I was lucky enough to speak at great length with Gordie Howe about his time in the WHA and his subsequent return to the National Hockey League with the Whalers.
Out of respect to Mr. Howe, and the off-the-record nature of the conversation I won't get into detail about what he had to say other than he was very much one of the people I spoke with when I say "to a man" they felt the league was obviously inferior.
True enough... And as "sacrilegious" as it may be... Ive little time for Gordie "eff'n"Howe or his "opinions" about much.... I found him (and yes, I met the guy) arrogant, self absorbed, narcissistic. What he pulled on Ted Lindsay = Despicable. Sacred Cow My Ass. Brain Damaged Idiot. I watched him, CLOSELY, his career as a player. In real time.... Jerk off. Vastly overrated but no nothing idiots who havent ever competed in any sport at an appreciable level elevating him to God like status. Gimme a break. You want guts, loyalty?. The Rocket. Gordie Howe underwhelming, disappointing. Ditto on his Sons who I played against. Talk about revisionism, fraud, hyperbole...
