He missed half a season when his goal totals were way down (11 goals in 48 games). So Gretzky would have lost what, 9 goals because of the lockout? Ovechkin probably lost 25-30 this year alone, and another 30-40 in his rookie season.
Also Phil Esposito scored 516 goals in 12 seasons after the age of 28 (barely playing the last season), so yes it has been done before.
