@@jacquessowhat3680 it's not. He's done multiple good interviews with stars across varied sports. He seems a bit more nervous than usual here (possibly star struck? Despite interviewing a pretty A-list group previously).
Absolutely incorrect. He’d get the same amount of energy from a snickers as he would two apples. If the cals are the same the nrg is the same. All this new stuff is just for sales. It’s all bullshit. Only thing that makes someone fat or lean is whether or not they eat excess calories or not. The food makes no difference if calories are the same.
Imagine how much better he would’ve been with today’s modern nutrition and training. He’s already the goat but how much better would he have been. Most modern players don’t hold a candle to him.
I'm the same exact way. I am continuously eating through the day to keep my energy going. And when I played hockey I always had a tone of coffee beans and candy to keep me going. My metabolism was crazy when I was a kid and still is at 41
Don't do it diet soda diet anything with artificial sugar is terrible for you it causes type 2 diabetes. You have a 20% increase chance consuming artificial sweeteners,which is what is in diet sodas
@Get em out of here no I say it's smart because back in the day like he said they didn't have powerade. It's a fact that those foods give you quick immediate energy
I remember listening to Mike Tyson who said his pre-fight meal. he would have one or two Hershey's chocolate bars and he would drink a big glass of orange juice because he wasn't used to eating like that. that sugar rush would give him massive energy
Before Bossy got his 50 in 50 he wrote about sitting in the bathroom stall chain smoking.....Messier probably smoking crack.....my friend pointed out Hawerchuk at a bar drinking and smoking I guess that's nothing sorry
Wayne Gretzky's not that much older than I am only a couple of years so I don't understand how he didn't have Gatorade We would have Gatorade and orange slices before during and after the game
Hockey culture, perhaps. Wayne went straight from high school to the pros (1978), and players back then ate Kraft Dinner, McDonalds, A&W, etc., as their pre-game meal. That was a carryover from their junior hockey days.
How many hot dogs do you guys have before games?
A minimum of 6
99 in honor of Wayne
@@23Raymond respect ✊
4 easy
6
Somewhere Phil Kessel is smiling
1000 consecutive games.
Make all the jokes about his physique, but dudes record of consecutive games will never be surpassed.

You miss 100% of the hot dogs you don't eat. - Kessel
😂
Gretzky so good he’s thinking about food on the ice.
He was always steps, and meals, ahead😂
Gretzky sitting there saying “ hurry up and finish your mumbling stuttered question”
Thank you for posting this I cannot listen to this kid mumble and stutter for one second more.
I’m guessing that’s his schtick.

I doubt that bud
So many players would have a smoke with a coffee between periods back then too
Crap I remember and this ain't no lie... Guy Lafleur on the bench between shifts puffing on an Export A.
Messier was smoking half a pack in the finals
You mean a smoke with a beer.
Insane hearing this from Gretzky. That diet would not pass during this time.
Ovechkin and Kessel would beg to differ 😂
Bro some NBA players still eat like shit and are sprinting 40 min a game and jumping 40" to dunk lol
It well and truly passes during this time.
@@nadnerb_sr20 i feel like you have to be that naturally good to just depend on it sometimes
@@emekaasiegbu3697 basketball players can o ly play 50 minutes because the sport is far less physically demanding
Wayne is such a pleasant person.
Yea i agree, he seems like a really nice guy.
Like Bobby Orr.
Wonder if everyone else stopped smoking in the dressing room so Gretzky could eat
It wasn't smoking and it wasn't eating. They used to line up 3 men to a stall lol
When he said a Snickers I pictured Betty White in gear slapping a goal from 30 feet out that knocks off the goalies mask
Wayne’s honesty is refreshing
Why wouldn’t he be honest that he’d eat a hot dog or a snickers bar? That’s what was available
You’re the greatest, Wayne
Next game I'm trying a hotdog & diet coke
Legends are built different
Dude if your athlete that burns probably 3000 calories just during the game.you can eat what ever you want.
the legendary man still is
*Well you gotta have something to work off with all his energy!!!* 😉
"You miss 100% of the shots you never take." -Wayne Gretzky 😁
He said it came from Walter
It was actually John Wilkes Booth who said that.
The myth really fades once you hear these guys talk about what it was like back then.
Interviewer grinning like he just won 10 mil.
Each person is unique…..and each athlete….

