Grew Up in Detroit with a Canadian Father ..... Wore a small #9 on Every sweater I ever played in ....... He was My IDOL ..... other than My Father !!!!! 🇺🇸💫🇨🇦💫 🏒 ✨# 9 ✨🏒
For me, Gordie will always be the greatest of all time. Only got to see him play near the end, but that is enough for me. He IS a legend. He IS Mr. Hockey.
37:08 "Gordie was a very naive young man... and he has to live with that the rest of his life." 38:17 Howe finds out little he was paid. 42:34 Hull's speech, "And enjoyed every high-sticking minute of it." 53:52 Gretzky breaking Howe's record.
Geordie, a beautiful man but you didn’t do him wrong. At Olympia one night, I left a minute before the end of the game. I wanted to stand in line to see the players as they came off the ice. A kid decided he was going to pull Geordie’s stick out of his hand as Gordie walked by. So, Gordie walked by and I saw the kid reach down to steal Geordie’s stick. One flick of his stick and the young kid got a couple of stitches up near his eyes.
Gordie Howe is legendary, trying to watch a documentary about him with this many advertisements is almost impossible. When I get junk-mail I throw it out. When I see advertisements, I go to piss hoping that by the time I get back it will be over. I have never purchased anything because some advert told me to.
A little correction here ...... The Rocket was Babe Ruth ... more dramtic ... like 6 overtime goals Gordie was Joe Dimagio ...Much more talented in all aspects of the game ( never scored >ONE< O/ time goal ) Hull was Mickey Mantle .... Gretzky might be Ted Williams
Gordie was a cheap shot artist who screwed his own teammates by screwing up the union formation.Yeah he was 6 3 when most players were 5 9. Big deal.Rocket Richard was not stopable from the blue line in scored 50 goals in one season and 5 goals in 1 game,something Gordo never did.And the Rocket WON STANLEY CUPS!!!!
He wasn’t 6’3”, nice try, can’t use the internet? Even the Rocket was bright enough to respect Mr. Hockey, junior. Cheap shot artist…obviously you don’t get how the game works. Gordie could back it up, too. Howe old are you, do some real homework before you keep embarrassing yourself. 💤
This is good , but a correction is required .'The closing of the Montreal Forum produced the Greatest , Longest applause in NHL history , when the ovation for The Rocket was stopped by force . Had they not forced the ending of The Rockets ovation , thy might still be cheering . Gordie was in Montreal remember , and no ovation in Montreal for Gordie was ever going to outlast the ovation for Maurice Richard . That Gordies applause was going to be longer than any ovation for The Rocket is incorrect . ... with all due respect to Gordie .
The nostalgia from the commercials and ESPN scheduling is overwhelming. Thanks for posting. LGRW!!

Gordie Howe will never be forgotten
For me, Gordie will always be the greatest of all time. Only got to see him play near the end, but that is enough for me. He IS a legend. He IS Mr. Hockey.
These commercials are really bringing me back into the past.
This is one of the best hidden gems on Gordie.
I thought we were poor ,14 of us . Respect to Gordie ,he was an Iron man.
Saw him play a 100 times at olympia, even the good wouldn't mess with gordie, the GOAT
Both Gordie Howe and Rocket Richard are icons in the world of hockey!
Gordie, superman...
As rough as he was on ice,he was very humble content off the ice,just happy to be where he was.
🌟 G.O.A.T.!!! 🌟
yes! most complete to ever hit the ice
Amazing documentary. Glad I looked it up.
Love this.
Being poor makes one appreciate what one has and it keeps one hungry ,by that I do not mean hungry for food.
the man took zero prisoners.

I once got into a pretty heated argument with Gordie. Imagine your hero telling you that you were "full of sh--." I still treasure the memory.
They should retire #9 across the league in honor of Howe, Richard, and Hull.
For sure.9 9 9

Polite players won't mention his Colonel Parker type of handler that dragged him out to these embarrassing public stunts.
Americans!!?!?... ledgends of hockey does it way more Canadian. Watch this for content. Watch the Canadian version for the true vibe🍁🍁🍁
for under payment Tommy Bradley wins super bowls but only made NFL too make less for a ring.
