Hope he doesn't dent the pearly gates with those elbows on the way in.

Sad news. He spoke at a banquet for a tournament I played in waaaay back when. I wish I could tell you what he said but being the idiotic teenager I was at the time I didn't listen intently like I should have. He was the "guest referee" for an exhibition game involving a bunch of Mini-Mites the next day I believe, and all of us were in attendance. At least THEN I had the wherewithal to realize "Holy crap, that's Gordie Howe out there."

May the ice always be cold and clean beneath his skates as he journeys onward. :cry:

So long, Gordie. You were everything that everyone wants in their heroes.

Tough, funny, kind, loving, dignified, eternal. It’s the Canada we like to tell ourselves we are. We’re not, of course, not always. We have plenty of problems, on and off the ice, in and outside of hockey. But we’d all sure as hell like to be like Gordie Howe.

Great picture, Skip.

Caught a good chunk of Murray's absolutely wonderful eulogy.
