From that power comes more money. In that process the EGO is always inflating. And then with that mixture of ego, money and power there's a GOD feeling. From that point who knows what happens and why it happens. Some turn good and some turn bad.

What a crock of crap, Denis.
First, people bet all the time, with no idea that there may be underworld figures involved.
Secondly, he says he never bet and I believe him (always a dangerous thing to do, I know).
Third, there's been no hint that Gretzky himself is involved, other than late in the game asking how to protect his wife.

Now, since Lemieux is from my back yard, I'll go that he's #2. But the Rocket is still #1 here.
