commentary...

scoring fifty goals in a season is a benchmark of the players,not many players achieve that feat... Corey Perry did it last night,with a hat trick... great feat,i may say,but Wayne Gretzky did it(50 goals,in 39 games),which is remarkable in its own way,but that season,he scored four goals,in his 38th game,to get to 45 goals,in 38 games,and people,around the NHL,said that he would get there shortly,thinking that he would get there somewhere near game 45,or so,to get 50,in 50 games... no one would believe that he would score another five goals,in game 39,which would shatter the 50 in 50 window that people thought about... Wayne Gretzky scored 92 goals,in 1981-1982,and scored an amazing 1,219 points,from 1981-1982,to 1986-1987,including four 200-point seasons... every season in that realm of six years,he scored over 180 points every season....
