  • you can take the great one out of canada but you can't take canada out of the great one

  • at least he didnt take his talents to South Beach

  • Id cry too if I got traded to the kings.

  • @dergottogrondo you're retarded.

  • It was his wife's idea to go to LA she's American.

  • FIR

    E GREG MACTAVISH !

  • *sob* *sob* I really dont wanan leave Edmonton, Its so sad....but I will not take a reduction in pay! I must make millions!! (LOL)

  • @mase5701 ure a fuckin idiot its not his decision to be traded

  • wat idiot decided to trade gretsky??

  • why was he traded? just like that?

  • A trade like that is still unforgivable.

  • Every player would cry, if they´d get traded to Kings.

  • @TexaTK96 The kings are not bad 3rd over all right now in the western conference

  • nuff said.

  • real men cry and gretzky was more man than every other ever was, is and will be! he's the greatest legend in sports for every sportsman no matter which sports they're in! he's the best role model for every man who pursuits to be perfect, to be the best in whatever he does!

  • @dergottogondo Christ was no Gretzky, I'll tell you that much!

  • @chadassbadass fuck off god! if he exists he got no balls 'cause the devil fucks him! and if god got no balls how the hell should his fuckin son have balls? he's the same kind of pussy as his father is! i experience it every day in my fuckin life that god is a pure asshole! he kills people he tortures them regardless what they did! if he'd be one of us we should kick his ass out of this universe! the world would be better without GOD! Gretzky is the "Hockey-God"! he fucks god!!

  • @dergottogondo *yawwwwn*

  • It's mind boggling to imagine what could have been if he stayed in Edmonton. Greatest player in the entire world to ever lace up the skates.

  • I remember it like it was yesterday. The Edmonton Sun ran the headline "99 Tears". It was obvious to me then at the tender age of 18 that hockey was only about money. You simply don't trade the player that so many people believe is the best who ever lived. I think I've watched about a half a dozen games since then.

  • @bigalz420...I don't think you know anything about hockey. All he did was earn every offensive world record and completely redefine the game of hockey. There is no athlete alive you can effectively compare Gretsky to, he is/was/and will always be the man. Ask anyone who actually plays hockey what they thought of him and you'll get respect...maybe bitterness, but always respect. Dude is beyond legend.

  • Hello from Argentina, I really love Wayne´s as Player and as a Simbol, And i ask just one question, this guy have to quit his team to give a better life to his family, But in this sportworl today i mean, in ANY sport, do you know anyone who his sncere as Wayne, Showing reall pain and break himself cause he has to renounce to his true love????his tru team?? his true Heart??, He is an example, he allways been, and he allways was, Long Live the King ( not LA, lol) Long Live 99

  • One of Edmonton's saddest day

  • wayne gretzky is a pussy fayggot, cryin on tv, fuck him, all he did was cherry pick in front of the net, no defense, no real heart for the game except scoring goals

  • @bigalz420 and what have you done with your life fag?

  • @MarchoZarin I FUCKED YOUR MOTHER AND CREATED YOU, WISH I WOULDA SPRUNG FOR THE ABORTION

  • @bigalz420 Fuck you man! Gretzky is a legend. He is a hockey hero. And if he can cry on national TV and show his true feelings... that takes balls. No heart for the game except scoring goals?? What did you just see?

  • Wayne Gretzky really didn't know the true meaning of love until he came to Los Angeles! True, he won all of his Stanley Cups with Edmonton. But Wayne Gretzky was not loved any more anywhere else than he was during the 8 years he has played in Los Angeles.

    Unlike assholes like LeBron who ditched his hometown Cleveland on a whim without sort of feelings. Gretzky was straight up when crying about leaving a city, and a team who has been more of a Family to him.

  • You watch this, then you watch Lebron's The Decision and you release why the NBA is a fucking joke sport full of fucking losers.

  • Promised Mess I wouldn't do this...

  • That's a sick ring Wayne is rocking!

  • his wasen an bytch move like lebrons

  • Just saw King's Ransom on espn. Peter Pock is a dirty CUNT!

  • @oopopp Peter Pocklington is a fucking joke! The only reason why the Oliers won the Stanley Cup in 1990 was solely to satisfy the egos of Pocklington and Mark Messier who wanted to prove to the world that they could still win a Stanley Cup without Wayne Gretzky!

  • @LLB9977 They'd have won those years in between had Pocklington not traded 99.

  • i love wayne gretzky. such an incredible athlete and guy.

  • Wow. 23 years ago today.

  • Traded 23 years ago today.

  • @Elmaln, you missed the point. He had all that time to prepare himself emotionally.

  • best thing gretzky ever had was his flow

  • That's devotion.

  • Wayne in edmonton = 4 Stanley cups

    Wayne in LA = 0 Styanley cups

    This is what happens when you remove soul from the body

  • @nextcasa now ryan smyth has his soal back.....

