Jagr my GOAT:kobesalute:
Like the KingsI wish he'd go to a serious contender.
Bolded is why its actually easier to score today the rules help players on offense while back then it was harder to score and the game was much more smash mouth, defenders can't hit like Scott Stevens now but Gretzky was still beastin back then even wit the tougher rules and style of play. If he was playin in today's league he'd have even more points goaltendin ain't the reason for his numbers he was goin up against the greatest Goalies ever like Roy and Brodeur, and other greats like Lemieux and Messier were playin back then too and didn't have anywhere near the amount of points as Gretzky he was just on another level from other players past and present.The goaltending was also incredibly atrocious back then while it's at an all time high level now, which is why they're trying to make as many advantages possible to create more goals during the season. Players will never catch his point total because the game will never be the same as it was back then, there's a reason it's hard for players to get even 100 points these days and it's not the lack of talent.
