If you divide Gretzkys in half you still get 5 100pt players that year!It’s happened a number of times. Penguins in 96 were the most recent.
Most a team has ever had is 4, I think, which has happened several times. Oilers in 84 were one Glenn Anderson point away from 5.

Gretzkys #s were just stupid good. 163 assists in a single season like wtf is that shit. How?
Just doesn’t make sense in my brain.Gretzkys #s were just stupid good. 163 assists in a single season like wtf is that shit. How?
Neither did I. Good for him! He’s been a solid steady player for a long time.Wow, I didn't realize Nuge had anywhere close to 96 points before I clicked this thread

Just a numbers game - coz you win as a team and lose as a ditto.
Remember that, Edmonton.
The top dogs can put up real huge points anyway they want - when the rest of the team are real losers.
Was it the same when Jari Kurri won his 5:th Stanley Cup and that without the great Gretzky?!The rule of thumb when playing with Gretzky was always "Don't worry about where he is. Keep your stick on the ice. He'll find you."
Nice.Penguins 95-96

The fact that team was infractioned to death by the Panthers was an embarassement to the sport. No penalties called. Penguins screwed up by going with Barrasso over Wregget too.Penguins 95-96

Rant is correct thoughThe fact that team was infractioned to death by the Panthers was an embarassement to the sport. No penalties called. Penguins screwed up by going with Barrasso over Wregget too.
We were left with one of the biggest mismatches in SCF history going in. We could have had a superstar series between Pens/Avs instead. Guaranteed that is no sweep.
Just ranting. Sorry.

Yep, you often hear people say that Gretzky's teammates were a large part of his success- stacked oilers team etc. Yeah his teammates were good but they benefited more from playing with him than he did from playing with them. he was essentially lapping his teammates. That year 84 he had 205 pts, 2nd best on team was Coffey with 126.Gretzkys #s were just stupid good. 163 assists in a single season like wtf is that shit. How?
Agreed. The 80's Oilers referred to as the Harlem Globetrotters or similar is an exaggeration. Often seen in one of many attempts to downplay Gretzky.Yep, you often hear people say that Gretzky's teammates were a large part of his success- stacked oilers team etc. Yeah his teammates were good but they benefited more from playing with him than he did from playing with them. he was essentially lapping his teammates. That year 84 he had 205 pts, 2nd best on team was Coffey with 126.
In 82 he had 212 points, Anderson was 2nd on Oilers with 105 less than 1/2 Gretzky's totals. That year Gretzky's assists only would have led the team in scoring at 120, His goals at 92 would have been 2nd in pts to andersons 105.
in 81 he had more than double the pts as second on the team too
