It seems Rogers Sportsnet has pissed off the greatest defenseman ever.
Bruins legend Bobby Orr joined Ordway, Merloni & Fauria on Thursday as part of Christian Faurias 25 for 25 drive to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
Orr, who played for Don Cherry with the Bruins for two seasons beginning with the 1974-75 campaign, was asked to weigh in on the controversial firing of the Coachs Corner host, whos affectionately known around hockey as Grapes.
I know Grapes better than anybody. Hes not a bigot and hes not a racist. This guy is the most generous caring guy that I know. What theyve done to him up there is disgraceful, it really is, Orr told the guys.
