My wife worked for Peller Estates for over 30 years who produce Gretzky wines. We used to enjoy those wines. Met his Dad as a result of this. I won’t drink Gretzky wine anymore and I could care less about him anymore. He is not Canadian. Stay away From Wayne, stay away!!!
This is how dictators try to detoxify themselves. Gretzky is a transactional airhead, but Bettman knows this is profoundly wrong. Putin and Trump will leverage this for all it’s worth. So many NHLers fought the Nazis in WWII; now Gretzky and Bettman hobnob with Trump’s scurvy gang. Shameful.
After Trump's inauguration, his wife, Janet Gretzky, ranted about how her husband is looked down upon in Canada. He's adding to the controversy They really don't understand Canada anymore. What an idiot.
Used to have an office in NYC across the street from NHL HQ and I'd often walk past Bettman going for lunch. The way he carried himself, I swear to god he had a "I'd like to just walk up to him and punch him in the face" kind of vibe.
Obviously I didn't but that's how I felt every time I saw him.
In moments Canadians need heroes, Gretzky chose to be a coward. How can look in the mirror, hanging out with people grossly disrespecting your very own cultural identity and heritage. Disgraceful how this guy doesn’t have any self-respect and balls to stand for his own people.
And trash mag SI writes how “classy” Dwayne Jetski is for showing up to the Caps game and praising Ovie saying how wonderful he is - read the room SI. But then again, your a US based (AKA head up its own ass) company
