This is wonderful.

In case you missed it, the Detroit Red Wings and their fans took a moment Friday at Joe Louis Arena to show support for Gordie Howe as he recovers from a serious stroke this week, including a chant of "GORDIE! GORDIE!" during a break in action.

The Howe family showed Mr. Hockey the video clip at his daughter's home in Lubbock, Texas, and shared the moment with fans on YouTube.

Watch it for yourself.

Howe, 86, is said to be resting comfortably and showing improvement since he suffered the stroke Sunday.
