More astonishing than Gretzys pro records are some of his records as a kid. For example, when Gretzky was 10 he scored 378 goals & 139 assists in one season with the Brantford Nadrofsky Steelers.
Another record that’ll almost surely never be broken is Lemieux scoring 5 goals 5 different ways in a game: power play, short handed, reg strength, penalty shot and empty net.
@@HughJorgan1 good point, that would be the only other way. But I agree, no one is ever touching that. 5 goals in a game all in different ways is insane
Henri Richard's 11 stanley cup will stand the test of time. Joe Malone's 44 goals in 20 games is another record that I think is unbreakable. It has stood for more than a hundred years now.
Martin Brodeur's 691 wins and 125 shutouts, Tony Esposito's 15 shutout rookie season, Tiger William's career penalty minutes record, Lemieux 5 goals 5 different ways, Sittler's 10 point night, Joe Malone's 7 goal night. Just to name a few.
Yvon Lambert set a record in 1981-82 I can never see being broken. In 1981-82, he scored 64 points (25 goals, 39 assists) in 77 games for the Buffalo Sabres. He spent the entire 1982-83 season in the minors, playing for the Rochester Americans of the AHL. Unless we see a fully canceled season again, the record for most points in a season by a player who would spend the entire following season in the minors will never be broken.
Lol those Gretzky records are mind boggling. 424 games to get 1000 points? smh I like going to Michael Jordan videos where he’s being lauded as “The greatest professional athlete ever” and remind people that no one is greater than Gretzky for records and stats.
In parts of the US hockey is like a 6th sport. That's why I couldn't stand ESPN taking the rights. A network that has bashed the sport and talks about Foosball 98% of the week
Babe Ruth. When he got 60, he had more homeruns than any other team... wasn't til 1961 whenhis homerun record was broken but not in the same amount of games so they put an asterisk... And still no player in any sport dominated a game as to dwarf all the other teams in production!
@@v4v819 It's hard to compare 140 years ago when a guy that had a beer gut and smoked cigars was the best athlete in the world. Baseball is also kind of more like golf if it was a team sport
I don’t know if this will NEVER be broken with the number of teams in the NHL nowadays, but Red Kelly has four Rings with Toronto, and Four Rings with Detroit. Four rings with two different teams seems like a difficult record to break.
One thing I hadn't thought of before is that Gretzky did it before video. Really shows how analytical he had to be to be that great of a decision maker without analyzing video. I remember seeing years ago some video where he talked about his father telling him as a small boy that is a thinking man's game or something along those lines. To be so open minded so long ago is really unherd of.
The three players who scored 1000 points in the fewest games are: Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Wayne Gretzky (for his second 1000 points). Let that sink in for a whlle.
Gretzky scored his 2nd 1000 points in 433 games. This was the 2nd fastest 1000 points (2nd only to himself when he scored his first 1000 points in 424 games).
The 1974-75 expansion Washington Capitals also set a record for fewest road wins in a season with….1! That will not be broken! After Wayne Gretzky set the record for most goals in a season with 92 in 1981-82 I felt strongly at the time that he would reach the 100 goal mark soon after.
There were two glaring records that were not mentioned. One is Darryl Sittler scoring ten points (6 goals and 4 assists) in one game. That record will never be broken. Even Gretzky and Lemieux could not tie or even break that record. The other one is Ian Turnbull scoring five goals in one game as a defenceman. Even Paul Coffey could not break that record.
Don Luce holds the record for the fastest 3 goals ever scored in Sabres history. A natural hat trick in 3:49. Record still stands since December of 1974.
GOAT doesn't really fit because of the "of all time" part, and although he is chasing some great records, I don't think he is better than McDavid. Only time will tell for sure.
Never say never, Brett Hull had 86 and Mario Leimeiuex had 85 , not far off. Connor McDavid had a Gretzky like season 64 goals and 89 assists last year so who knows?
Think about it, if McDavid had this same output in 2015 he would have won the scoring title with just his 89 assists!! Jamie Benn won it with 87 combined points. Sounds like a Gretzky/ Lemieux type performance.
@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 I wonder how many were actually goals vs empty nets ? I would say if Mario and Brett got more goals with a goaltender that 86 or 85 would be more impressive.
Mario Lemieux's 5 goals 5 ways! Even strength - easy, power play - easy, short handed - tough to do, penalty shot - almost unheard of, empty net - easy. Short handed goals are few and far between, but to get a short handed goal on the same night you get to take a penalty shot, and that the game is close enough that your opponent pulls their goalie = damn near impossible!!!!!!
Gretzky also hold the biggest humiliation in Canada hockey olympics. I will never forgive him to invite his friends and not the best for the highest hockey competition. That will be hard to beat.
Glenn Halls 502 straight starts is probably the most unbreakable record in sports history
George Hainsworth, 22 shutouts in 44 games.
Bill Mosienko's hat trick in twenty one seconds is likely never to be broken.
forgot Ken Doraty who holds the record for most overtime goals in one game (three)
How?

