I would say [Wayne ordsprog

I would say [Wayne Gretzky] is No. 1. I would have a hard time not putting Bobby Orr as two. If Mario would have stayed healthy, he might have been No. 1, but I also think you have to put Gordie Howe in there. Gordie Howe gave hockey an identity.

I feel kind of embarrassed that it's on there. You look at it and I see my name on it and I understand that, but you look at Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky and Nigel Kirwan? It's like one of these things is not like the other.

He, (Wayne) Gretzky and Gordie (Howe), for me, personally, are the guys. Special player, special person, special talent.

I've never seen a guy like that, ... Maybe Gordie Howe. Gordie didn't ever want to retire and that's how Mark was: I want to play forever. He never wanted to quit. I know it's going to be a tough day for him, being officially retired.

Wayne Gretzky (1961-)

Wayne Gretzky

I always felt [he] was a little bit like Gordie Howe. He can beat you physically, and he can beat you with his skill. I always thought that Gordie was the player that he reminded [me] of.

He's right up there with Gordie Howe,

I think Gordie Howe touched on it in the foreword to some extent when he said the geography actually helps in a lot of cases, especially in the generations before ours. If you want to play baseball, or football or hockey or soccer, you put something down at each end and just play.

Right now there's no deal on the Gordie Howe project. Obviously it's something we've taken a look at and are looking at, but we haven't made a deal on anything. ... Right now it's just a little too early.

One of the advantages, one of the special things, about playing in Detroit or Montreal is guys like Gordie Howe walk in the room. I didn't know he was here tonight, it was kind of a coincidence to get that assist on a night that he's here.

Detroit is still seen as the tough city, a city that has a reputation for high crime, ... The tough city thing is fine. It's always had a reputation as that. ... You know, Gordie Howe, when I was watching hockey, was the toughest guy in the league playing for the Red Wings. He represented that tough aura.

Eugene Levy (1944-)

To be passing Gordie Howe - holy mackerel! That's unbelievable. That's how good you've been and that's how long you've played. And that's how good of players you played with.

He's one of the only guys who could have challenged (Wayne) Gretzky had he played long enough. Gretzky had a longer career and was fortunate to play more games than Mario. As a pure point-getter, he's right up there with Wayne. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them.

We felt at halftime that we had to stop Howe. Quisenberry stepped up big for us. He played well for us offensively (10 points) and he really slowed Howe down in the second half.

I'm not trying to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux, ... I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential -- that's all I can do.

I just kept working on things. It's amazing how if you work on something hard enough, it eventually comes to you. I used to watch moves by players like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux and try to emulate their moves.
