I have heard that Bobby Orr was an amazing defenseman and that he always rushed up the ice to shoot on the net. That is how he inspired me to be defense and rush to the net. There is one moment that I will never forget. That was when he was tripped by a St.Louis player and scored a goal in the air to win the Stanley Cup!
