His is a story of dramatic highs and lows. In Searching for Bobby Orr, Canada's foremost sportswriter gives us a compelling andgraceful look at the life and times of Bobby Orr that is also a revealing portrait of a game and a country in transition. "So Bobby Orr could skate, he could stickhandle, he could fight when he had to. He could shoot without looking at the net, without tipping a goaltender as to what was coming. His slapshot came without a big windup, and was deadly accurate. Skating backwards, defending, he was all but unbeatable one on one. He could poke check the puck away, or muscle a forward into the boards. In front of his own net, stronger on his feet than his skinny frame would suggest, he wouldn't be moved. But there was more...
