Part 8/10:

Orr continued to break records through the 1970s, showcasing unparalleled skill and achieving feats that many believed impossible for a defenseman. The 1973-74 season marked the beginning of a troubling pattern, one where even as his statistics remained superhuman, his knees grew increasingly fragile. Despite his incredible performance, the Bruins fell short in the playoffs, igniting concern for both Orr and his team.

In what would be his final full season, Orr set a personal best with 46 goals and 89 assists. Tragically, injuries soon overshadowed his once indomitable prowess. At just 27, in an era when players typically hit their prime, Orr faced the grim reality of declining physical capabilities, with his legendary speed and agility hindered by knee ailments.
