Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman and Wayne Gretzky are standing before God
at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them and says, "Before granting
you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in."
Addressing Lemieux first he asks, "What do you believe?"

Mario looks God in the eye and states passionately, "I believe Hockey
to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so
many people, from Moscow to the bright lights of New York. I have
devoted my life to bringing such joy to people who watch us and support
their team."

God looks up and offers Mario the seat to his left.

He then turns to Steve Yzerman, "And you, Steve, what do you believe?"

Stevie Y stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion
are the fundamentals to life and I've spent my whole playing career
providing a living embodiment of these traits."

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Yzerman the seat to his
right.

Finally, he turns to Wayne Gretzky, "And you, Wayne, what do you
believe?"

"I believe," says Gretzky, "You're sitting in my seat."
