Gretz needs to switch to Touch of Grey so he doesn’t look so dyed.
Today I realized how old I am after seeing how old Wayne Gretzky is.
The Great One!
[deleted]
The Great One’s hair is looking natural af.
They couldn’t give Barkley a mask? Not even one of those oldschool Jason masks?
Chuck’s a good dude.
Gretzky’s hair coloring is… Unsettling.
He’s turrible…
I think we can all agree that what this segment really needed was Shaq falling into a Christmas tree.
Chuck look like he loss some weight
Always liked these segments where athletes who were elite in their respective sport try out a different sport and look like a deer in the headlights.
Please tell me those were not real pucks. Hard pass if they were
I feel like Barkley must have played golf with Tiger Woods too, so they’re selling short his resume of playing sports against their GOATs.
Ok, so I’m going to probably sound like an absolute idiot, but I’ve watched a lot of Gretzky hockey, I was born in 88 and starting playing when I was 8 years old… so mostly kings and rangers. I’ve literally been into this sport for almost 30 years including me just watching when I was about 4-5 years old. I’m so ashamed to say this, but I was absolutely fucking blown away that Gretzky is a lefty!!! I guess I just never payed attention, but I caught myself being literally dumbfounded that I just noticed this. He’s a pretty cool guy!
Is Barkley a big hockey fan or something? I saw him advertised and was like, “TF is Charles Barkley doing on NHL?”
Where’s Kenny Powers?
They put him in there without pads… that would hurt so bad to block that.
Nines was a leftie? How did I not know that.
Wheel snipe cellular
Wow that old dude is pretty good
Gretzky might me the only true greatest ever. If he scored zero goals he’d still have the most points all time just with assists.
Not that I’m a hockey fan, but is there a comparable player to Gretzky in other sports?
From what I’ve read, Gretzky was just soooo dominant in hockey and holds impossible records to beat.
Don’t nickel and dime the great one.
Just like that time [Ricky played goal against Forsberg.](https://youtu.be/NTvHrx5m4Ns?t=3)
“Gretzky wasn’t a defender. He’s the Charles Barkley of hockey.”
I love how Chuck pokes fun at himself.
I remember when he was a rookie. Wow, I’m an old bastard.
Didn’t recognise Gretzky. Thought this was an old video and that was his dad Walter. Wow, the Great One got old. I guess I’m fighting reality. I remember his mullet and Oilers uniform on posters everywhere when I was a kid. True legend.
Any mention of Pekks gets me emotional. Miss you 35
I wish people understood and appreciated how dominant and amazing Gretzky was. He makes Jordan look pretty pedestrian by comparison, imo. Gretzky had a truly astounding career.
This will probably get buried but here goes.
Fun personal story: At one point in the 90s Gretzky lived next door to my rich cousin in Bel Air. I was born in 86 and started playing hockey when I was 5. Went over to my cousins house for Thanksgiving one year and Gretzky was standing in his driveway. I was wearing a Kings shirt and was so dumbfounded I thought he was a ghost. Probably still spellbound, I went over to him and told him how cool I thought he was and he kneeled down to my level and had a full on conversation with me. Can’t remember a lot of it but he asked me my age and if I played. I told him I played roller because “mom said ice hockey is expensive.” It was Southern California so it was the truth. He gave me a high five and told me not to forget to take my shots (I know, I know, but this was about hockey and not an aphorism) and listen to my mom. Didn’t know it at the time but I probably peaked at that moment.
TL;DR – Wayne is a class act and is a *very* cool guy.
Five hole the size of a whole person
Huge football fan, part-time basketball fan, have wanted to get into hockey but haven’t dedicated the time yet. I understand why Gretzky is considered the GOAT, and I understand the points/assists thing, but as a non-hockey watcher can someone explain just why he was so good? Genuinely curious. For example, Brady is the football GOAT but not because of athletic ability, but because of dedication, accuracy and the cold-blooded mentality. What were Gretzky’s traits?
Gretzky has aged into the butler of a British supervillain who also happened to be in the Special Forces for twenty years
One of the most incredible stats in all of sports is that Gretzky has the most points of all time by such a wide margin that even if he had never scored a single goal in his career, he would still have the most points of all time.
The sadist in me wanted to see Wayne just tee one up and see what happens.
>”Does these count towards your record?”
>”Yea, I’ll count them.”
Ovi fuming rn
You know those threads where people (like me) go on about how great athletes are great regardless of sport? Like Tom Brady being a great golfer or basketball player, or Lebron a quarterback.
This is not one of those times.
