How can you say he is not a dirty player when he crossed checked Zetterburg three times in the BACK after the game was over and one time in the chest before Howard got into the altercation. If you seen the game you would know this but if you watched the replays they cut that part off. Being an Oilers fan I would think you would know what a class act would be. Wayne Gretzky respected other players and the game of hockey. He made the sport better and kids looked up to him. Watch the Penguins game real close and you can see there isn't the closeness on the team that you see on other teams. I took my son to see Gordy Howe and he signed a puck for him and then played keepaway from him with it. The smile on Gordy's face and my sons said it all. The players now want big money and more to sign something for you and they have no time for the kids. Maybe you don't see the change as much as I do because I was a Redwings fan before you were a twinkle in your dad's eye.
