I was pretty sick of the game being tailored for Wayne Gretzky. He was a tremendous talent, but the League went overboard. I'm old enough to have seen him throughout his career, going back to the WHA, but don't miss him much.
He was the biggest pussy I have ever seen in any professional sport. I saw him take 3 big hits in his career and every one left him hurt or temporarily hurt. McSorely was one of the biggest pieces of shit in the league at the time and was even charged with assault during one of his games. He's the kind of worthless scumbag they never should have allowed in the league.
Finish the check cleanly? Lol the commentator is out to lunch, that was a full second delayed hit. And a sucker punch worth 2 in the box hahaha! Gotta love the 80’s!
That was not "finishing the check" the puck is off of 99's stick and dummy there has to take a few extra steps to continue into Gretzky. . Glad he got his bell rung for that one.
You have to wonder is the NHL paying attention to this. This is what the people want! They want the super skilled players like Gretzky to do their magic, and a cement head like McSorley to teach the other team, that you have to leave Gretzky alone or else. NHL ratings would be up, if hockey was still like this.
One time Gino Odjik hit Doug Gilmore and rattled him. Wendel Clark skated over to Pavel Bure and said “Tell Gino that if he touches Dougie again, you’re dead” Bure talked to Odjik and Gilmore didn’t get touched again
Can you imagine McSorely accompanying Gretzke to a strip club? Every time a dancer gets too close Marty slides in and hip checks them out of the booth or off his lap, then beats them silly if they don't take the hint. There could be some great comedy skits written about NHL enforcers "protecting" teammates in off ice, everyday activities using the same force and attitude that they display on the ice. 😛
Some people complain that 99 had bodyguards. Maybe so but in those days there was a lot more dangerous play and some guys head hunting looking to make a name for themselves.

McSorely should have throttled that chickensht Buckberger.
Those were the days🙂
coward
Poor little Wayne had to take a clean body check.
When hockey was hockey
Hahah no matter what age or what era. A Tkachuk is gonna dive….
I had heard the elder Tchasuck was just as dirty and lame as the younger ones, but this is indisputable proof.
Piece of crap can't even take a clean hit without being a bitch … Tkachuk is 10times the player Mcsorely was.

Dad turtles just like the tkachuk kids
Jets need to bring these jerseys back that being said Marty was a sack of shit
Dont forget Bob Provert one hell of an enforcer
Clean hit? Gretz had passed the puck 3 seconds before the hit. Punch in the head well deserved.
Barry Melrose's mullet
Ah the Goons of Hockey! Waaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaa
“I didn’t like that hit” (punch!!!!) player down
Victory
Man I miss real hockey!
this is the myth behind 99, he rarely hit anyone, and few dared to hit him . . . he wasn't even the best player of his time, Mario Lemieux was

Don’t quarterbacks have Offensive linemen to protect them ? Yes they fo
Princess Gretzky was well-protected
Like father like sons! Haha they sure know how to take a dive 😂
I was at Mcsorley’s last game in Vancouver where he lost his shit and took a stick to Brashear’s head. What an idiot.
When hockey was great, it let the superstars shine and do their thing
Mcsorely, dummest player in NHL
That was such a late hit. Cant believe this was considered a good hit back in the days, hockey has evolved so much.
Gretzky was protected by the nhl owners
If you touched him
You were out
This is how everybody do if your name makes them sell for millions
every time a Tkachuk gets punched in the face, an angel gets its wings
Lol…roughing. Today it may warrant a 5 MM or a double-minor at worst.
He’d get suspended in today’s game
Tkachuk turtling back in the 90’s, Tkachuk turtles in 2020’s, you love to see it
Gordie Howe never needed an enforcer. He was the enforcer.
"finshes the check cleanly" – Way late, but not a dirty hit. Tkachuk knew the rules. lol
Both of these absolute legends should have never left he cut of CHAMPIONS. Peter puck, I’m looking at you buddy
It was nice the night Wendel Clarke kicked Marty's ass at the gardens. LOL

Was it Wayne or Jane gretsky if he got hit like Orr did he never would’ve made it
My parents told me never to hit a woman or even worse a gretsky