The kessel diet
Hot dogs worked for Babe Ruth too. He did alright.
I wouldn’t question the GOAT
Reminds me of Ovechkin’s pre-game meal, two bowls of pasta with the garlic bread.
Legends never dies ! We didn't ask to me a star
Coke missed out on about 2bills 😂
The legend stays a legend no power bars for him
The Goku of Hockey
Come on now …Gatorade has been around since 1965 ! Wayne should be hired to sell Snickers bars $$$
Quebec nordiques. Man the good old days
Would you say the snickers 'satisfied'
Good to see Jim Carreys stunt double getting work as an interviewer
Imagine how much better he would’ve been with today’s modern nutrition and training. He’s already the goat but how much better would he have been. Most modern players don’t hold a candle to him.
Makes sense he’s eating that stuff cause those foods are fast digesting. He was carb loading
That's not how you carb load lol
Coke should give him 10 million for that comment😃
The amount of calories Mr Gretzky was burning during a game had to be enormous... Michael Phelps took it to a whole nother level...
It’s sad when an athlete speaks clearer than an interviewer.
I'm the same exact way. I am continuously eating through the day to keep my energy going. And when I played hockey I always had a tone of coffee beans and candy to keep me going. My metabolism was crazy when I was a kid and still is at 41
That’s it I’m drinking diet coke, this is like the 50th person I’ve heard talk about it
Don't do it diet soda diet anything with artificial sugar is terrible for you it causes type 2 diabetes. You have a 20% increase chance consuming artificial sweeteners,which is what is in diet sodas
Gatorade was very much around during his career, but coke will make you forget..
I love grezky
That's pretty smart though. Quick energy foods and he burned it off immediately. Just like the flash
@Get em out of here no I say it's smart because back in the day like he said they didn't have powerade. It's a fact that those foods give you quick immediate energy
The Great One could eat WTF he wanted !
I remember listening to Mike Tyson who said his pre-fight meal. he would have one or two Hershey's chocolate bars and he would drink a big glass of orange juice because he wasn't used to eating like that. that sugar rush would give him massive energy
Wow, consuming carbohydrates to have energy for a game. This is earth shattering, no one in the history of mankind ever ate carbs to increase energy.
You should see a hockey player eat after a game.
5 hrs later I would be hungry too. Eat small meals every 2 to 3 hrs.
4 hot dogs, DC and Snickers every meal.... Got it
I quite often would have a hotdog after the period. Dad would look at me and just know I was hungry. No diet drinks for me!
Note to interviewers. Phase your questions better and know when to stop so that your guest who wants to respond can start.
Truth
The interviewer's 'phrasing' could be improved as well.
Mr Gretzky could eat whatever he wants. Hail The Great One.
Dude killed BigMacs too! Hell ya!!!
Used to ride bikes with an ultra marathon racer (look up RAAM: Race Across America) He drank CountryTime Lemonade, and Coke in emergencies 😂😂
Sorry Charlie - Gatorade was invented in 1965
Hot Dogs. Wasn’t just Kessels secret power food after all…
Options are getting better for each generation. This is a true example. Could past athletes compete today? YES!! Probably even better
Yo! Spit it out guy! Jesus
The Great one 💪
He ate that because he was drinking. This dude drinks like a fish at the golf club
Mustard and onions is definitely the way to go...
That guy has some interesting hair
I always considered him The Pretty Good One. Mario Lemieux is truly The Great One.
Nope
The Great One shares my nectar of the gods (Diet Coke) I can die in peace
Lafleur smoked 3 cigs in the dressing room
Babe Ruth of hockey
To be fair sugar is energy technically, its only a problem if you don't spend that energy after eating it
Wayne Fartzky
Wayne could pass for Steve Spurrier’s brother imo lol
My bro was a top athlete and he always ate spaghetti noodles and a glass of milk before his games! I always had to puke before my games!
Before Bossy got his 50 in 50 he wrote about sitting in the bathroom stall chain smoking.....Messier probably smoking crack.....my friend pointed out Hawerchuk at a bar drinking and smoking I guess that's nothing sorry
Babe Ruth ate hotdogs as a staple food
caffiene and carbs. the goat
😂it worked🔥🇨🇦
Goats eat everything 🇨🇦😄
hockey players are nutritional scientists, doctors, models now? Jesus!? Christ!?
He ha close 3000 points. It wasn’t his diet. I’m going to switch to that diet for Beer League
894
It shows how clean his system is that he could actually get a buzz off of a Diet Coke..haha lol
The Great 1
Beauty
Ovie wouldn't be no where his goal record if not how the game changed...aka 2 line pass
Um ok, bs. He definitely had gatorade available
sounds like a kid. just a normal kid... but the God of hockey haha
I mean I know hes the great one but......the guy is literally asking him...."hey....do you eat food??"
Snickers I think is only 300 calories
Wayne Gretzky are you related to master Bruce
Diet coke = Goat juice.
This host needs to learn when to shut up and let the person speak. He understood your question within 10 seconds. Let him answer.
Good old days I’ll have a medium well steak with a side of cigarettes
It was about heart back then not diet
Wayne Gretzky's not that much older than I am only a couple of years so I don't understand how he didn't have Gatorade
We would have Gatorade and orange slices before during and after the game
Hockey culture, perhaps. Wayne went straight from high school to the pros (1978), and players back then ate Kraft Dinner, McDonalds, A&W, etc., as their pre-game meal. That was a carryover from their junior hockey days.
The hot dogs and beer are now catching up with Wayne
He's almost 62 what the hell are you talking aboot?
Cool
Maybe nhlers today should eat more chocolate 🤷♀️
This is called being normal.
So you’re saying I’m on the right track?
So 1000 more points if he was trying harder
THis interviewer is weird.
