Also if you compare the GPG average which was 1979-1992 around 6.97 OR MORE and put it to comparison with this era, you get the better picture, also check the goals Gretzky made, goaltenders were horrible, I think 50% of Gretzky's goals were slapshots from the blueline or something.

Well you certainly told me... Crosby has more athleticism than Gretzky. How could I possibly have missed that category when it comes to hockey greatness.
As far as gpg or ppg.. who cares. The real comparison is how they compare to the players of their own era. Gretzky was head and shoulders above everyone else (as shown by the number of awards and honors that he garnered) that he played with and against (with the exception of Lemieux for a couple of years). You can't say the same for Crosby, right now.
