He just said his kid likes him and he was happy to meet him pre game. He said ovechkin is good for the game too. That’s it.

Any time he’s on TV Gretzky comes off as the least charismatic, least excited person on the planet.

If we bicker amongst ourselves the Pens win.

I thought that was great…pretty cool he surprised our crew. Hockey has so many good guys.

Also a couple kinda awkward ‘he’s great for Russia’ comments tossed in there.

Wayne appreciates hockey and knows how this goal chase is great for the sport. And of all people he knows records are made to be broken.

Wayne slipping he’s a terrorist Putin lover like Ovechkin.

He did the same on the TSN broadcast. I thought Gord Miller was going to have to walk away because he had something good to say about someone born in Russia

I asked my 7 year old daughter if she’s heard the name Wayne Gretzky and she said the boys in her class talk about him all the time but she didn’t know who he was

Ah, my Caps announcers. They do a great job. Now I’m rooting for the Coyotes to come into their own. 🙂

Most on the NA people are living in their own bubble and thats fine by me… Makes them look like idiots in Europe but Europe isn’t everything.

Hey it’s Tony Hawk. Good on Wayne for this. A lot of other icons in other sports would rather tear down to protect their achievements instead of build up to further the sport.

Well, seriously what else is he going to do? If Gretzky wants to stay relevant, he’s not going to bash the guy who might break his record. I personally can’t stand grape ape, but I think Wayne is doing the right thing.

Greztky loves the game. He was talking on the leafs broadcast last night. Said he was embarassed as he closed in on gordie. Walter told him gordie is being a true gentleman and so will you someday when a player beats your record.
