Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe, legendary Detroit Red Wing, passed away at age 88.
I worshiped Gordie as a youth (saw him play at the big old barn called the "Olympia"). My dad told me stories about NY Ranger enforcer Lou Fontinato making the mistake of picking a fight with Gordie. Howe broke his nose and busted his jaw!
Ali, Howe and a host of great musicians. Geeze, 2016 really sucks.
