Breaking Down Every Wayne Gretzky Record (there's a lot) 

That streak will.never be broken Mario got to 46. Wayne had 153 then got injured

Gretzky quite literally shaped how everyone plays hockey to this day. Its the kids who understand that every player is a modern day gretzky it just takes a lot more work and confidence in your game to stand out. McDavid is the prime example of standing out, I think McDavid is on par with Gretzky it is just harder to score on goalies in the modern day. How goalies played was very questionable until atleast the mid 90s imo.

You realize Gretzky barely ever got hit and never got in fights right???

There was a reason, Dave Semenko, Dave Hunter, Marty McSorely, etc. You touch Gretzky you paid a heavy price. @@seanhart9706

@@janzkee Why is it harder to score today? Didn't the players get better as the goalies got better? Players actually score at basically the same rate today as they did back then. There are just fewer goals because of the fewer number of powerplays today. Look at the powerplay goal percentage over the last few years, pretty much identical to the second half of the 80's. If we had 2-4 more powerplays in today's game, we would see scoring rise to 80's levels. Just like back then, today's goalies wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it.

​@seanhart9706 So....he would have even more space to work with. You know that's what he meant right?

Right? The game wasn't easier back then lol it was a bit different however. If Gretzky was starting today he would still end up the greatest

i gotta ride shohei on this one, gretzky was an amazing athlete but otani in 2020 was the best hitter and pitcher in baseball by a lot which is essentially him being the best forward as well as the best defender in hockey at the same time. to put on perspective, he wouldve won the mvp of the season if he was only a fielder or a pitcher seperatly but he did both which is just crazy. feel free to debate it tho im open to it.

@@LaSeSiS Shohei is amazing and has had incredible years but I'm talking about a full career.

@@HughJorgan1 thats a very fair point. i completely agree

also he was like a point per game at 38 in 1999 lmao

Thank you!

Probably one of his most impressive records.

He said that. Just some games he scored 4 or 5....

215 points.

Mario played with much better talent than people think he did. When you have to use the word "if", your case may not be very strong. Mario would never have scored as many points as Wayne if Mario played for those Oilers. The Oilers didn't get a lot of powerplays and the only way Mario could score big was because of the number of powerplays the Pens got. Mario had a limit to his scoring that Wayne didn't have.

🤣 Mario had more Hall of Famers playing with him than Gretzky did in Edmonton. Just because you repeat something you heard others say doesn't make it true. The year Gretz scored 92 goals, his wingers were Dave Lumley and Dave Semenko.

Lemieux's best season he never hit 200+ points
