Happy 85th Gordie Howe

If you can believe it, I have more memories of Gordie Howe through the eye of a camera lens than on video.

Gordie Howe will always be 'Forever Young'.

TiqIQ Ticket Preview: Blackhawks vs. Red Wings

By Eli Epstein, TiqIQ

For hockey fans, Original Six matchups are what the sport is built on. Even as it’s expanded to the far reaches of North America, hockey relies on these six teams to be the cornerstone of its history, intensity and vivacity. 

In the Midwest, Blackhawks-Red Wings battles are some of the NHL’s most anticipated and hard-fought. So far this season, the matchup has belonged to the Hawks, who’ve bested the Wings twice, each time by a margin of only one goal. The games have been low-scoring, feverishly-paced and decided in the final minutes of the effort. Both Blackhawks victories have come in overtime, with the latter win coming in the shootout.

Morning Line

Adrain Dater of the Denver Post passed out some NHL awards last night...

Schadenfreude award: If the Avs fall to a lottery team again, maybe they will drag the Detroit Red Wings down with them.

Entering Saturday, the Wings remained outside of the top eight teams in the playoff race, looking ordinary more nights than not lately. Misery loves company, especially when it wears a winged wheel.

Definition of Schadenfreude per Dictionary.com- satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

Gordie Stories

from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun at the National Post,

“Today,” said Dennis Hull, “a guy is 36 or 37 and they talk about the career winding down. Gordie played 15 more years after that. He was a once-in-a-lifetime guy. A beautiful skater, always in control of the puck, in position, tough, and what a wrist shot. He had it all.

“I played against him, of course, but one day in the summer, we were playing golf in Halifax. We were the first ones out, just after dawn, nice course, no practice balls, just get up and hit it. He shoots 68. And [former Major League manager] Lou Boudreau told me in Chicago he watched Gordie hit baseballs in Tiger Stadium and tried to sign him to a contract with the [Cleveland] Indians. “So I said: ‘Gordie, you’re the greatest hockey player of all time, you just shot 68 and you could have played major league baseball. It doesn’t seem fair.’ He said, ‘You should see me bowl.’”
