Agreed.

Don't get me wrong, the Avs clearly picked up an amazing player, but these stats like point streaks for a right handed 18 year old don't really mean all that much, other than more re-assurance about what we already knew...........he's a special young player.

Opps, quoted the wrong post. Not bitterness on his part, it's just a stupid stat. Doesn't matter if it's Gretzky's or not. Call me when he breaks some of Gretzky's actual records that matter that aren't wittled down to the point of irrelevance due to precise birth date.
