BOSTON -- Patrice Bergeron does not have anything autographed by Bobby Orr.That reality is inconceivable.How does the alternate captain of the Boston Bruins, a player who has won a Stanley Cup, will likely spend his entire career in the organization and ultimately have his No. 37 retired -- and is a huge collector of hockey memorabilia -- not have anything signed by the legendary No. 4? How can this be true?I dont have Bobby yet, Bergeron said. I just dont want a jersey. I want something signed.To commemorate the anniversary of their 50th and 80th rookie seasons, respectively, Orr, 68, and fellow Bruins legend Milt Schmidt, 98, dropped the ceremonial first puck before the teams home opener against the New Jersey Devils Thursday night at TD Garden. Orr, 68, pushed Schmidt in a wheelchair out to center ice as the 17,565 gave both a standing ovation.It was so special to see them, Bergeron said. Bobbys so down to earth, its amazing how he is, how nice of a person he is.As Schmidt and Orr exited toward the Zamboni entrance, Bergeron skated over and shook both their hands. A team photographer stood nearby and took a picture. Now, thats the item Bergeron should get signed for his collection.That would be pretty sick, he said.On this night, it wasnt about Bergerons personalized autograph collection. It was an opportunity to honor two of the greatest players to ever wear the spoked-B.Before the brief pregame ceremony, Orr and Schmidt met with the media. As they entered the room just outside the Bruins dressing room, Schmidt quickly gained control of the crowd.Ladies and gentlemen, you are having the privilege of seeing hockeys greatest, Schmidt said.As Schmidt, a former player, coach and GM for the Bruins, continued to praise Orr, the eight-time Norris Trophy winner reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and handed it to Schmidt as a joke.I would go with you, Milty, being the greatest Bruin ever, Orr said.Schmidt, who still has his finger on the pulse, quickly chimed in: He has to say that because Im sitting right next to him.Former Bruins teammate Derek Sanderson is not shy about sharing a funny anecdote or a serious story about Orr. Unless youve been living under a Zamboni, you know how Orr saved Sandersons life by helping him get clean and sober. That act of kindness and friendship is one major reason Sanderson is alive. Hell tell that story to anyone who will listen. But he really enjoys telling about the good times, too.Earlier in their careers, when they were both single, Orr told Sanderson it would be best if he settled down and got married. ?I said, Nah, its not in my blood. Youll be married before me, Sanderson recalled Thursday afternoon. [Orr] said, No, I wont.So, they made a bet: The guy who stayed single lost and had to pay $1,000. Sanderson lost.I paid it in pennies, Sanderson said with a laugh. He rolled a wheelbarrow full of pennies into the Bruins locker room at the old Boston Garden before a practice and dumped the coins in front of Orr.We ended up with some [$1 bills] because the bank wouldnt let us wipe them out [of pennies], recalled Sanderson.Orr is the reason New England became such a hockey hotbed, beginning in the late 1960s. His on-ice success created a hockey craze, especially around Massachusetts.When I came here in 67, you could have shot a cannon off [in the Garden] and you wouldnt have hurt anybody, Sanderson said. Bobby put all the seats in the building.In 1967, the Bruins would have Mondays off. Orr would gather a few of his teammates, including Sanderson, Gerry Cheevers, Don Awrey and Phil Esposito, and they would board a bus and travel to local communities to play against high school teams.We would switch goalies and have a scrimmage, Sanderson said. It sold out. It was only a buck, so all the parents were there and we played a game for an hour, an hour and 20 minutes. But when you get on the ice with somebody who is a freshman in high school, and youre playing on the same ice as Bobby Orr and Esposito and those guys, they became fans for life. And now theyre grandfathers.There were no cameras. No social media. No one to spoil those types of moments. Orr made it genuine. Even trips to local childrens hospitals. Sanderson would leave those visits depressed, but he said it would rejuvenate Orr because he would promise to score a goal for a sick child.Bobby did all that for free, Sanderson said. Ive never, never seen anyone, anyone do that.Bruins coach Claude Julien easily breaks into a smile at the mere mention of No. 4. Julien is coaching his 10th season with the Bruins, the longest tenured coach in the NHL with one team. He understands the impact Orr has had on this community and organization.Youre a kid and hes your idol and then you turn around and hes your friend, Julien said.Devils forward Taylor Hall, the No. 1 overall pick by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010, is represented by the Orr Hockey Group. He doesnt know Bobby Orr the hockey player, Hall only knows him as a friend and agent.From the time I met him I was 14, it was pretty cool, not only for me, but my family to experience him and to see him and to listen to what he says, Hall said. Hes got great ideas about the game and the way players should play. Hes a great man and a nice guy, but hes going to go to bat for you as an agent. As I grow older and see the impact that hes had on a city like Boston, its pretty cool to say hes one of my friends.The ovation Bobby Orr receives whenever hes in the building is unmatched. Hes a gentleman. Hell do anything for the fans and the Hall of Fame defenseman is truly one of the greatest of all time.When you go someplace with him, youre staying until everybody gets an autograph, Sanderson said.Sounds like Bergeron has a shot.

Giggs, who was assistant manager to Louis van Gaal, is stuck in limbo over his future at Old Trafford, with impending new boss Jose Mourinho understood not to want the former United winger as his deputy.The Portuguese, who has agreed personal terms to succeed Van Gaal and is expected to be unveiled later this week, is believed to want Giggs in another role in his backroom staff, but it remains to be seen whether the 42-year-old will accept what amounts to a demotion. But Schmeichel, a former United team-mate of Giggs, believes if the Welshmans ultimate ambition is to manage United himself he should learn the art elsewhere before making a return.The former United goalkeeper told Sky Sports News HQ: There are two sides; the club side and the Ryan side. I think Ryans big dream is to one day manage United.To be equipped to do that, he has to go away and be a manager at other clubs - standing on his own two feet, making decisions, producing results, getting his own ideas in - rather than step-up from being assistant. Peter Schmeichel explains why Jose Mourinho and Manchester United could be the perfect match I think, for him, it would be a good idea to go somewhere else. On the other hand, Ryan is a culture bearer. He is someone who has been at the club for a very long time, and its so important that we have that within the staff.He is someone who knows what the club is, knows the tradition and history - knows everything about it. Whatever he decides, its down to him and, whatever he decides, I think that will be the right decision.But I wwould like to see him go away and come back some day prepared for the challenge because weve seen that, in the last three years at United, its a hard job to be manager there.dddddddddddd Its not something you can just step up and do. Peter Schmeichel believes Ryan Giggs wants to manage Manchester United one day Another of his former United team-mates, Paul Scholes, believes Giggs departure would be a sad day for the club, however, and is unsure what the former midfielder should do.If he left the club, I think it would be very sad, Scholes told Sky Sports News HQ. Hes been there 20-odd years and knows the place inside-out, how the club works and what kind of football is expected. It would be really disappointing if he did leave. Paul Scholes thinks Manchester Uniteds style of play under Louis van Gaal led to the Dutchman losing his job Its all down to personal preference, it depends on Mourinho and what he wants Ryan to do - if he wants him to assist him like he did with Van Gaal - and what Ryan wants to do. If he wants to go away and manage then Im sure hell be very good at it.I hope Mourinho is the right man. Joses been at big clubs and had success. Hes won something at every club hes been at, and hell be expected to do it again.
