Rawlings. I totally forgot they were in the hockey market. How long did that last?

Rawlings made hockey gloves?

Wayne looks fucking *hot* here eh.
That 5th pick just oozes style. The jerseys, the tuck, the turtleneck, the hair.

I will. I will say the thing. I will say that Yzerman injured himself celebrating and that really made a difference in the next round against Colorado.
Also congratulations to the Blues franchise for being the only part of Gretzky’s career to immediately make everyone think of Steve Yzerman.

Wow, hard to believe this is only the 6th anniversary of Wayne Gretzky’s debut with the Blues
thejardude
As someone who only followed the Canucks at the time, who was captain before Gretzky? I know it’s Gretzky, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player become captain immediately after a trade
greenlightgoreddit
He debuted as captain?
dexterthekilla
Well Blues does have Gretzkys number retired

This is when I first started really following/understanding the NHL. I was so hyped for this, sure they’d win the cup.

I was at that game
thatboyeaintright
those jofa buckets though, it actually looks like he has no equipment on at all

And to think, this was the moment that led to them getting their first cup….23 years later.

Thanks a lot, Keenan.

Seeing those Easton Aluminums takes me back. I still have my 2 Easton Aluminum sticks from my minor hockey days. I’ve thought about getting a senior plug for them and using them in a game.

Fuck Nick Kypreos with a rusty chainsaw. Yzerman would have never scored on Fuhr.

I didn’t know he was captain during his very short blues tenure

Kinda weird for Gretzky to take the C right away, even if it was offered.

I miss my Easton aluminum shaft 🥺

Call me crazy, but I love those jerseys. That second picture in particular – Gretz with the turtleneck underneath the jersey – is so iconic and so nostalgic for me.

He was 35 years old, if anyone else was wondering

Amazing that Wayne showed up, got named captain, put up just 37 points in 31 total games, then dipped.
PaperMoonShine
Damn they gave him the C before he even debuted?

Holy shit, in pics Wayne 2 & 5 looks so handsome he made my butthole lips wet

Brett Hull looks like the proudest mother.

I know Wayne is the goat but throwing a C on a guy who ends up playing a total of 18 games for your team is a wild move.

Don’t say it
