Down for the Count?

At one point in his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colton Orr was one of the toughest heavyweights to throw knuckles in the NHL. In 2009/2010 Orr dropped the mitts an impressive 23 times never shying away from the rough stuff and always sticking up for his team mates. From a fans point of view it seemed as though his team appreciated his security. Today Orr has been put on waivers and his fighting career could be coming to an end after suffering a concussion after a bout with George Parros last year. There is also the chance that no team claims Orr and he has a chance to prove his chin can still take a punch down in the minors. Orr only played in 5 of 39 games this year.
