| Messier's Jersey Retirement
Posted: 2/27/2007 7:02:18 PM | | Was it just me or were there moments where the fans booed during Mark Messier's jersey retirement ceremony? It wasn't just once, it was throughout and most noticeably during the speeches. Mark seemed to take it all in stride and maybe they weren't booing but instead saying something else but on our end, it sure sounded like booing. Anyone else see this? | |

Posted: 2/27/2007 7:12:36 PM | | Yeah I was wondering if it was a nickname or something, which certainly would make more sense than booing. I know Edmonton hockey fans are a little... well, unhinged, but I can't see people being so dense as to boo during his ceremony, regardless of what happened earlier in the day. | |

Posted: 2/27/2007 8:07:46 PM | My favorite part was when the fan hollered out, "welcome home Mark!"
And yeah, for a split second I was like "wtf?"
But then realised they were saying "Moose". | |

That is why. He smacked them hard, and they couldn't move him easily on the ice. He was also nick named the MESSIAH.  | |

Mark Messier Joke!!!
One day, Mario Lemuix, Wayne Gretzky, and Mark Messier all go up to heaven
and they all meet God at his throne. God asks them all two questions.
God: Mario, what did you accomplish in your life?
Mario: Well, in 11 NHL seasons, I won 4 scoring titles, was second all
time with 2.03 points per game, and after battling back from cancer, I
lead my team to the Eastern Conference finals.
God: And what did the people around think of you?
Mario: The people in Pittsburgh loved me!
God: Wayne, what did you accomplish in your life?
Wayne: Well, in my 17 NHL seasons, I won 11 league scoring titles, I was
league MVP 9 times, I received 4 Lady Byng Trophies, earned 5 Lester B.
Pearson Awards, and lead Edmonton to 4 Stanley cups.
God: And what did the people around think of you?
Wayne: The people of North America love me so much they called me The
Great One!
God: Mark, what did you accomplish in your life?
Mark: Well, I reached the 50-goal mark once, the 100-point plateau 5
times, I was voted the 1984 playoff MVP, and I had my name etched in 5
Edmonton Stanley Cups. In the '93-'94 playoffs, I promised a game 6
victory in the Eastern Conference Finals, and delivered, and then brought
a Cup to Broadway.
God: And what did the people around think of you?
Mark: Well, the people in New York love me, and frankly, they think
you're sitting in MY seat! | |

She commented "MESSY EH??" .... her husband replied.... " NO!! IT'S ME! GRETZKY!!"
