BlueshirtsUnited.com spoke with New York Rangers legend Rod Gilbert on Friday to discuss the life and career of Gordie Howe, "Mr. Hockey", who passed away earlier in the day at age 88.
BSU: What are your thoughts about Gordie Howe's passing today?
RG: It's a sad day for his family and for the larger hockey family. It's a big loss for hockey, and I hope he gets all the recognition he is due for everything he did for this great game of ours. As far as I am concerned from when I played against him there was nobody better than Gordie Howe.
