Yeah, I just saw the highlights too. Funny thing is though:

#1: Gretzky - 2857 pts
#2: Messier - 1851 pts
#3: Howe - 1850 pts

Gretzky won't be touched.

Gretz has more assists (1963) than Mess has total points.

Gretzky will NEVER be touched until they finally crack down on obstruction, amongst other things.

Oh well, good job Moose!

IEatChildren - Gretzky doesn't have most goals or points in a single game...but there's not much else he doesn't have.

When i was a kid I HATED Gretzky, that was like sacrilege! :)

As I got older, and watched him more and some of his older rerung games, I realized just how good he was.
I gotta say I was all chocked up when he retired, he was/is one of the all time greatest athletes, let alone just in hockey, if you could convert his numbers I am sure he would be better than
Jordan, Shaq, Earnhardt, Beckham, Sanders or anyone else for that matter,

Mark Messier is a hockey legend, period. As a Red Wings fan, I can probably say that he is my favorite player never to play for Detroit.

One of the greatest moments in sports history... he guarantees to the media and fans that the Rangers will beat New Jersey in that game 6, then goes out and scores a hat trick. Unbelievable.

A NYR Player thread with 13 posts and no one ripped on my Rangers, yet. :D

I'm sure if this thread stays alive long enough it will turn into a flamefest, but for now I'll be happy. :p

Don't the Rags play him as a 4th line center nowadays? Amazing he's still got the legs to compete in the NHL. Congrats to him... I dislike Howe... so GOOD.
