The Great One?


What are people, most likely Americans, thinking when the write crap like this:


Gretzky must quit Coyotes immediately


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11243000/


What?!


Gretzky faces his greatest challenge yet


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11245707/


The 2nd one, okay, yes, not good that his wife gambled (but still? ), or that his friend is probably going to jail (but still? ). But the Great One, quit? The Great One not lead Canada into Olympic Hockey battle? Those are the words of the insane, or utterly clueless. This is the Great One!!


Such idiocy, blended nicely with arrogance on the parts of Americans (in this case ) reminds me of a quote from the movie 'Casino':






Mr. Rothstein, your people never will understand... the way it works out here. You're all just our guests. But you act like you're at home.


Let me tell you something, partner. You ain't home. But that's where we're gonna send you if it harelips the governor.





Not only will slagging the Great One help Canada win Gold in Italy, but rest-assured, it will be a mission 'for the Great One'! You can't slag the Great One and be right, even if you might be otherwise right, you're definitely wrong.


Just don't get it... The American Press is just adding fuel to a fire that's already way out of their control...

Yeah, see, Canadians truely believe that Gretzky is in the top ten Canadians of all time:


http://www.cbc.ca/greatest/top_ten/nominee/gretzky-wayne.html


I believe, before it's all said and done, if he wanted to be, he could be Canada's Prime Minister, in the most lop-sided election in Canadian history!


The U.S. media can slag the Great One all they want, but rest assured that no Canadian gives a rats arse about his wife gambling in New Jersey, which is a big step up from other normal New Jersey activities, relative to his stature.


Slagging the Great One does nothing for American Hockey, all it does is wave the red-flag in front of the bull. And when you play with the bull, you get the horns.

Way hey!! Maybe Gretzky won't end up under a U.S. bus, after all!


http://www.cbc.ca/story/sports/national/2006/02/12/Sports/sp_gretzkycall20060212.html





"Published reports that Wayne had spoken to Rick Tocchet about his concern for Janet prior to officers appearing at Wayne's house on Monday are completely ludicrous," said Gretzky's lawyer, Ron Fujikawa. "It's absolute balderdash."


A load of balderdash!!!.

I'm kind of surprised by the timing of 'Operation: Slag the Great One'


Could it be a coincidence that Americans have attempted to throw Gretzky under-the-bus one week before the Olympics?


A load of balderdash!
