Got your numbers wrong Joe
Bobby's last goal was Oct 28/78 it was his 270th goal and 645 assists for a total of 915 points in 657 games. A true star player, as Grapes would say "a good Canadian kid" nobody was as good as Bobby Orr. Period IMO if he was playing today's game like he played in his prime he would the leagues MVP, Sid, Conner and all the rest would all have to move back 1 position.

Oops.
I thought he scored his last goal on 10/19/78 - I'll see if I can find it. Edit: 1st game 10/19/66 last assist (#645) 10/19/78 https://www.nhl.com/news/this-date-in-nhl-history-october-19/c-282696964 Thanks for the correction. Can you imagine what he could have done if he could have had today's advanced modern surgery available back then? Same with Cam Neely.
