Gary Bettman vs. Ron McLean, Mr Hockey now DOCTOR Hockey.

I'm curious what everyone thought about the second intermission feature last night. Was it MORE, or LESS intense than the game on the ice? Wow. Watch it below if you missed it.








The Puck Daddy Blog even has a blow-by-blow account of the interview, followed up by a scorecard on who won. Great stuff!

Here's a cool story - congrats to Mr. Hockey. I am lucky enough to have met Mr. Hockey. You won't find a better person!







Gordie Howe gets honorary degree, turning Mr. Hockey into Dr. Hockey
 




SASKATOON - The man known as Mr. Hockey has a new name  Dr. Hockey.





National Hockey League legend Gordie Howe has received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.







University president Peter MacKinnon said in a speech to graduates that Howe rose above adversity and overcame great odds to become a dominant figure in hockey.
 




MacKinnon also recognized Howe's charity work, including his Howe Foundation which raises money so that children can play hockey.
 




Howe, regarded as one of the best ever to play the game, was born in Floral, Sask., and grew up in Saskatoon.
 




The Hall of Famer won four Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings in the 1950s and six Hart Trophies as the league's most valuable player.
