This quote is interesting, in light of a special that aired last night on ESPN 2. In it, Wayne mentions he was already living full time in LA before he was ever traded there. Does this have a place in this article? --[[User:MichiganCharms|MichiganCharms]] ([[User talk:MichiganCharms|talk]]) 20:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC) |

:Well you have to remember his wife already lived there. So he is most likely referring to the fact they had a second home there prior to being traded there. Not really all that important I don't think. -[[User:Djsasso|DJSasso]] ([[User talk:Djsasso|talk]]) 03:35, 14 October 2009 (UTC) |

Error with Kings' Captaincy
Have to correct a very common error - Gretzky wasn't named LA Kings captain until his second season with the team; Dave Taylor was captain during Gretzky's first year with the team.
YouTube clip for verification - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfxdIRuXcdM. First time you clearly see the "A" on Gretzky's jersey is 4:40, the clinching goal in Game 5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.121.2 (talk) 18:57, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
- That's correct. GoodDay (talk) 20:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank God I'm Polish
There's such information in article, quoting Gretzky to saying these words on Hall Of Fame ceremony. But the link in the note [13] provides to site that doesn't consist any of such data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.105.5.57 (talk) 12:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
What is source?
Pardon me, if I'm missed it. But I'm looking at the references and I see one "Raymond", ex: cite 69, but I cannot, for the life of me, see what the reference is! To What source does this refer? BashBrannigan (talk) 00:50, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah... odd. There seems to be two years with that name... I'm guessing that the Raymond, 1993 cites should be Redmond, 1993, and the Raymond 1994 cites should be Taylor. Unless someone can confirm that, I'm not going to make a change until I get a chance to confirm the cites are accurate via the books themselves. Resolute 02:15, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
"I moved because I was traded and that's where my job is"
This quote is interesting, in light of a special that aired last night on ESPN 2. In it, Wayne mentions he was already living full time in LA before he was ever traded there. Does this have a place in this article? --MichiganCharms (talk) 20:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
