Lizard's Rant

I know that Wayne Gretzky collectibles still probably sell better than anyone else in the game (with the exception of Crosby maybe) and that he’s Todd’s buddy out there in Phoenix, but McFarlane has taken it a bit too far with their latest installment - a St. Louis Blues figure, Gretzky’s NINTH McFarlane by my count (even though it says Gretzky 5 he’s had 12 inch figures and Team Canada figures on top of his legends figures).

Gretzky played all of 31 games with the Blues in 1996 before bolting to New York. That Blues team lost in the second round of the playoffs on a turnover by the “great one” that led to Steve Yzerman’s famous Game 7 second-overtime goal (video below).

I doubt Blues fans will be rushing to the stores to pick up this figure to commemorate that historical moment.
