With the recent news of Gordie Howe in declining health, ESPN's Keith Olbermann paid a touching tribute to Detroit's own Mr. Hockey.

Olbermann started with a story about how Howe almost died on the ice when he missed a check and crashed head-first into the boards.

Thirty years later, Howe was still playing hockey -- just after his 52nd birthday.

This video is well worth your five minutes to watch.
