Greatest Moment of the 2010-11 season: Krejci vs. Orr

by Dave Carignan on Aug 28, 2011 11:30 AM EDT in 2010-11 Player Report Cards

Today's best moments features David Krejci's three game winning goals during the sweeping of the Flyers and Bobby Orr waiving Nathan Horton's flag before the start of game four vs. Vancouver. These two will be the only two in round one that are not from the same series. Round two against Philadelphia can be summarized in two words. David Krejci.

David Krejci single handedly shredded apart the Flyer's goal tending with 4 goals (3 proved to be game winners) and 5 assists. He showed why he was missed so much in the previous playoffs after Mike Richards broke his wrist on a hard open ice check. Krejci had a quiet round against rival Montreal, but after what happened to him the season before might have been the spark he and the Bruins needed to crush the Flyer's hope's and dream's.

To the surprise of the Garden's crowd, before game four against the Canucks, Bobby Orr had been named honorary captain for the Bruins. It was a heart felt moment when Bruin legend and the greatest to have ever laced a pair of skates on was seen waiving Nathan Horton's flag within crowd.

I also had goosebumps watching Orr wave that flag….Krecji provided such top of the line play…I must say, though, thank you Bobby for an all time classic display of respect.. Oh, and to Krecji an infinite thank you for being a Bruin and getting the job done. Vote goes to Krecji.

Bobby Orr is amazing but I’m going to defer to the on-ice product here.

Yup, same here – and the Bobby Orr thing was intentionally made to be a great moment. Krejci dominating is just… great.

Kick his ass, Seabass!

What made Krejci’s performance against Philly even sweeter is that last year’s series against Philly turned when he broke his wrist. Revenge…it’s what’s for dinner.
