Wayne Gretzky is obviously the GOAT of hockey, no doubt about it.
And there he was, sitting on the air for TNT’s hockey coverage, toughing it out with the rest of the crew as the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers played nearly FOUR full overtimes before Matthew Tkachuk ended the 3-2 game with a goal and walk-off celebration.
Gretzky was a little bit saltier than usual, which makes sense. Dude is 62 years old and this game just won’t end. It was late and he was probably tired. But it was fun to see him roast the hapless Toronto Maple Leafs a bit:

Wayne Gretzky is almost always measured and somewhat ordinary when he speaks and the one time he opens up is to absolutely body the Leafs lmao https://t.co/UXNkY2lwVG
