Last handful of years, the green is a lot sharper and crisp and a little darker.
So I love those two because you go back to the old days and those old days weren't great.
I think it was the second year Gretzky referenced the Mickey Mouse year in 1983 because I started my playing career as a 19-year-old and played 11 games.
Broke my leg the 11th game against the Hartford Whalers and happened to be in the stands with a big cast on, I believe, or watching that game that was 13-4 final, I think.
And I always said if I was in the lineup, that game would have only been 8-4.
Yeah.
I'm pretty good friends with Wayne Gretzky and I grew up in Edmonton, got to know him at a young age.
Mark Messier was my dear friend and mentor from 10 years old on growing up in Alberta there.
And so I got to watch all those dynasty teams, those great oiler teams.
And, and,
man there's not a better person or greater player than Wayne Gretzky and I think he was just frustrated for his old teammate Ronnie Lowe I think who was getting all those pucks blown by him that year and hey look as I know the fans still still hold up the signs every once in a while and and and everything and still mock it but to me it was a a
a turning point really, whereas, yeah, what are we doing here?
I mean, we need to get better management.
We need better coaches.
We need better players.
And I wanted to be part of that.
So Gretzky probably did us a favor at the time, to tell you the truth.
We were winning 17 games a year, then 23 games a year.
And it was so much more gratifying to go through those
incredibly tough times to where we got to.