  • @nextcasa That's what happens when you don't play with Mark Mesier.

  • just crying like me

  • this is quite sad, aye ! I'm gonna get some maple syrup and ride a moose to get rid of the hurt !... aye!

  • @dudewat212 its eh, not aye, aye is for pirates, eh is for canadians. and its not so much moose, its elk and caribou .

  • this is quite sad, aye ! I'm gonna get some maple syrup and ride a moose to get rid of the hurt !

  • I used to think he said: "I promised Vanessa I wouldn't do this." I'm really hard of hearing at 22!

  • i was 6 when i watched this interview..... the only thing i remember about it was that i cried, long and hard during it. Gretzky was the greatest player to ever play, and he truly loved the oilers.

  • one of the most epic moments in NHL history

  • Who is he referring to when he says "I promised Miss(?) I wouldnt do this?" @ 1:10

  • @elitepilot09

    Not Miss- Mess. As in Mark Messier.

  • @ritter1808

    Ah right! Thanks buddy :)

  • Wow amazing

  • I remember this interview like it happened yesterday. I cried then and it still brings tears to my eyes now.

    I met Wayne Gretzky a few times when I lived in Edmonton and he truly is a wonderful person and is a hockey legend!!

  • I cried when I watched this on tv in 1988 and I still cry when i watch it now. Thank you Wayne for all you have done for Canada and hockey.

  • haha all the ex oilers go to the kings.

  • @2pacalypse25 Nah rangers. I'm a ranger fan and every one on the 94' cup winning team played with Messier on that oilers dynasty.

  • the person that disliked this video should be shot and hung 

  • @ianfro If you're going to use insults, you've already lost me as a reader to your replies, therefore, do not reply to me again. Thanks.

  • true canadian

  • Here's the behind the scenes scoop, Gretzky knew about the possibility of a trade a year before. If you read Brian MacFarlane's book, you'll see where Gretzky mentions it. For him to act surprised here is a joke and a lie.

  • @abc1000001 you're an idiot if you don't think it hurt him to leave edmonton. his true emotions came out during the press conference that you can't just act out.

  • @abc1000001 er, he doesn't look surprised, just saddened by the fact that he's leaving the team and city that he's been playing at for so long. Even if you plan to move say houses to another city, you are bound to feel sad about leaving people and a city you loved behind.

  • when was this interview? Was LA better than his previous club?

  • @ps07857 what?! no no no..he left the best team in the game to play for LA..the oilers had won 4 championships in 5 years and the team was full of hall of famers like mark M, paul coffey and kurri. they won one without gretzky after he left even. it was the best team in the game he left...i guess his wife didnt like canada..she wanted back to the states and the nice guy that wayne is accepted that.

  • Thumbs up for FUCK POCKLINGTON

  • this season, i'll be bringing my talents to south beach to play for miami

  • At least Wayne Gretzkt never gave the impression he was trying to be like or better than someone else. LeBron James wants to be like Michael Jordan, and doesn't understand why the world doesn't embrace him like Mike.

  • fuckin NBA pieces of shit not giving 2 fucks about trades or anything like that this just goes to prove that hockey players are just straight up better people than fucking over payed basketball players

  • @MrRoflcopter00005 Yeah Eric Lindros who refused to play for the quebec nordiques who drafted him #1 overall was pure class...This guy was a self entitled brat when he was 15 playing for the oshawa generals..he even snubbed the OHL team that drafted him #1 overall ...imagine if Lebron james who was drafted #1 overall by Cleveland said sorry..im not playing for the Cavs............when NBA or even NFL players get drafted they are so grateful..NHL players act like spoiled little brats

  • @tonysacco79 I agree that Lindros acted like a little bitch about getting drafted by the Nords but generally that attitude isn't that common among NHL players IMO... I actually think it exists more among NBA players. Generally they seem to not like the prospect of playing in places like Toronto (and formerly Vancouver) because it's not a place where they have the spotlight. I remember when Steve Francis was drafted by the Vancouver Grizzles he trashed the city and refused to play there

  • @lovelylass13 i disagree...it happens just as much in the NHL...most recently with Dany Heatley who demanded Ottawa trade him to one of the few teams on his wish list. NHL has plenty of spoiled brats....another example is Chris Pronger demanding a trade out of Edmonton....How about Partick Roy skating to the bench during a game and telling the General manager sitting behind the bench he's played his last game for montreal lol Jagr always just bounces around looking for a paycheck ONLY

  • @MrRoflcopter00005 Have you ever heard of a no trade clause? What makes you believe that NBA players don't care about staying put you fucking idiot. Also what make someone a better person for not wanting to be traded? Please explain with your irrational reasoning.

  • @MrRoflcopter00005 So NHL; players are better people because thois faggot is crying his eyes out? Give me a fucking break. NHL players have fist fights every fucking game. They're complete scumbags. Fuck the NHL

  • @MrRoflcopter00005 Basketball players and hockey players are just people but very good at sports. The end. I mean there sure have been basketball players who has shown emotions when they are trade to another team.

