How great is that? What an amazing recovery. Here's an AP article on how revered Mr. Hockey still is in his hometown...

i live in saskatoon and people have been excited about this for months, it was a pretty big deal when his plane landed here yesterday. Another cool thing is that Gretzky is going to be the mc for the event. Apparently if you have tickets everyone that is in the room can get pictures, autographs ect. I looked on kijiji last night and a single ticket was going for $1600. i guess bobby and brett hull, marty mcsorley and scotty bowman will also be there.

So amazing.

And yet some people (who may or may not be religiously invested and who may or may not hate science) still think stem cell research is a bad thing.

It helps if your subject is Gordie Howe. The man's tougher than a boiled owl.

In honour of Gordie and Saskatoon (or a little bit south of there). I'm SO happy for Gordie and his family and everyone who loves hockey. I hope NHL Network carries some of this live. Rick Zombo, I couldn't agree more and was going to make the stem cell point in the OP but didn't want to get into a debate with anyone when this was about great news for #9.
