RIP Mr. Hockey

[Gern Blansten]

Gordie Howe passed today at the age of 88.

Quite a mark he left on the game of hockey.

Fair winds!

Mr. hockey introduced the world to the Sharks jersey when the team debuted the design for the first time.

RIP, loved the Gordie Howe hat trick....goal, assist and a fight. His first one was 1953 I think. Just an all round classic guy.

Rest in peace.

I hate to say this, but I was a fan when Howe played for the Red Wings. I lived close enough to get Hockey Night in Canada. So, I got to see him more often than most Americans did. He's was what a first line R.W. was supposed to be. The G. H. hat trick has been around for a long time, but the guy it wrong. It's a goal, an assist and five min. for fighting. Two, just won't do.
RIP, Mr. Howe

BTW, Howe only scored the Hat Trick named after him twice.
