Charlie, my friend, Gordie Howe was a man who knew ALL sides of hockey. Yes, he knew how to fight, take good penalties, and stand up for himself and his team. But he also knew how to score goals and to help his teammates score goals. His history of delivering infamous elbows to many an unsuspecting rookie has been matched, over the years, only by one Justin Trudeau, who, by some freak of nature, happens to be our sitting prime minister. He never ever was, however, a Billy Smith or Ron Hextall stick-swinging lumberjack. Gordie had, and played the game with, much, much, much more class than that. And it's too damn bad that more of today's players have absolutely no idea what-so-ever of how to do that. God Bless you, Gordie, and thanks for leaving us with the legacy of how to play the game.
Thank you. Gordie really was the greatest of them all. Google that and hear a nice song about Howe,Lindsay and Abel. RIP Mr Hockey.
