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

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?
