The Oilers are in the Western Conference Final, but one very important person is missing from the dressing room. Joey Moss passed away in October 2020.
“He was my first boss,” he said. “I said, ‘Not a chance, because what Joe had was special.'” He just never stopped being my boss.” “We miss him a ton.” He found him on the floor of the dressing room picking up sock lint with his fingers. Moss lived with Down Syndrome, and originally connected with the NHL team in the ’80s, when Wayne Gretzky dated Moss’ sister.
