I hear ya. As Pix pointed out well in her earlier post, this is a result of a slew of health issues apparently. It sucks. Getting old sucks. Gordie rules.

I took out my grief at this news by negging dash. It helped. Not much but it did. :pout:

I'm staying positive - this is Gordie Howe we are talking about!!

If anyone can figure out how to still be productive for another 5-6 years after people had written him off.. it's him!

Maybe the greatest run ever... I can't wait to see how S(top)Harper tries to turn this to his political advantage.

We should put Gordie Howe on our Canadian currency - Put him on the $20 bill opposite the Queen.

Not good. That's exactly how my grandmother went. Hospitalized after a stroke at home, died of a massive stroke suffered while in the hospital.

I hate to say it, but at this point you kinda just have to hope that he's not in any physical pain.

Amen to that.

Might be time for "The Great Gordie" to just let go. :(

Let go, Gordie. You've fought your fights, scored your goals, made your mark. Rest easy now, bud.

It sounds to me like God needs a right wing and Gordie is his at the top of His draft board.

They should name the new arena after Gordie.

20+ years ago that would have been a no-brainer but nowadays they always sell the naming rights and it changes every 5 years or so. I'd settle for something like "The ______ Gordie Howe Arena" or whatever. That way they still get to attach their name and get credit for showing some class to a legend.
