laughedatbytime Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The first premier athlete that was close to my age. Now he's 60. :( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The Great One! Still seems weird he never one another Cup after being traded from Edmonton (I hoped he'd bring one to St. Louis! -- That was surreal, seeing Gretzky in a Blues jersey). Happy Birthday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He's the reason the Hawks have six Cups and not nine. :moon: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This recent interview Gretzky did in 2016 was informative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kW5K08wdvI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Happy Birthday, Great One! I saw him play the Colorado Rockies when we lived in Colorado (lol). It was a great game, Lanny McDonald played for the Rockies back then as well and was always fun to watch.

Derek19 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 "Happy 60th Birthday, Wayne". During his playing hockey years, he is, and or was the best, or one of them. Hopefully, he is keeping really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wow that is old! How did that happen??? Wait a minute...I turn 60 this year also.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I am by no means a knowledgeable person when it comes to hockey and I don't watch that much of it. However, I do remember watching him at his peak in Edmonton several times and thinking to myself "geez, he looks like a man playing against boys". It was just so obvious that he was that much better than everybody else on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just so obvious that he was that much better than everybody else on the ice. I realize the comparison is maybe not useful, but in his last full season of pee-wee hockey he scored 378 goals. He was always a man among boys, even when he was a boy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) Loved the video the NHL posted for him. Even if he never had scored any goals, he still will hold the record for assists for a long time. In 1982, 50 goals in 39 games, that's just unbelievable. I was so sad that Montreal stole the Cup in 1993, I so wanted him to get another Cup. I got to see him when he became the coach for Phoenix, our local team was their farm club in 2004. He was here along with the Stanley Cup, that was a great day. :D Edited January 28, 2021 by Rhyta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a consolation perhaps, Mr. Spin-a-rama was a good player, afraid Chicago wasn't on my radar then. Just thought the Montreal coach was a jerk but at least the Habs haven't been Cup contenders since then :P. It was Marty McSorehead that really lost the Cup for them :16ton: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
