Orr calls for return of red line to slow NHL play

BOSTON -- On the night to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his first game in the NHL, Boston Bruins legend and Hall of Fame defenseman Bobby Orr gave his state of the current game and what he would do to fix it.

"I think the game is fine," Orr said. "My only concern with the game today is these guys are so big and so fast and we're so open, look at the injuries we have and I've been saying this, and many people get upset with me when I say it, but I think somehow, we've got to slow the game down a little bit and the only way you can do that is put the center line back in.
