Original Toronto Star caption: orr's career in jeopardy? Boston Bruins' super-Bobby Orr, will be sidelined indefinitely in effort build up strength in damaged left knee. Orr played briefly in recent games, but knee wouldn't stand strain. Above, in Buffalo Wednesday, Orr went down on bad knee to prevent Gil Perreault of Sabres (11) getting a shot on Ross brooks (30), playing goal for Bruins. Orr underwent knee surgery in June. That was third operation. Only one small piece of cartilage remains in joint. [Incomplete]
