R.I.P. Mr. Hockey

One of the less surprising passings of 2016, but still a sad day.

Howe was one of the greats, if not the greatest hockey players of all time, depending on who you ask.

Sad day for all hockey fans. RIP.

Seems like only yesterday he was lacing up the skates to play in an IHL game so he could claim playing professionally in 6 different decades. But I suppose that was over 10 years ago now, especially since the IHL has been dead for at least a decade. That's what you call devotion to the game.

Or because this is the entertainment board? You know there is an actual HOCKEY section where it is being discussed in great length?

What a great player he was. Failing health, so maybe this was a blessing in disguise.

Yea, nobody visits the boxing forum so it wouldn't have made sense to put it there for ALI.

And I have absolutely zero hate for the Wings so you need to relax a bit with your crazy theories.

edit - just saw your occupation in your profile..makes more sense now.

I don't visit any of the hockey sections here anymore, and being a prominent sports figure and celebrity, this belongs on the entertainment board as much as anywhere else. Go talk about it on your hockey board and leave us alone if it bothers you so much.

Stop bickering.

Take this to one the hockey forum threads.
