Got to see him once when he and the old Whalers came back to Hartford.

Howe was also a leading proponent in the suit against the Lords of Hockey for stealing money from the players pension fund. Though not a party of the suit himself, Bobby Orr helped to finance it.

As a child Wayne Gretszy told Howe “I’m going to break your record!” Howe said “Sure you are, kid.”

Ditto your sentiment, Airborne - Godspeed Mr. Hockey and God’s Peace to Mrs. Hockey and family.

I’ve been a Red Wings fan since the 1940s as a kid growing up in Detroit. Ted Lindsay lived on my street and would wave at us kids playing hockey while ‘skating’ in galoshes on the frozen street as he drove by. The ‘Production Line’ of Sid Abel, Ted Lindsay and Gordie Howe dominated the game in those days ...

The beautiful thing about being a muslim male is that you get to break all of the rules you would otherwise impose on others.

With Ali and Gordie passing, who are the icons from that era that remain?

The two that immediately come to mind are Jack and Arnie.

I am hopeful that I will be able to get to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks. I am rooting for Pittsburgh, but it is good that a team that never got in before, as San Jose has gotten this far, so far as to be in the championship round.

When my cousin Gordie came to visit and spend the weekend at our house, the neighbor kids all called him “Gordie Howe”.
