Orr, so far...

[TML-Mike]

I was checking out how people have voted so far this year, and according to the votes, he's 0-2-3. Hardly impressive. Is this a result of him being off his game, or bad voting on the part of people here?
Personally, I think the latter. He definately hasn't decisively won any, but I think the one last night, for example, was a draw, and not a loss. I'd also say his fight against Koci was a W. I say he should be at least 1-1-3 right now, instead of 0-2-3.
What's everyone think though? Because despite his willingness, which, as a Leafs fan, I love, 0-2-3 certainly isn't a pretty record. Has he been off his game so far, or are the fights so close that it's almost too hard to call?
On a side note, anyone have a prediction on his first KO or decisive victory victim? I say he beats down Cote, as usual.

Slow starter. He started off last season weak as well. By Christmas he'll be over 70%, with a few KD's on the resume´.

I have him 2-0-3, wins over Godard and Koci, draw against Laraque, Brashear, and Parros. Preseason win over Cote.

Godard, Laraque, and Brashear are all top 5 fighters, coming out of those 3 fights without a clear loss is a big stride for Orr, he's having a great season so far. He wants to open up and throw with everyone and no one will trade with him. He'll start racking up some clear wins eventually.

It's not like he's lost badly for the most part, he just seems to have been edged out a few times in the early part of the year and the fights were mostly draws. Love how willing he is for the Leafs though.

His quality of opponents is also very high. He's on pace for about 40 regular season fights, so I wonder how long he can keep this pace up.

No doubt. His four first fights last season was against - Cote, Boulton, Stortini and Peters. And that was until late November. Then he beat Godard and seemed to gain some momentum.

I think Orr has done well so far this season.. He's fought 6 times if you include his pre-season fight with Cote which I do when looking at cards, and he's only lost the once to Brashear.

I have Orr card as..

Clear win against Cote..
Draw against Laraque..
Narrow win against Godard..
Narrow lose against Brashear..
Narrow win against Koci..
Draw or narrow lose against Parros..

That's 6 decent fighters he has fought, and 3 guys that were top 5 at the end of last season.. He's not had a clear lose against anyone and most of his fights have been high quality..

When you look at the start he had this year compared to last season, then I think Orr had a decent start to this year.. and looks like he will have a solid year again..

Please. Orr is still a Top 5 heavyweight in the NHL no matter what his record is so far. Look at the fight card he has so far.

Its pretty ridiculous that any Leafs fan would be complaining about Orr. Especially considering the Laughs.... I mean Leafs haven't had anything resembling a heavyweight in years.

How about reading the ****ing post? I'm not complaining at all. Oh, and while you're at it, watch some hockey. The Leafs haven't had a heavyweight in years? I guess Belak (until 2008) and Domi (until 2006) don't count then, eh? We actually only went 1 year without a heavyweight...
But, like I said, I'm not complaining about him at all. I was more pointing out the fact that the voting seems to be off so far. I was more sticking up for Orr, saying his record should probably be 2-1-2 instead of 0-2-3.

[nyislesfan45]

1-1-3 if you ask me.

[Cat Smasher]

I have Orr as 1 Win and 4 draws.

Because remember, edge is not a win. Edge is one fighter did a tiny bit better, but not enough to win the fight outright.

[moxie]

Orr has performed up to expectations so far this year. I see him as a top 5 guy when he's at the top of his game. So far he's beaten the guys he should, and lost to the guys he should.

[bobberino]

Orr is doing well. His only loss was to Brash, Jeez!

His 1st KO victim? Somebody who is stupid enough to open up and trade...

[grits207]

I'm a bit disapointed that he doesn't have a clear win yet, but lets not forget that he also hasn't clearly lost any dispite the fact that he has faced some pretty tough opponents. The only fight I thought he would have done better in was last night against Parros.

BTW I wouldn't put much into the vote results because it seems like alot of people vote based on who they like/dislike instead of who actually did better in the fight.

[FlyersFan09]

Though his record might not look that good, it's not like he's getting $hit kicked in any of his "losses".
Most could even be called draws.
Hate to admit it, but Orr is top 5 easily.

You can't really go by the voting on here either. Too many homer biased voters.
