Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted October 22, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 22, 2016 He was awesome at offense but way too much of a pussy for me to ever idolize. Players like Howe and Orr I like better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT MXZ XRS Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Wayne Gretzky is the greatest of his era. Not necessarily the greatest ever to play the game. The game he played was much different that how it was when Gordie Howe played. Just the same as its a different game being played today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
