HERE’S WHY BOURQUE IS BETTER THAN ORR
Now it can be told. Raymond Bourque is better than Bobby Orr on the best night Orr ever had. That’s right—Bourque over Orr, and the facts back me to the hilt. So let’s get right down to them. First, we start with the vast array of myths about Orr. Myth I: The Superman Theory: There’s a wonderful bromide that applies to Orr—’’The older a man gets, the faster he ran as a boy.” If you listen to some revisionist historians, they’ll have you believe Orr actually flew over the ice. Not true. Orr arrived in the NHL for the 1966-67 season. He meant so much to the Bruins they finished last (17-43-10). According to the On Fairy Tales, Bobby turned the team around the next season when they did make the playoffs. Nonsense. The…
YOUNG GUN
It must be an odd-numbered year, because Harvard senior right winger Carl Joshua Young has again had to adjust to new linemates. Young, known widely as C. J., is the remaining survivor of the famed ‘Firing Line,’ the three-man sharpshooting unit so instrumental in carrying the Crimson last season to its first NCAA Division I hockey championship. Young, Hobey Baker Award-winning left winger Lane MacDonald and center Allen Bourbeau formed one of the most explosive lines in college hockey. MacDonald and Bourbeau graduated. But Young, long overshadowed by his illustrious ex-linemates, hasn’t let their graduation keep him from putting up some Hobey Baker-candidate numbers of his own—seven goals and eight assists in eight games. “Their (MacDonald and Bourbeau’s) absence hasn’t detracted from his success this year,” said David Conte, assistant director of player…
