Wayne Gretzky denied kiss from wife, finally shut down (Video)

In a career that saw him set nearly every offensive record in the NHL, few people could claim to have shut down Wayne Gretzky inside an arena. 

After Wednesday night, however, one person can: Janet Jones, his wife.

The hockey royal couple were watching the Washington Capitals take on the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 4 of their series, when a camera caught The Great One lingering for a Wet One.

Janet shook her head and stared up at the video screen instead, leaving Wayne hanging there as the camera slowly zoomed in on him, giving the entire thing a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” vibe.

As one would expect the all-time leader in assists would do, he made a second attempt at a pass.

Alas, she went all Joel Otto on him and he was denied.

No word on how this eventually played out, or if it will at all affect his Conn Smythe candidacy.
