Around the NHL - 2025 Playoffs

Gretzky does still have 936 points more than #2 on the list, Jaromir Jagr.

936 points is the difference between #1 and #2... 936 points is a pretty darn good career by itself... our all-time points leader is Josi with 724. :eek2:

Sidney Crosby is the closest active player to Gretzky in points... a mere 1,180 behind. Soooooo... if Crosby could keep up his career average of 1.24684 ppg, he'd only need 11 and a half more full seasons to catch Gretzky. He turns 38 this summer, so he'll be 49.5 when he catches him. IF he doesn't slow down or miss any time.

Crazy stuff. But if Phil Kessel can be the NHL's Iron Man, who's to say what will one day be possible. :sarcasm:

Yeah and Gretzky's 215P in a single season will likely never be touched in the modern NHL. Closest in recent years was McDavid at 153P.
 
The goals record didn't surprise me much but they will need to completely change something for anyone to ever get close to total points.

I mean if Gretzky had concentrated on just scoring goals or had stayed in Edmonton, Ovi probably wouldn't have ever gotten close.

Crosby will likely retire #2 in points, about 900 behind Gretzky.

This column is Wayne Gretzky's season-by-season...

.... assists. He has more career assists than any other player has points.

I believe Kessel was usually among the top guys in physicals and he's not exactly a hitting type...or likely to receive them, so it's not really that surprising tbf 🤓 Good condition, not that much wear and tear = longevity
 
I’ve been on vacation all week and just read about the Nucks beating the Stars after being down 3 in the final minute and winning in OT. Holy shit!!! 😆 Stars
 
I'm still at a loss for how it was missed by the on ice officials. The puck very visibly enters the net even though it doesn't come back out.
I have to say, watching that game that Demidov kid sure looks like the Real Deal. I'm thinking the 3 teams picking after Celebrini are going to kick themselves a little over that one. He shouldn't have gone #5. :dunno: (it's just one game?)

And as much as it might hurt to say it, there is some fun talent on that Montreal team right now? Hutson is fun to watch too.

You don't love to see it, given how Habs posters are around here. Good thing they got Reinbacher instead of Michkov, at least. :naughty:

Habs fans are insufferable around these boards but they should have a decent team going forward. Sadly this will only embolden them to be more annoying
