The great Bobby Orr playing for the Boston Bruins in the 1969-1970 season at the tender age of 21 he really revolutionized the defensive position on the ice. At that time his 87 assists set an NHL record and his 120 points were six shy of the record and became the only defenseman to lead the NHL in points. The Hall of Famer also became the only player to win all four major awards...the Hart (MVP), the Ross (scoring), the Norris (top defenseman), and the Conn Smythe (playoff MVP). Orr also led the Bruins to their first Stanley Cup in 29 years with his season ending with perhaps the most famous goal in league history with the game-winning goal in game 4 of the Finals when he was sent airborne after (pictured below). Orr statistically is one of the best hockey players in the history of the game.
