... and Gretzky's are ludicrous. More assists than anyone else has points. Single-season numbers that no one could possibly reach in today's game. A Cup run in LA, for Christ's sake, without the same star power as the Edminton teams.

Jordan's numbers are amazing, but Gretzky's are video-game quality.

Think about this: Gretzky changed the way the game was played behind the net, and his creativity with the puck lead to unparalleled scoring numbers. So, a few years ago, what did the NHL try to do to increase scoring in today's game?

They increased the amount of room behind the nets.

I think that's a huge tip of the cap to the Great One. Plus, WG Hockey on the N64 was much sweeter than Bulls v. Blazers.
