Gretzky brings the house down at Rexall Place

Watch as Wayne Gretzky gets the fans going one last time at Rexall Place.

[@KimJohnstonRadioPersonality]

Love how he still tucks in the one side of his jersey.

I’d like this comment but I wanna keep it at 99 likes

That's his Trade Mark Style

[@barrystewart5946]

The only way to introduce him, “He is the holder of 61 NHL records.” Crowd rises with thunderous applause. Continues throughout accolades, number and name.

[@igarvin1435]

Wayne couldn't control his tears walking out. He and every retired player on that ice has every right to cry.

[@igarvin1435]

Rexall Place will be missed. So will the Joe

No matter what jersey he wore, he was always an Oiler at heart.

[@bpeterssen]

We all loved him like a son!!! None better!!!

[@mikenike97L6]

Mad Props to Gretzky for keeping his Jersey tucked in on one side.

[@CNRailPusher]

Should've heard that place when Ryan Smyth walked out...... wow. So proud to be an Edmontonian right now!!!

[@kelseyticheler2802]

I know. I was there. A night full of emotion. Even though I didn't see all those stanley cups, it was pretty sad to be leaving that arena.

[@a.r5662]

To think the NHL retired his number 99 just shows the amount of pure iconic greatness and respect he got and truly deserved.

[@leamarie5129]

really hope this team does well next year.. these fans have stuck with them thru almost 10 bad season, they deserve a winning team in edmonton

[@tullyfarmer1968]

Wayne Gretzky, the one, the only, number 99

Your Majesty, Nobody did it like Wayne did. His supporting cast were no slouches either.Watching 99 and Company wreak havoc on the league the way they did brings back memories, Hockey royalty.

Gretzky the type of athlete that kids can look up to.

[@ryanmcbride5212]

Hearing his name echo through that arena again after all that time must have been something most of us will never get to experience

[@josephmcauley7605]

And here it is folks, the 2015-2016 Oilers season highlights!

[@a.r5662]

So happy I got to see true icon a GOAT and let's just face it a damn Hockey God play.

@@EAchank Thanks bro. I had Wayne's 99, Mark's 11 Paul's 7. My nephew's took them to europe.!! But i still have one with no number from 1980. Special team great times back then.

[@yuvyork6915]

The greatest of all time

[@jimscruggs3742]

I've heard this, I actually feel it's true. That when Wayne Gretzky was traded to the Kings from Edmonton. It changed the dynamics of hockey, period in California. Regarding new interest in hockey in the Western half of the United States. After a while it was not a matter of East Coast NHL teams having to trek all the way to L.A. just to play the Kings. Gretzky is a humble individual, as he was when he played. He never felt that it was "all about him", as players in other sports, such as the NFL, the NBA, etc. His attitude makes watching games in the NHL a lot more pleasant and enjoyable.

[@kencedor9020]

Awesome 👍👍🤘

[@nikkif6243]

The proper way to introduce him would have been "the greatest player of all time, past, present, and future".

[@erickouniakis5722]

No doubt !!

[@gino82marrone]

The King

[@arnoldstevenson4427]

I've seen them all.. over 60 yrs.. the best I seen was. Orr.. I'm. From Chicago Mikita & Hull where great.. but. Orr most skill player I seen.. period..

[@ovechkin100]

only a real pleb would actually try abd say Orr was better than gretzky.

[@AyaansCornerYT]

Rip walter

[@THELEAFSFAN]

Cool

[@razorback9926]

For a 6-year span (1981-1987), Gretzky averaged over 200 points per season. No other player has done it once.

[@NJGuy1973]

One writer joked that the NHL Player of the Month Award should have been renamed the Gretzky Award, and Gretzky should no longer be eligible.

Edmonton Loves Wayne

[@cutchopweld5717]

I love how Edmonton (and Canada)is suddenly good enough for him now that he hung up his skates and wants a job near hockey.

[@Tre16]

Wtf?

[@ryanmcbride5212]

Tf are you talking about

[@ryannewton1025]

He looks unhappy

[@enwhy7810]

Messier was better.

[@nikkif6243]

This is why people on crack should not be allowed to make comments on youtube.

[@enwhy7810]

@@nikkif6243 Cool cookie-cutter response, Val. Clever AND original. Mess captained the Gretzkyless Oilers to a Cup only a year after the team was put into a state of shock. On top of that, Messier was the Hart and Pearson winner, as well as the leading scorer in the playoffs, not to mention that during the Oilers sweep of the Kings, Gretzky was held to 1 point. Mark Messier was head and shoulders above Wayne Gretzky in terms of greatness. Ask the New York Rangers.

[@raypurdy4204]

Horrible kit by the way
