I hope I get one friend like Bobby Orr. Derek's got to be something special for Orr to stand by him like that.
Bobby Orr is the class act of all time. What a knight in shining armour...always to the rescue of his friends.
Bobby was class. He signed his December 1970 cover on Sports Illustrated as Sportsman of the Year for me in the bus tunnel at The Spectrum in Philadelphia. FLYERS fans truly respected Orr and Sanderson's games.
Derek threw me a puck at a Bruins game when I was 10 years old. I still have it.
That is something.
My father was a season ticket holder from 60’ till 76’. He brought me to this tribute which I loved. My father passed away a month later.
I grew up watching the Bruins, I was 10 years old in 1970 when they won the cup. I loved everyone on that team, and in my young eyes (now old), they were the greatest team ever - with many characters like Sanderson, Cashman, The Cheese, and Pie. Bobby was definitely the leader, and has always been a super class act - a true role model to me and millions of other kids around the Boston area. I don’t think anyone has ever said a bad word about Bobby. As a now 60 year old man, he is still my idol - and a true gentleman.
Derek's biography that came out around 2016 is a great book for all hockey fans. A must read for all Bruins fans from the 70s.
"Iv'e got to be me"
I am a Leafs fan but will be sure to read it.
I love Derek! Always have & always will!
People need to know how unique and talented a player Sanderon, was.
His laying his entire stick on the ice to block passes in penalty kills was awesome.
It’s very easy to slip into addiction in any field…and very difficult to get out of. Derek has done something the majority don’t do. I’m sure he’s very thankful for everyone who helped him fight his demons.
Bobby orr .i mean what can you say.its a roast and hes hailing derek for his victory over substance abuse .gretest playerof any team sport ever and the classiest humblest pro athlete ive ever seen.
I agree...big ranger fan
When Derek played for the Philly Blazers in 1972 and Cheever played goal for the Boston team, Derek was free on a breakaway with his head down. Cheevers came out of the net to flatten Derek, but at the last second Derek chipped the puck over Cheevers' head into the net. Derek gave Cheevers the "gotcha" look. Awesome. This Flyers fan will say it. The WHA destroyed the Bruins dynasty and helped the Flyers, as they got Bernie Parent back from the WHA. Bernie single handedly beat the Bruins in The Cup Finals in May of 1974.
Cheevers played for Cleveland
Bob Lobel: The only man I've met that's written a book before he's read one. 😂😂😂
Don Gavin's ribbing was a little rough, but pretty funny.
"GOD BLESS DEREK SANDERSON & BOBBY ORR & THE BIG BAD BRUINS!"
Great stuff Derek, and Bobby ..."Day at a time," "But, for the grace of God"
I have two Bruins jerseys. One says ORR 4 on the back. the other one? SANDERSON 16. When they retired 16 for Rick Middleton. it should've beon retired for Derek as well.
Nifty has the HoF stats, should be in the HoF....Turk doesn’t have the numbers.
@@CatholicTraditional turk had 2 stanley cups , nifty had none
@@MegaSmarterthanyou True, but there’s plenty of no-name players engraved on the Cup.
AGREED. #16 will always be Sanderson. Just like #9 for The Eagles will always be Nick Foles.
Hey Zizzbiz Great video, and I really love you Thumbnail!!!
"The Gilligan Totem Poll" Great episode.
Awesome
And hes from Pipestone,Manitoba
TRES Cool
Turk.....Ive got to be me... Read it.

Funny there was alot of drinking here and Sanderson was a recovering alcoholic.
