Red Wings' Sam Gagner pays tribute to popular Oilers dressing room attendant Joey Moss

When Detroit Red Wings center Sam Gagner had eight points in one game in 2012 to tie an Edmonton Oilers club record set by Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey, Gagner received congratulations that night from Hall of Famers Gretzky and Coffey.

Gagner says nothing compared, though, to the time spent after the record-tying game with Joey Moss, the team's longtime dressing room attendant who died on Monday in Edmonton of complications from Alzheimer's disease at age 57.

Moss had Down syndrome and was a "ray of sunshine" and a fixture with the four-time Stanley Cup champions for nearly 40 years.
