Fans, tune in to watch a 59 year old with bad political opinions who likely does not really know how to play video games go HEAD TO HEAD with a 34 year old who also has bad political opinions and likely doesn't really know the controls in a contest that absolutely DOES NOT highlight any of their natural abilities! The winner will be named the GREATEST OF ALL TIME in an almost entirely unrelated discipline!

There is zero chance either of them will actually be controlling anything, they'll be pretending to while some random off camera teenagers actually play the game

I didn't really look too closely at the picture and thought it was just going to be NBCSN/TSN airing a CPU vs CPU game between the 10s Caps and the 80s Oilers. I might actually watch Gretzky vs. Ovie.

Like it's neat but I'm not sure the sim can capture how bizarrely skilled Gretzky was, or even possibly how opportunistic Ovi is.
I remember they had to make Heatley super fast in the games because otherwise they didn't know how to make him good

I like the repeated instances of "are you sure you don't want to be traded? Gosh, we'd sure hate to lose you and half your salary, but if it's really what you want...."

Sounds like the dude has made enough money to spend the rest of his life fishing and doesn't want to spend his days rehabbing from surgery anymore. Good on him.

Very weird situation. Probably could have let the team know that he was mulling retirement/needed ankle surgery a little earlier than the beginning of training camp

Gonna miss Big Buff, him pulling two Predators off of Perrault by their jerseys at the same time and ragdolling them a bit in the ‘18 playoffs owned

57. George Parros

He wore the number at each of his first two NHL stops, with the Kings and Avalanche, before wearing lower numbers for the rest of his career. The experience apparently left such an impact that he’s dedicated his post-playing career to handing out numbers that are always lower than they should be.
