McCreary flattens Gretzky

Before his cousin of the same name became an NHL ref, Bill McCreary played for the Toronto Maple Leafs for a dozen games. This hit on Gretzky was bad enough to cause McCreary to be blacklisted, so the story goes, never to play in the NHL again...

Nice clean hit on Gretzky. Shouda kept your head up there Wayne.

Didn't like his reaction though. Laying there like he was dead. Come on.

Almost as embarassing as when he feigned death when Dave Taylor gave him a shot.

@felled Gretzky literally sobbing on the bench was one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen in sports. Soccer players act with more class.

finnaly someone willing to actually hit gretsky. It was an unwritten rule not to hit him just because the NHL was in financial trouble.

That gAme was the second of his twelve game career.

it's just too bad the league got involved.. McCreary never played again i believe..

@berezin99 Still the best player to play the game, regardless of his toughness he did more embarrassing of other teams he played against. His records will never be broken...

[shipmaker14]

@DickMcPenis I think Crosby is a close second.

Gretzky has to be the most feminine player not named Manon to have ever played in the NHL.

Fair hit
