Will Gretzky’s 517 pts in 85 games in atom ever be broken?

Needs option 3, who cares?

And this poll has 11 votes after just 15 minutes? Seems awfully high to me. Odd.

Doubtful do high end players even play 70 games anymore?

 

[SpezDispenser]

Jfc, 282 in 70 games??

 

[BLNY]

Not without hockey going to 6 on 6 and no goalies.

 

[blundluntman]

Hypothetically yeah, practically? Probably not in my lifetime I’d imagine

Can't imagine so, no. He played in one of the highest scoring eras in hockey, and was one of the most talented players ever, while also having a physical advantage over most everyone else on the ice.

Suppose there were an NHL lockout in 15/16 and McDavid for some reason decides to play another season with the Otters instead of going to play literally anywhere else. He would have had to increase his P/G by 1.5 points per game compared to the previous season to eclipse Lemieux, while also playing 70 games. And he's probably the best player offensively since Lemieux.

Not only that but racking up points like that in junior just doesn't happen any more like it idt did in the Q that year or in that era, complete different dynamics in the league and in junior hockey back then.

As an aside Mario was very ordinary in the memorial cup that year and hockey futures been around some cranks would have been screaming bust no doubt.

Mario was the most individually dominant player ever, especially in junior. He could have gone back for two more junior years but came to the nhl and dominated there too. It’s incredible how he dominated junior as an 18 year old. His junior records for points in one year will never be broken.
Was it Ray Ferraro who scored over 100 goals one year in the WHL?
