Listen this may be controversial but personally I don’t think that Wayne Gretzky could do what he did when he was playing now a days if he had the same equipment and the same youth
As it's presented here, this +/- information is misleading. BOBBY ORR is the ONLY player to average MORE THAN A +1 PER GAME FOR HIS CAREER. ROBINSON IS A DISTANT SECOND TO ORR, averaging just +.50 per game for his career. Orr's sheer domination of games could not be more clearly demonstrated statistically. Orr CONTROLLED GAMES more than any other hockey player – and for that matter, more than any other athlete in any team sport.
Boston destroyed. Bobby was knees they would surgically drain his knees. They were surgically repair his knees leaving him no time to recuperate. In many instances they were operate instead of waiting, and let it recuperate on its own. It’s a shame they did the same thing too many players.
What’s really crazy is that Orr only played about 9 full seasons and still put up that plus/minus. Not only that but his career was pretty much over at age 26. That’s the same age as McDavid is right now. Can’t even imagine the numbers he would’ve put up if he got play 15+ healthy years. If you get a chance go che k out his stats. They’re ridiculous

Everyone says this is a nothing Stat but you can't go + being a bad player. If so provide examples.
The most important stat in my books

Clarke was a beast
Larry Robinson? Never seen that coming
Go habs go
Sorry greatest defenseman all round is lidstrom
Gonna have to redo this list bud. All hail baby Kale! Going down in the books as the best defenseman when he's done.

Bobby Orr currently is the greatest dman of all time. But I honestly believe makar will take over
These top 10 +/- numbers seem insane
A lot of Canadians on that list!
Find it funny people think +/- is a overrated stat, but literally everyone on this list are far from overrated, and have been staples to the league.
Big rob
I’m a bruins fan and I love Bobby orr but he is not better than ray borque
Larry Robinson is the best Dman of all time. Orr is second.
Where is Phil Kessel?
Bruins fan, hated(read that respected) Larry Robinson almost as much as Ken Dryden.
Amazing!! (Uh, what’s plus or minus mean…)
except Orr isn't the goat d man
Larry can fight too if need be. 😭
Cool list…an overrated stat in general but cool list nonetheless.

He will notice he poses in his LA jersey not Edmonton not the Rangers
This comment may already be in the comment chain, but curious about the ranking on an average per game basis?
When people argue on YouTube about which team was better. The 70' s Habs or the 80's Oilers ? Thank you- uve just givin' one more piece of ammo.
knew lidstrom was on there. greatest defender of all time.
