Gordie Howe

Before Wayne Gretzky rolled around, Howe was and remains the only other play in NHL history to record 800-plus goals. “Mr. Hockey” wrote the NHL record books before Gretzky rolled around, putting up some incredible numbers before the offensive explosion of the 1980’s and in a time where defenders were essentially allowed to maul attackers.
With six MVP trophies in the span of a decade, Howe defined dominance in his era. His career spanned from the end of World War Two to the heart of the Cold War, playing 32 seasons of professional hockey between the NHL and the World Hockey Association. That’s just insane. Known for his toughness, Howe’s name lives on in hockey jargon through the “Gordie Howe Hat Trick“, where a player records a goal, an assist, and a fight.

Gordie Howe
Greatest athlete in hockey. Played into his fifties! He was given room to set records because he manhandled players - not because he was protected. When Howe had the puck it was special like when Mantle came to the plate.M+36
Scotty Bowman. You know him? At a luncheon he was asked who the best was and without hesitation said Howe. In an era of 5 decades, he defined the all around player. He could score, he could defend, he could pass, he could skate. The Russians when just starting to take ice hockey seriously, used Howe as their model. As far as Gretsky goals, look at the number of goals scored when Howe played and the overall number per game was far lower than in Gretsky's time. So, based on the lower totals, Howe scored more goals based on overall production.M+11
Howe had the unique ability to define how a game was to be played on any given night. Any style /speed his skill set allowed him to play any way the opponents wanted to play. Probably the one thing about Howe was that while he was the most dominant player he was not dynamic in the sense of the other great players. You had to watch him play over a period of time to witness how much better he was than his contemporaries. Their would be even a higher appreciation of his extraordinary skill set if there was video and or tape of him during his prime.M+11
RIP we will miss you gordie

The Queen of The Damned.
Steady young man!
The queen of the last and the greatest empire in the history of the human race... God bless her... Little cotton socks
The queen of diamonds let you down,
She was just an empty fable
The queen of hearts you say you never met
Your twisted fate has found you out
And it's fin'lly turned the tables
Stole your dreams and paid you with regret
Desperado
