Back in 1983, I was enjoying the Stanley Cup successes of the NY Islanders. I was a fan of Mike Bossy and hated Wayne Gretzky with a passion. Of course, several years later I would grow to respect Gretzky as an accomplished hockey great.
Thanks for the upload. The crazy thing about these kinds of games is that you can tell the Oilers weren't even trying on some of the goals. Clearly, Wayne Gretzky could have scored more than 87 goals in 74 games if he had wanted to... Re: the 'Mickey Mouse' comment -- it's the one obvious P.R. gaffe of Gretzky's career, but he actually said it not in mockery but rather in sympathy for his ex-teammate Ron Lowe, who was in net for the Devils and who got embarrassed.
Thumbs up if Sam Gagner Brought You Here
