Gordie was good. No arguement here. Gretzky even modelled his # 99 after Howe's # 9. He's even said that Gordie was his hockey player idol. There's a famous pic with a young Gretzky (I'd guess at about age 12) with Howe in his Red Wings jersey.

However, the NHL of today is not like the NHL of the late 70s and 80s, which was Gretzky's dominate years.

Not sure if you get ESPN Classic Canada (why would you), but when they show olde school Edmonton games - I can remember watching some of those games live and seeing Gretzky play those games again makes me laugh. It some cases, it seems like a man playing with boys.

When I was an undergrad at Bowling Green, Gordie came down from Detroit to make a training film. He did it in our ice arena at night when it was not being used. I'd go in and watch what was going on. He had his sons Mark and Marty with him on the ice, I'd guess about ages 10 and 12. He also had Roger Crozier, the Red Wings goalie. Roger was a show in himself. Gordie was amazing. He'd stand at the boards right next to the goal line and flick shots into the upper corner of the net. He had forearms like Rod Laver. I know I'd never want to go into the corner with him. Gretzky was amazing too. He had glue on his stick. The best defenseman I'd ever seen was Bobby Orr. No one since him has been as good. The Montreal-Boston series of the early 70's were classics. Just some personal observations from an old-timer.

In part (a) the pass was complete by the defense.
In part (b) the pass was complete by the offense.

In section (ii), the pass was thrown to a location before the LS:
In part (a) the pass was complete by the defense.

In part (c) the pass was incomplete. [/B]

(i)
(a) Repeat the down, and give A the ball and go back 15 yards from PLS,
or
decline the penalty and accept the interecption and subsequent play (the likely answer).

(b) Repeat the down 15 yards back of PLS
or
Decline the penalty and give A any distance gained (highly unlikely)

(c) Repeat the down 15 yeards back of PLS
or
Decline the penalty and let the play stand as an incomplete pass

same options regardless of whether the pass was thrown before or beyond the LS

Mike, did you get my e-mail?

It might have bounced. I just realized that the e-mai lthis system has is out of date. I will update it now...

You can also try World of Sports. They have been around since 1980 and have a web site at http://www.worldofsports.ca

Hey Cagey, if you read the first page of the thread you'll see I mention World of Sports

I assume since you know so much about it, you must be a Lakeshore guy, am I right??

You're just a tad bit late with this thread, eh??


999!!!!

I only came across this page yesterday by accident. When I was looking up things, never saw the rest of the posts. It took me a little while to figure out how to negotiate through the thread. By the time I figured it out, I had already posted. Consider it an inadvertent whistle.

[Cagey]

You guessed right the first time. I am a member of Lakeshore. From your other posts, I gather you are a member of Hamilton.

Welcome to the forum.

[Cagey]

Many thanks. I have enjoyed reading through many of the posts. As well, I have come across a few people I know.

[ref18]

Have we met yet??

If you've done an OV game in Hamilton over the past 2 years chances are we've met.

[JugglingReferee]

...maybe you've met me?!?!?!

Any idea who I am? LOL

[Cagey]

Juggling ref, you I know and have met you several times. Ref18, have not done any games in Hamilton.
