Gretzky isn't called 'The Great One' for nothing. Throughout his 20 year NHL career, Gretz broke 61 records, 58 that he still holds to this day. Absolutely insane.

Imagine Gretzky with todays technology, todays development and todays non hitting barely fighting league? I could only imagine how well he would do. He would still dominate.
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?
One of my favorite records is #39, longest point streak from start of season, because he averaged an even 3 points a game over those 51 games. Obscene.
That streak will.never be broken Mario got to 46. Wayne had 153 then got injured
I hate when people argue that the game was so much more relaxed in the ‘70s and ‘80s, so of course he dominated the game. Then I ask why don’t more players from that era have almost 3,000 regular season points like Gretz? The man knew the ins and outs of the game and ruled it.
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
Great video. I think Gretzky's statistical dominance makes him arguably the greatest professional athlete of all time.
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.
@@lasesis1249 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
Wayne Gretzky is a phenomenal player. I wouldn’t be shocked if Ovi gets the most goals but Gretzky for sure will always be remembered as the Great 99. He will be remembered as the best player in the NHL of all time.
He holds the record for most records. That's domination for you.
In 85-86 when Mario had 141 points and Wayne had 215, the Pens had 130 more powerplays than the Oilers.
Keep up the great content bro
Thank you!
thank u for saying that, i hate the argument that players today are better. who cares. it is about who was better in their era. what was in their control. Gretzky was by far the best player in his era, probably in any sport
also he was like a point per game at 38 in 1999 lmao
I think you might have missed one (there were a lot of numbers in this video :D ): Longest home point streak to start a season (40 in 88-89 when he had a point in every home game for the Kings). I only know this one because MacKinnon has a shot at tying or beating it this season (He has a point in all 35 home games thus far)
One of my favourite unofficial records is 8 consecutive Hart Trophies. Completely insane. Even more insane is it would have been 10 consecutive Harts if not for his 16 game injury in 1987/88.
theres also unofficial records for eg 200 point seasons
50 in 34 spanning two seasons having more 100 point seasons than mario on assists alone
2:46 - "... that does it for the regular season goal scoring records."
Probably one of his most impressive records.
Good back checker too, just sayin
50 in 39
It's quite simple once a player gaps.His peers by the same percentage.As Gretzky, then we can have that conversation.Until then, no one touches him.He's a thousand points ahead
4-200+ point seasons could still be standing in the year 2100-2200
he dominated starting in the late 70s. im sure in his mind, a lot of that domination was still in that decade.
212 in 74 235 82 game pace
50 goals in the first 39 games is the best one. That being said I, well we hated this guy when I was a kid.
213 points in 1 season. Mic drop!
215 points.
Gretzky actually has 50 regular season hat tricks in NHL history.
He said that. Just some games he scored 4 or 5....
You can’t compare Gretzkys 200 pt seasons to McDavids highest point season to date… that doesn’t even make sense
39
Yes, that player who is every bit as good as Gretzky is McDavid.
There are better "hockey players ", better skating, harder shots. Here's the thing, he had the best " Knack " for scoring than anybody, Ever.
Hate to make the like count go to 100, but... I'll do it anyway.
he stands no chance against my boy and be a pro
Mario was a much better player! and if he played with the talent around Gretzky had early in his career, he would be the great one. La Magnifique fits Mario, cause he just made defenceman & Goalies look silly.
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
50 goals in 39 games will never be touched. 🇨🇦🏒
