Happy 60th Birthday Bobby Orr!
I’ve been waiting all freaking day to get a blog post together and since 90% of my company is gone now to watch the PITT game (go PITT!) I can finally get to typing.
The video above is a tribute to Robert Gordon Orr. *no he’s not dead* who happens to be one of my favorite hockey players of all time. Today Bobby Orr turns 60 so I thought that the video above would be a great way for me to share to those of you non-hockey fans the greatness that is #4.
