Dallas Smith comes to mind as he was usually Bobby's partner on the ice. A good player to be sure, but +371 for a defensive defenseman in only 10 years? If no Orr, would his +/- been even half that good?

Toby Maguire. Young looking and has that embarrassed, wide-eyed thing he does which would make a good Bobby in his first few years when he realized he was so much better than everyone else but tried to remain humble.

This will make a great b-day gift come October. Gotta start dropping hints to the The Warden.

My Story: I'm no Man-Orr

What? We're not telling any scandalous road tales during his prime?

If anything somebody from the Oilers dynasty in the 80s need a tell all, and explain how Gretz scored on and off the ice. Seems like that team was a rock band.

October can't come fast enough.

Jackson's already on hold for the "Willie O'Ree Story". He will play the old Willie in a narrative role. Leonardo DiCaprio will play the young Willie.
