That's another thing about Gretzky that's always amazed me. Not only did he set a lot of records, but he reached a lot of amazing scoring totals multiple times in his career. He's the only NHL player ever to score 200 points in a season, for example, and he's done it FOUR TIMES.

Take away all 894 goals that Gretzky scored...and he’d still be the N.H.L all time leading scorer. Yikes. He transcended the game...greatest player of any team sport ever.
