In my opinion, the top three hockey players of all time looks like this.
1. Bobby Orr
2. Gordie Howe
3. Wayne Gretzky
It was widely reported all weekend when 99 took a leave of absence from his coaching duties with Phoenix to attend to his mother. I had no idea, the situation was as grave. Mrs. Gretzky died today from lung cancer. Love or hate Gretzky, the pain of losing a parent, can only be matched by losing a child. The thoughts and prayers of the entire hockey world will be with the Gretzkys this holiday season.

Milan Lucic's Happy Homecoming
Opinions on Milan Lucic's 2023-24 return to the Boston Bruins and other trades.
That list reminds me of Ordway on WEEI during Ray Bourque’s parade here after winning the Stanley Cup in a place that wasn’t here:
“We have the greatest defenseman in the history of the NHL here today”
“What? Bobby Orr showed up?”
That’s hilarious! I remember that too.
