My favourite Gretzky fact is that if he never scored a goal he would still be 1st all time in points with just assists alone. (Points = goals + assists)

My favorite stat is that they track "fastest to 1000 points". #1 Was Gretzky and #2 was Gretzky. He scored his first 1000 faster than anyone (424 games) and his second 1000 faster than anyone else (433 games). It's wild. Lemieux took 513 games to get 1000.

Wayne is the only one to drop 200+ points in a season and he did that 4 times. The next closest to him is Mario Lemieux who dropped 199 one season.

@@Chaturanger I can't find any stats on how often Gretzky was hit or checked or held compared to others. I'm sure he was afforded a bit more room than the average player, but I can't say it was anything extreme compared to a top player from any other team, and how much of it was due to simple respect and fear of penalties and retaliation or how much of it was due to players deciding to attempt protecting the passing lanes from Gretzky rather than attacking Gretzky himself. I can say I have two vivid memories of physicality against him which stood out for him being as able to take a solid hit and having the tenacity of playing injured which gains players respect from their peers as well as fans. He took one of the hardest hits I've seen crossing the blue line with his head down and got folded in half with his head ending up somewhere between his knees. He got a puck to the side of his head and had his ear split wide open. Calmly skated to the bench for repairs.

True, the NHL of the 80s was quite different from today, the top scorers then were putting up numbers far higher than current players were for several reasons, one of which was goaltending wasn't nearly as focused in on as it is today. Sure, they had a lot of great goaltenders even in the 80s, but high-scoring games for both teams were not unheard of and were more common than they are now.

I feel in any era of sport, the great athletes would have been successful regardless. If players like Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Gordie Howe, Gretzky, etc. were raised in this era of sports with the same training, nutrition information, and other things given to athletes in the modern era, the athletes of the past would have still been successful. In an interview Gretzky admitted he would have had a tougher time in this era of hockey but would have also found a way to beating this era of hockey. If growing up in this time period where nutrition, training techniques, etc are well known, Gretzky would have probably still have been a phenomenon at age 10.

Mr.99's best year's was with the Oiler's.his whole Career he played for Edmonton ' Los Angeles Kings, St.Loius Blus and the New York Rangers and was almost a Toronto Maple Leafs in 1996 but they Saud he was too old at the time and no witch I personally wished happened.

He has more assists then the next player below him has points. Not counting his over 800 goals.

He's the greatest offensive player of all time. I think the best all round player of all time is Mario

@Keeboy96 3 месяца назад

You need to look at prime Mario Lemieux... Because of injuries and cancer he coudn't beat Gretzky records...He is the biggest "what if" in NHL history

If you dont watch hockey. He is the michael jordan/tom brady of hockey.

@Dylligraphy 3 месяца назад

He’s so much better than that though, those sports haven’t had a Gretzky. He’s like an NBA player with 60000 points or a QB with 120000 yards.

He's the Larry Bird of Hockey. They don't call him The Great One for nothing

@danielficarra2557 4 месяца назад

I wasn’t alive for this but I’ve seen plenty of highlights to know he was special. Paul Kariya and Teemu selanne please. Those guys were unbelievable Gretzky even praised em especially Paul he was on pace to be up there sadly with the 6 concussions he had to retire early forfeiting any chance.

@dannycarlow8204 3 месяца назад

I love me some Teemu. He's my second favorite player all time. I was 17 years old in Winnipeg for his rookie season. Went to a bunch of games.

Try looking up the value of his rookie card.

Gretzky was great, but Bobby Orr is the GOAT!

Oh, I know what U sayin

@Vancouverallday 3 месяца назад

Bobby Orr the real GOAT....he revolutionized the how dman should play.....not a dude that js stayed behind the net. How revolutionary that was🙄

@6ic6ic6ic 3 месяца назад

Delusional. Nobody changed the game more than Gretsky. Nobody came close to his records. Ppl who say Orr was the GOAT are huffing nostalgia copium. Its irrefutable that Gretsky was leagues beyond Orr both in impact on the progression of the game and performance within the game.

He definitely wasnt the most complete player for sure . He wasnt very good defensively and he was anything but a physical player . Still youre smiking your lunch if you think Wayne wasnt the greatest player ever .
