Gretzky's "Aud" Memories

The Phoenix Coyotes were in Buffalo on Friday. Not far from the HSBC Arena workers have begun dismantling the old Buffalo Auditorium, preparing it for demolition.

The old Aud was the site where Wayne Gretzky broke Phil Esposito's single season goal scoring record. The Buffalo News caught up with Gretzky before the game and asked for his recollections of that night and the old building.

Watch the video here.

It was Gretzky's 77th goal of the season, coming in just his 65th game. Of course, he would go on to score 92 goals that year.

Here's a picture of Gretzky and Espo in the moment:
