What clearly separates Orr from Gretzky is his on-ice toughness. He fought, sometimes savagely, with a barroom Irish temper. If Gretzky was ABBA, Orr was The Clash. That's not necessarily an endorsement. It's just the way it is.

Having had the pleasure of seeing Bobby Orr in person several times, I couldn't agree with you more. When he first played for the Bruins, he was all of 18 (or maybe 17) and was a target of other teams. So, he had to develop a toughness to survive although I expect that he was already pretty tough.
