I consider myself EXTREMELY fortunate to have been able to watch Gretzky, Lemiuex, and Orr play the game. They were a joy to watch even though I never cheered for any of their teams.

As for Gordie Howe, there was a time when I wondered when he would actually stop playing. I was again fortunate to be able to watch him play in the latter half of his career.

There have been other's who I also loved to watch play. Bobby Hull for one. I still remember that booming slap shot of his coming off the left wing. I was also fortunate enough to meet him a few times as a youngster (He grew up in the same area that I did and he used to spend his summers there and I was fortunate enough that my best friend's uncle managed Bobby's cattle farm).

There have been so many great players over the years... but none so great as WG.

Nah. Crosby is better.
