He survived after his career in a brutal sport quite a long time. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required.

Gordie played under different rules than Wayne. Back in the day the puck spent a lot of time frozen against the boards. A fight wasn't limited to the guys on the ice, both benches poured onto the ice. There was no trapezoid behind the net. If the goalie didn't need stitches you didn't interfere with him. The Great One has a lot of respect for Mr. Hockey. Without Mr. Hockey, the Great One might never have been as there wouldn't have been hockey fans in the USA. R.I.P. ID: 1795264 ·

His pro career of 2,421 games ran from World War II through Vietnam, Truman to Carter, Sinatra to the Sex Pistols. He lasted so long that he played professionally with his children. That is what I call Great. ID: 1795393 ·
