The NHL Needs to Create a New Wayne Gretzky

nhl hockey jerseys, Mary Shelly taunted us when she wrote Frankenstein. She left a hint that it would be possible to create a man. Of nhl hockey jerseys course, she used live body parts. We\'re not that far from it (50 years?) but we\'ll use biomechanics, not parts from other people.

This brings me to the NHL and the fact that a new Wayne Gretzky is needed, as is a Bobby Hull and a Gordie Howe. These people are needed because they can express the personality of the sport, be ambassadors for nhl hockey jerseys the sport, and give people some pretty darn good entertainment.

Most recently, a video game was announced where the current players would play against the old time players. This is, of course, is only a first step.

To take it one step further, the NHL should hire Dr. Frankenstein, or the Son of Frankenstein, or someone from the nhl hockey jerseys MIT robotics lab to focus on the creation of a new Wayne Gretzky. He wouldn\'t be named Wayne and he wouldn\'t look like the Great One, but he would be the perfect skater, perfect stick person, perfect goal scorer, and perfect person. He would of course have the same \"oh, gosh\" personality that Gretzky has.

Then, when Wayne Gretzky II is on the ice and successful, the NHL needs to promote and promote and promote. Also, they need to change the rules of defense so Mr. Gretzky II could thrill the fans. We can\'t have Mr. II getting all jumbled up when low performing defensemen simply get in his way.

Yes, there are good things happening in the NHL. An original-six team holds the Stanley Cup. Thank you Boston Bruins. The Winnipeg Jets are back. But more is needed. We need Florida teams to move north to Canada. We need a team in Edmonton. We need a team in London, Ontario, and we need a team in Quebec. And how about one in Nova Scotia?

We also need Russian and Euro players to change their names to be more Canadian friendly. Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals needs to legally change his name to Jimmy Iceangel.

Yes, we need a Wayne Gretzky II, a messiah of sorts who comes from the hinterland like a bolt of lightning, and carries a hockey stick made from a tree that was struck by lightning. (Or perhaps a laminated or composite tree that was struck by lightning - one that already had tape around it.) In any event, our neo-Frankenstein can build him way out in the northeast corner of British Columbia.

Then again, it would be a heck of a lot easier, and much less expensive, for the NHL to start promoting Pittsburgh Penguin captain Sidney Crosby. The Kid is here, let\'s let some marginal hockey fans know about him, and maybe we don\'t have to hire Dr. Frankenstein after all.