Empty net*
@@alexandregouin1568 Right! I’ve edited.
That will almost surely never be TIED, but it definitely won't be broken as I don't think there's another way to score a goal?
@@Kevinmac1120 Good point. An OT goal would be another way to score but the chances of that happening after an empty net goal is slim to none.
@@HughJorgan1 good point, that would be the only other way. But I agree, no one is ever touching that. 5 goals in a game all in different ways is insane
2 records come to my mind Darryl Sittler had 10 points in one game against the Bruins in 1976 and Bobby Orr's 139 points as a
defenseman in 70-71.
Did you ever listen to Sittler talk about what he had for pre game dinner??? Hilarious story !!!!

Can't believe there was NO mention of Dave Schultz's 472 penalty minutes in a season.
Everyones trying to forget that the NHL ever stooped to such mindless barbarism.
Tell me what records I left out!
The # of car batteries thrown into the ocean by Molly Meehan in 1 season of the CBL (Car Battery League)

691 regular season wins by Marty Brodeur. I don't think any goalie will ever come close to that number.

The New York Islanders hold the modern day record of most consecutive Finals appearances at 5.
Sorry Tampa 😢

also brad fast has the all time record for Game Tying Goals Per Game (one)
Larry Hillman, maybe best known for Torontos Hillman Hex, is the youngest player with his name on the cup. Cannot be beaten unless rules are changed.
Bruh… that goalie was 5’6 - 150lb 🤯😅 not surprised he conceded that many goals.
I beat all of Gretzkys…
In nhl 23
Lol
Wouldn’t mind seeing some teams break Winnipeg Jets 27 losses in a row. Set when ties were still allowed.
What about Darryl Sittler's ten point night? No other player not even Gretzky scored more than 8 in a single game.
Don Luce holds the record for the fastest 3 goals ever scored in Sabres history. A natural hat trick in 3:49. Record still stands since December of 1974.
4:47
What other sport has had a 10 time champ?
Montreal Canadiens 1976 season in which they only had 8 losses!
1976-77 season.
Ovi, the Active GOAT shows up everywhere.
GOAT doesn't really fit because of the "of all time" part, and although he is chasing some great records, I don't think he is better than McDavid. Only time will tell for sure.
I dont think we will ever see a goalie have more than 22 shutouts in one season
Another Gretzky-related record: Number of souls crushed when his move from Edmonton to L.A. was announced.
Nathan Gerbe holds the record for the fastest 2 goals scored in Sabres history. I believe that will never be broken. He scored two goals in 5 seconds.
Henri Richard with 11 cups as a player
Funny how goalies are better conditioned, wear lighter and more protective equipment, yet play less.
# 99-----the Record for Records! O V could get 895 goals but i think most of Gretz s are unbeatable
And! the Caps after that 8 win season---- someone grabbed a GARBAGE PAIL!! and the team did a parade around the ice ! Too bad no fones then !
I think some of the records could be broken but it probably doesn’t happen soon
Which ones?
@@HecticHockey I think some of the scoring ones, such as some getting to 50 goals quicker
I break them in my Be a pro career
I dont think Ovi will break his record. Goal production can drop off suddenly and it seems like Ovi is not immune either.
Connor Bedard just might break some of Gretzky records.
Oh really! Which one do you think he will break?

Brett Hull and Mario Lemieux came close but still did not tie or break it.
@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855 I wonder how many were actually goals vs empty nets ? I would say if Mario and Brett got more goals with a goaltender that 86 or 85 would be more impressive.
I can see one record broken
Goal 92 I can see broken
Longest 51 possibly broken
76 goals in a rookie season?
That’s Teemu Selanne for you
Mario Lemieux's 5 goals 5 ways! Even strength - easy, power play - easy, short handed - tough to do, penalty shot - almost unheard of, empty net - easy. Short handed goals are few and far between, but to get a short handed goal on the same night you get to take a penalty shot, and that the game is close enough that your opponent pulls their goalie = damn near impossible!!!!!!
What about the Islanders 5 straight Stanley cups appearances?
Montreal appeared 10 times in the finals from 1951-1960, he mentioned that.
Gretzky also hold the biggest humiliation in Canada hockey olympics. I will never forgive him to invite his friends and not the best for the highest hockey competition. That will be hard to beat.
