5 NHL players you forgot played for a certain team

#1. Bobby Orr, Chicago Blackhawks

When you think of Bobby Orr you think of him as a Boston Bruin and the famous goal he scored while he was in the air.

Orr played his first 10 seasons in the NHL with the Bruins, but ended his career with Chicago. However, due to injuries, Orr only played in 26 games with Chicago, so most fans tend to forget about his time with the Blackhawks.
