as a die hard Flames fan of the 80's Gretzky was public enemy number 1, but there is no denying he is genuinely a class act.
I was born in 1974. 40 minutes from his home. So ya i was like 8 when Oilers were on top. Wayne was my idol then. Now as an adult of 50, i still have nothing but love in my heart for the amount of people he manages to inspire. He is all ❤. Thx Wayne 99 Gretzky.😊
I am and have always been a HUGE Islanders fan! I hated and still dislike the Oilers, especially Wayne Gretzky! But, as an adult, I have listened to Wayne and see that he is a truly humble person with good values and I really respect him!
to all Oilers fans from this Islander fan, you're welcome
Oiler fan here, watched the Islanders dominant the Oilers. What a team those Islanders were.
That was like 40 years ago! Get over it. Your team won lots of Stanley Cups. Try being a Leaf fan 😢
@@alanwallace5342 My whole point is that I got over it! 🤪
Not cool with his incessant promotion of online sports gambling, which only hurts people prone to such addictions and don't have his level of wealth. I would respect him much more if he did not do this. It's not like he needs that income.
Maybe not the greatest talent of all time (Lemieux, Orr) but he's the best player. No one represents or honours the game like he does.
back then hockey night in Canada used to replay the games at midnight on Saturday nights , we would be partying at someones house with the game playing and with any luck Edmonton would be playing , some of the plays Gretzky and team would make would stop the party just to watch the replay .... lol it was a amazing
Wayne nailed it. It the fun that is missing from the game today. I remember being disappointed when he didn't end up in Winnipeg back then. It was also very unfortunate that they toar the Jets apart as a condition to letting them into the NHL. I believe they were Avco Cup Champions 3 years in a row at the time.
Wayne is the product of his father as he mentions him a lot in interviews. This is what unselfish parents do. They dedicate their time and effort into their children. And when they do you get greatest in return!
Best player ever.. but an ever better person.
He does betting commercials and his son in law is a Saudi owned puppet.
Until he started schilling for the Online Sports Betting. Talk about trashing your own legacy. Despicable behaviour.
@@loudechant7034 And his son in law took the Saudi money to play for LIV golf.
Mah'hats off to you, Wayne Gretzkey! As a hockey player & as a man. Thank you for your positive influence in our world. ♡
I met Wayne’s dad once at the Peterborough memorial centre what a great guy very humble
Jordan said the same thing about the Detroit Pistons. If it wasn’t for them pushing the Bulls around and toughening them up they would not have won as many championships! Struggles breed resilience
I crossed paths with Walter Gretzky in the old London Gardens (Ontario) Walter was watching Keith Gretzky play ...Keith skates a lot like Wayne, I noticed ...Keith smooth skater ...Walter was about 10 rows to my left ...Walter easy to recognize 😅🏒
We played street hockey with junior A players when we were 11 years old....they had fun with us.....I am not surprised Wayne did the same
if you do what you love it never feels like work. Words of wisdom
Great interview; insightful and interesting.
great interview
Thanks to the great one for winning the cup in Edmonton. Its been a pleasure having the great one on my team.
they lost in 1983 to the greatest hockey team to ever be assembled no shame in that
3rd-5th best team you mean….
The 84-85 Oilers team was voted to be the greatest team of all time,my man.Greatest team ever🫡…
@@forfuxakes6814 yeah voted on by the bias canadien media. oilers were a one dimensional overrated team . not to mention sather is not in same universe as al arbor when it came to coaching
Real dynasties, like the Yankees and Canadians win 5 in a row.
@@bb-gc2txactually, the 82-83 Islanders were voted the 7the greatest team of all time lol. The vote had nothing to do with the media, was conducted by fans, 3.6 mil in total. They do have fans in New York right? 😂😂
@@getwrecked488 Mostly Ranger fans who hate the Islanders. Just an FYI, since you are not really clued in, or are pretending not to be to further your point. Have a nice day.
It was around 1998 or 99 in Buffalo after game down by the locker room watched esa tikkanen walk up to walter Gretzky wearing blue jeans running shoes and a Brantford minor hockey jacket .. walter took all the kids and parents to meet the players! My greatest hockey moment and such a proud moment to be Canadian!
What year is this interview from?
This interview is from YEARS ago, not two weeks?
When this is aired . The audience doesn’t know who this guy is!
