorado Avalanche D-man just now.
I’m old, so kids today just kind of look at me blankly when I say the name Bobby Orr, but trust me kids, he was a revolutionary player in the game of hockey. He had 139 points one year as a defenseman.
Makar has drawn comparisons to Orr, most recently from the Great One, Wayne Gretzky.
This is just another feather in the cap of Makar, who only won a Norris Trophy, a Conn Smythe Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the last week.
And how was your week?
