great video of gordie howe

Recommended Posts

Anybody know who he fought and what age you think he was in that video? My stupid mental math makes me think he has got to be around like 40 if the video is color.

Holy Hell! That may have been the best fight ever! Put it in the video I posted in the "Possibly one of the greatest fight videos ever" thread and it's complete!

LOL that's not Gordie Howe...

The Toledo Storm wore Red Wings colors as they were their ECHL affiliate. Just b/c it was a red jersey and #9 doesn't mean it was Howe...plus the guy has a full head of hair.

Plus I'm sure Airtouch Cellular wasn't around when he played...nice ad on the ice...
