The greatest player to ever lace on a pair of skates. He was Gretzky's idol.
He was one of those few super athletes who could have excelled at 2-3 sports at the pro level.
Iconic man. Had all the skills. Could listen to him all. Day.
Greatest COMPLETE hockey ever. RIP.
One of the most amazing statistics in hockey: Top 5 in scoring, 20 consecutive seasons...
Gordie was a beast, a freak of nature and a hockey player, the likes of which, we will never see again. Long live the memories of Mr. Hockey.
My hero. RIP
Thank goodness for Saskatchewan 💚
When I was a kid growing up during the 1960's the two most popular players in hockey were with the Detroit Red Wings & Chicago Blackhawks Mr. Hockey & The Golden Jet. When the WHA merged into the NHL in 1979 I got to see the legendary Gordie Howe playing on the same line with his two sons Mark & Marty for the Hartford Whalers, how many dad's in pro sports could say that they got to play on the same team and on the same line with their kids None ! Gordie Howe @ 50 will always be Mr. Hockey all the way at drop of the puck. He was Great RIP.
I met Gordie Howe in 1991. He has big hands like claws. Then I understood why he had such good wrist shoots.
Miss you Gordie
Mr hockey gordie howe
Greatest comb over in hockey.
He seems to have more charisma than the typical hockey player. Almost like they are interviewing a movie star or something
Such a mellow soul, but once he's on the ice he's the devil.
Gordie's NHL & WHA stats combined:
RIP
The description is wrong, he actually came back to play with the WHA's Houston Aeros
Is it me or is this what sid Crosby will look like eventually. Kinda sounds like him and his expressions and mouth. Rip. Legend
Gordie # 9 was the Bested when he got the pack Gordy delivered the mail that means a goal
