Crabcake Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Wow... huge loss for the hockey community. Arguably the best ever. The year of significant deaths continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Gordie Howe has only been retired for 36 years. Let that sink in for a minute.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

burgundy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 This is definitely a case of celebrating the life, not mourning the death. Thank you Mr. Howe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If you haven't alrady, read Gordie Howe's autobiography, Mr. Hockey: My Story. It gave me a whole new appreciation for such a legendary figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I saw him play in Springfield MA on the New England Whalers with his sons Mark and Marty. He and other Whalers fired pucks at the glass in pregame skate because some Scouts were NOT paying attention! He laughed. He was Mr. Hockey then. He will always be Mr. Hockey. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I will echo what I said on Facebook. I hope, Mr. Howe, that you get to play a round of shinny in Paradise. Just make sure Jesus is the goalie on your team - not the opponents, because Jesus saves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittSmith_95 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It makes me sad to see 2 great legendary sports figures go. As for Gordie, I never met him or saw him play live. I now wish I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