    Basketball player or hockey player, Docent matter.

  • Thumbs up if u agree that somebody should show this to Lebron

  • Wayne was traded..and never won another Stanley Cup...however, the Edmonton Oilers did go on to win another Cup without him.

  • @ECWnWWF That's right.....do you also recalled 1993 playoffs called game 7 best NHL of his career? Of course, it was his last trip to Stanley Cup final and loss to Montreal Canadiens lol. Mind you he got a help from greaseball Kerry Fraser in game 7 against the Leafs.

  • This was one of the greatest moments of my LA Kings loving life.

  • IM NOT ONE TO FLOG A DEAD HORSE, BUT WAYNE WOULD BE THE ONE MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRADE. ALBEIT, HE WASN'T EVEN THE HIGHEST PAID PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE AT THE TIME. HE HAD BEEN LIVING IN LA THE PREVOIUS THREE SUMMERS, DATING WIFE TO BE AND ACTRESS JANET JONES AND COULDN'T STAND POCKLINGTON AT THE TIME.

  • @znogypogy So, go figure its Pocklington's fault for driving him out.

  • The team had at least 5 more Cups in them if they had stayed together.

  • @winston19841 WAYNE SAID THE SAME THING HIMSELF. SAID MAYBE 10 CUPS ALL TOGETHER IF THE TEAM COULD'VE STAYED AS ONE UNIT. COMING FROM A FAIRLY MODEST GUY, WHO KNOWS?

  • That's heart right there. That's true heart.

    I love you Gretzky.

  • this broke my heart

  • Four words on why this trade sucked....Peter Pocklington ....Jimmy Carson

  • Fuckin Peter Pocklington.

  • Pocklington was such a fag for doing this.

  • Who thinks Edmonton would have won a couple extra Stanley cups if Gretzky dident get sold

  • @shadowchaos88 ....Definitely ...would have won in 89 and 90....not sure about about 91 and 92 cause Mario , Jagr and the Pens were probably good enough to have beat them by then.

  • @vardiss22 dude they had kurri and messier and fucking gretzky

  • @dojOdRiFTeR true but the Pens had Lemieux, Jagr, Ron Francis, Paul Coffey , Bryan Trottier, Mark Recchi, Kevin Stevens and Tom Barrasso and tons of depth..alot people forget just how good the back to back Pens champs were they would have given (i think) even aGretzky lead Oilers team a tough time just like the 87 flyers who didn't really have a"superstar" player outside of ron hextall

  • This was a total croc folks! He got sold off to the Kings cause jerk Pocklington needed the cash. I met Wayne's dad out here in Burnaby scorekeeping ice hockey and I said to him in a way Wayne getting traded or sold to Los Angeles was better for him in the long run cause he made way more dough than what Pocklington would ever be afford to pay him. Pocklington never would have been able to afford to pay Wayne the millions he made while a King. His dad agreed with me. As well he helped hockey usa

  • Worst trade in the history of hockey!!!

  • @cors171 no way man, lol. not even close.

  • He even said on an interview that he never wanted to be traded but the Oilers Organization felt like it was best for the team to pass up a lot of money. His pay increased dramatically. LA Kings former GM even said that he would have traded his whole team to get Gretzky. While Gretzky was asked if how many Stanley Cup could have he won for the Oilers if he was not traded, he said 4 or 5.

    I know he could have done that. He was untouchable.

  • @ifalter I can't argue with you on that one at all.I believe the team also wouldn't have totally dismantled 4 years later either.

  • I had to look this up to get the taste of the Lebron James press conference out of my mouth. This is what it looks like when an athlete truly loves the city he plays for.

  • @rcdugn Big niggers that get paid way too much in the NBA don't care bout shit but themselves.

  • @rcdugn

    but u c gretzky won cups with them so it's sad but for lebron james who played most of his season with tha cavs and every year he almost never makes it tha the finals so him being tha only good playa on tha team i can understand. i'm sorry athletes play to win it all so james never got that with tha cavs so he moved on with miami

  • Someone show this to Lebron.

  • Dude, hockey players are real fcking men. Most of them could get there arm broke and not cry.

  • now THAT'S devotion to your team!

  • ouch, you can almost feel the heartbreak Gretzky felt when he got traded.

  • They tried to pass a law to prevent him from being traded. lol

  • he never wanted to be traded that was a script he was forced to read from. Hence the tears

  • Oh, for christ sake man! If its tearing you up so much, don't go! anyone watching this would think he was about to be sent to a Siberian salt mine or something.

  • lmfao Siberian Salt Mine.....you kill me

  • Are you stupid? He never wanted to be traded.

  • idk it makes me tear up when i see a man cry

  • Wayne, we`re sorry and we missed you. Thank you for coming back

  • Wayne Gretzky is beast! I can't believe only 67 people have watched this video!