Devils dandruff in Fuhrs pad!
our canucks lost it in 4 straight to the islanders as well 82
they should play this 10min clip every day in the Leafs dressing room...this is what a CHAMPION looks like , and what it takes to win.
and before every board meeting, if they care to hear it
It was actually the 1994 New York Rangers who caused the "keeper of the Cup" to be made into a full-time job, contrary to Wayne's story here.
Oh goodness no. The Oilers were taking the Cup to strip clubs - 99's story is a little bit sanitized for family viewing. Rumour around Edmonton is that the Cup even ended up on the stage. That's ultimately what prompted the NHL to step in.
nope, Oilers did, i was there
Half of that team was the Oilers
What a joke! That team was so fuckin stacked. They were insanely phenomenal with goal tending. My dog buddy could have coached that team and won!
The oilers didnt know what it took until they were swept by the islanders in 83.
Show this clip to Auston Matthew’s please
What’s that supposed to mean?? Auston is a very humble person who gives his all every time he’s on the ice. He experienced concussion symptoms and the medical team pulled him from the line-up. He came back and played too soon but gave it everything he had in game 7.
So glad he’s a Leaf!!
Damn that guy deserves towin a cup
Playoffs 2024 Too bad to see Gretzky at the Rangers games and ignore Alberta and the Oilers. I guess good old Wayne still chases the spotlight.
It took goalies with barely any pads to allow the puck to make it through.
Leach had Bobby clarke and scored 61. Image if Leach had Gretzky. Reggie and Gretzky would be competing for 100. In Flin Flon he had 87 With Clarke.
Is it harder to win The Stanley Cup in 1979 or 2024?
One extra series these days so harder to win today. Of course, in 79 you would be wearing less protective padding and facing brutal teams like the Flyers (also known as the Broad Street Bullies) and you would have the Canadiens Dynasty to go through so it’s a close call.
If you’re asking whether a team from 2024 would win in 79, then yes as the game has evolved for 45 years. Better training, diet, nutrition, sleep monitoring has made for better athletes plus modern equipment is light years ahead. In those days, goalies came out covered in bruises after a game.
Saudi Arabia
Without listening i can tell you who taught them what it took.. the new york islanders
Gretzky forgot to mention the enforcers who gave him more ice and confidence. Give credit where credit is due.
Well stated. Just like Brady's offensive line.
It's amazing how similar Gretzky and Tom Brady sound when they talk about their respective sports and careers. They both figured out the blueprint for greatness.
Too bad it's Joe Buck doing the interview, it feels like someone with a more than a cursory knowledge of hockey could have gotten more out of that interview. Interesting nonetheless though.
Stoooooleeen content
Gretzky wasn't so great when he didnt have a semenko or mcsorley on his line
Yeah sure, without those guys he would have only scored 70 goals a season, probably would've only won three Stanleys.
So staged, ruins it for me.
K how long is this guy going to milk the greatest hockey player of all time card?
Forever. Because he is
Joking drunk or ignorant about hockey?
Who you say the same about Muhammad Ali later in his life and it's debatable if he was even the greatest .
Joesnow9075 Gretzky had more assists than any one else had points. How has your hockey career been?
He still holds 60 NHL records…Don’t be a dick!
I lost some respect for 99 when he praised Ron MacLean as being in the same class as Bob Cole. Not even close. Not professionally and not morally. Shame on you Gretz.
Im sure your disapproval realy bothers hims
Gretzky deserved the Ross Trophy in 1979-80 because his point ratio (137/79) was higher than Marcel Dionne's (137/80) who garnered the Ross Trophy that year.🇨🇦🏒
I remember that race as a kid. We would sit in math class and the one kid always brought in a paper and wed look at the stats every day. It was unreal the scoring
I don’t think that’s fair because you don’t know for sure he would have scored in that missing game. He probably would’ve have but you can’t give trophies due to ‘probably.’
Also, what if Marcel Dionne had missed one game and it was a game that he didn’t get any points in anyway?
I personally think what they should do is get rid of a need for tiebreakers in that situation.
Some situations you need tie-breakers, like if two teams have the same number of points and are tied for the last playoff spot.
I just don’t think you need it for Art Ross. Why can’t they be co-winners?
Dionne won it because he had more goals. That is the tie-breaker.
Couldnt win squat without his allstar team
Name one player who won the Stanley cup playing 1 on 5. And most players who were prolific scores and produced so many points had 1 maybe 2 other great players as teammates Gretzky had 6 just off the top of my head
Took a VERY average LA team to the final. But yes, team sports require a great team to win championships not just one great player. I think Gretsky would be the FIRST to say that.
He made the players around him better. Ask any of them.
