We may (it's early so heavy on the may) be witnessing just how hard touching Gretzky's scoring records actually is. We are talking 894 goals. That's scoring an average of 53 goals a season for 17 consecutive seasons or 60 for 15 seasons.
He only needs 72. But 72 goals after age 38?
Just try playing in the NHL for more than 12 seasons.
Jagr managed to do that pace. Actually Jagr managed that after the age of 40?!?
I still think there's a good chance he does it. I don't recall Ovechkin being an overly quick out of the gate at the start of the season guy, but I'm not sure the rest of the team is capable enough to give him a shot at a decent number this year.
