I didn't know Brooks had a brother named Bruce that also played in the NHL.

Who the heck is Bruce?

And good riddance to that fake tough-guy.

'"A favorite Orpik moment"? I remember when Bruce and I were struggling door to door vacuum salesman. This was before his illustrious NHL career. I was ready to give up after a long slump. Bruce said to me, "You know, sometimes the vacuum game sucks and you get down. Stick with it".

That meant a lot to me. Every night, Bruce would go to hockey practice. I always knew he would make it. Does anyone else have fond memories of Bruce?

Brooks will be devastated that his brother Bruce retired. What a great career it was.

My favorite Orpik moment was when he changed his name from Brooks to Bruce...
