Very sad news. Wish I had been born early enough to watch his glory years live.

Rest in Peace Mr. Hockey

Top 5 in scoring for 20 straight seasons. Damn. Played in the NHL at age 52. 1767 regular season games played.

Incredible hockey player and fantastic human being. RIP, Gordie.

Suffered a fractured skull and critical brain injuries in 1950, recovered, went on to play 28 more years. One of the toughest and greatest athletes in Canadian history.

Hearing this is not the way I wanted to start the day.

Never got to see Gordie play, but always respected the legend.

Great Mike Rogers Whalers' story of Howe cutting Hull, Hedberg AND Nilsson on same shift. "I like Bobby. I only cut him a little bit."
