What is the NHL record for consecutive games with points scored?

[Enigma]

That has no bearing on the number of goals scored. Cunt.

this

plommer is a cunt but I do share his hatred of shootouts

fukkin random way to decide a game

ties are better

crosby is crazy good but he won't break most of gretzky's records because the game has changed. If gretzky played today he wouldn't be averaging close to 3 points a game and the oilers sure as hell wouldn't be scoring 5 a game or whatever.

what is the 2nd longest streak?

Lemieux has the second spot but I believe Gretzky also holds the 3,4 & 5 spots with a few 40+ game point streaks.

Gretzky and Lemieux dominated the rest of the league by a wider margin than Crosby and Ovechkin today. They looked like ninjas on ice, especially Lemieux.

 

[Enigma]

true but I think part of that is the competition

Lemiuex was a monster though. Ridiculous what he could do. I bet he'd dominate in today's game as well.

things change in sports......... its stevek-ish evolution

for instance in baseball they recognize "modern" records for pitchers, for things like shut outs and complete games.


maybe there should be Modern records (after 1995 or somthing) for scoring in the NHL

we are in the post modern era here.....

 

[Matty]

Not a bad idea Arch.

 

[Archie]

its not like Mario and Wayne had their super talented "crews" in their days.....


we gotta account for Messier's and Coffey's ect....


Sid and Ovechkin run with some talented crews, but all things considered. I don't think they are THAT talented


the talent pool is diluted since 1988

 

[reno cool]

no way, the talent pool is great today. Guys have enormous skills. It's hard to see because the defensive strategies are so effective. Anyway, the best hockey is not played in the nhl.

Even I knew who Gretzky and Lemieux were back then and I didn't watch my first nhl game well into the 2000s.

They are just in another level like Maradona and Pele, Malcolm Marshall and Sachin Tendulkar, Jordan, Ayrton Senna etc

Correct. Giants. Superhuman.

 

[Matty]

Lemieux scored a goal on his first shot, during his first shift ever in the NHL.

 

[Archie]

Mario, and Jagr on the same team was fun to watch

 

[Enigma]

it was unfair is what it was

 

[Enigma]

I'm watching penguins/caps and they showed the top four pitt point streaks

super mario had the 46 and two in the high 20s, and crosby's current is in 4th in pitt history

 

[Enigma]

modern era (last 20 years) record is mats sundin with 30

 

[Enigma]

I think the fact that the great one saw his scoring affected as well proves it's more about the game changing than anything else.

gretzky played the last ten seasons of his career or so without a streak of over 25

he had those few ridiculous seasons where scoring was through the roof, and then his goals and assists dipped. still great, but not like what they were in that rare mid-'80s period. He had three straight seasons of over 200 points, a season of 183, and he never again even got to 169, averaging maybe 125 a season for the rest of his career.

 

[Matty]

Crosby is on pace for 137. Impressive.
