Wayne Gretzky, ice hockey GOAT. His main man was Mark Messier, pronounced “messy eh”. Thus the joke.

There is a famous hockey player named Mark Messier (pronounced “Messy-eh”), so it’s a play on being “messy, eh” and his last name being Messier to go along with the greatest North American athlete of all time, the Great One - Wayne Gretzky. Who is a famous hockey player, as well.

Also they played together and for a time they were #1 and #2 in all time points. Jagr has since moved messier to #3.
