Gordie in one of the greatest of the Generational players.
Gordie, Sid the Kid, Howie Morenz, Maurice Richard, Bobby Orr, Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, and that is all.

But the moment that always stands out to me was a elderly Howe lifting a goon off of the ice by his nostrils to protect his son Mark.
