Madison Square Garden lost two of its big draws within a week. I went there often in the mid/late '60s to see the Rangers play and Detroit (lead by Howe) was always a fun matchup. Gordie was already considered an "older" player by then but he was always very well-respected by fans and opponents as well.
R.I.P. #9
Played in the NHL at the age of 51 and still produced 41 points. Crazy.
