The Great One

This may be the silliest thing I've ever seen in sports. And I mean that in the best possible way. It’s Wayne Gretzky’s 50th hat trick as a pro.

That’s right. His 50th.

But wait until you see how it happens. One-on-three, and he makes ‘em all just fall down trying to stop him.

Actually, that might be the proper response when in the presence of greatness.

Gretzky had 37 three-goal games, nine four-goal games and four five-goal games.

Unbelievable. It’s pretty cool to live at the same time as giants.

A true giant. The only challenger he has to the mantle of "Greatest of All Times" might be Bobby Orr (I may have some regional bias there), but Orr was the kind of player that made everyone else look like they were still in the minors.

Oh, it's so nice to read about hockey from a true fan. I saw Gretzky play once (I live in Fresno, so it's not like we have the NHL close by) and it was unbelieveable. I don't even think he scored, but just to see him skate....I don't care what anyone says he is the greatest.
