I want a pic of Orr and Ovechkin side-by-side and ask a non-sports fan which one is 75 and which is 38.

One of the all time scumbags in hockey and there is a lot of competition.

As much as I like Bobby the hockey player and what I know of how he treats individuals.. his worldview could use more than a little adjusting (like a great deal of boomers who don't realize the world has changed), so I think your misunderstanding actually works both ways.
