What's he doing in South Korea?

Nailing Sarah Palin (or is that in North Korea?)

My favorite Gretzky moments were watching other guys beat some ass for him.

rule #1... you can't call "/thread" on your own post.


back to the birthday boy:

amazing thing about Gretzky... when he retired, he held 61 NHL records.
in the 12 years since, only ONE has been broken (assists in an All-star game).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAYNE GRETZKY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAYNE GRETZKY

He still has more assists than anyone else has total points, correct? I poke fun, but those Flames - Oilers playoff series during the 80's were tremendous.

/Happy birthday Wayne

its actually most career assists in overtime (regular season) ... Lidstrom ... understandable since there was no overtime in the first 4 years of his career and the rest of the eighties didnt see the Oil go to overtime very often since they were usually trouncing teams like the canucks 6-2 every night

There have been more than 13,000 NHL games played since Gretzky retired in 1999 and he's only surrendered one of his 61 records — Nicklas Lidstrom and a handful of others now have more career assists in overtime during the regular season, no doubt aided by the change to 4-on-4 for the tiebreaker and the fact a point is now awarded to the losing team.

"If you're going to be passed, you might as well be passed by a guy that's a great player and a Hall of Famer," Gretzky, gracious as ever, said of Lidstrom

Didn't he inherit another one from Mario too after Mario's comebacks?

I seem to recall hearing that Mario's PPG dropped with the comebacks, so Gretz inherited it.

Also, the All-Star assists record did fall, so I guess it's actually 2 of 61.
