I'm curious to hear your opinion on the negative hits on hockey

feelgood, the fact that Wayne's name and illegal gambling are used in the same sentence in every major media outlet is damaging to the NHL. The fact that the league went out to get such a high profile attorney as Robert Cleary, a former federal prosecutor who handled the Unabomber case, to investigate, says they are concerned about the “hit hockey will take”, which is the point I was trying to make.
After all the damage the lockout and rule changes have done the NHL needs to distance them from Gretzky as far as possible. All this is was so avoidable, it’s truly a shame.
I really hate feeling this way because I love Wayne and what he has shared with us. He has shown true class and I feel so bad for him and his family!
