It was a hit. In hockey there is hitting. Gretzky wasn't hit much during his career because his teams were smart enough to have bodyguards for him. If you hit the great one you were risking your own health….
Suter was a great defenseman but was renowned for stuff like that. Probably getting Wayne back for all those years the Oilers knocked the Flames out if the playoffs
No idea why I watched this. I came to find the Messier elbow on Modano and this was below. Hated it then and I hate it now. Suter was such a prick for doing this! lol
Gary Suter, cheap shot after cheap shot. That was a hit from behind. He retired Paul Kariya too. Who the Fuck ever paid big money to come to an NHL game to see Gary Fucken Puker. Pathetic… just pathetic.
Not a cheap hit. Hitting at that moment was fair game. The puck was at his skates. It's not Suter's fault he didn't look back. Gretzky had an invisible barrier around him his whole career. I was happy when that happened. I even have the original newspaper clipping.😂 The only reason he had way more points than his contemporaries was due to being protected by the league. It was accepted throughout the league that he was off limits. All his achievements should have asterisks beside them.

I still believe Suter should have been barred for life from hockey after that. What a lowlife
Cheap AF.
That a was the start of the major back injuries
Who did that voiceover?

Good hit.

Chellios’ first day on skates
l always appreciated the two guys that tried to get back at Suter, Tocchet and Lindros.
this almost ended gretzkys career but youll never hear about it like lemieux or orr. always irritates me.
I wouldn't have believed, after all these years, that seeing this would still really fucking piss me off.
So much for the crackpot theory that he was allowed to be hit. And where was the big fight afterwards? Nothing happened.
less than a month later walter suffered an aneurysm, more than coincidental
What the F Suter!? That was terrible. Somewhere Jeff Norton was watching that and pointing like Leonardo DiCaprio in that meme.
He got Jagr’s teeth earlier in the tournament
Looks like John Candy next to Walter?
Not so easy when you dont have your goons watching your back.
Surprised McSorely didnt show up to his house with a machete

Wait, Gretzky never got hit. There was an NHL wide rule against it.
It’s crazy to realize – with hindsight – this was the very moment Gretzky’s prime ended.
Boarding!!
gary suter always a piece of dog crap ALWAYS

Whining Wayne always Whining !
people call a wayne a whiner the dude weighed what in the 80's what was he supposed to do?
That's one of the dirtier hits I've seen.
Absolutely gutless cheap shot
It doesn’t look like an exceptionally hard hit. I think he just fell awkwardly and was bent backwards by the boards.
that was a good clean hit..
They wouldn’t even call this a penalty today.
Where r all the goons?
Garbage filthy cheap shot somehow permitted in the great game…
