It's still incredible how far ahead Gretzky is compared to his counterparts. Gretzky had 122 playoff goals on top of the 894.
The stat that really got me was this:
-Gretzky scored his first 1,000 points faster (424 games) than any other player in NHL history, and scored a second 1,000 points (point number 1,001 through 2,000) faster (433 games) than any player other than himself.
And of all international players OVI is my favorite

Lemieux is next in 513 games, then Bossy (656) and Stastny (682). Obviously all really made their hay in the 80's, but the space between Gretz and Lemieux, then Lemieux and the rest is incredible.
There are 7 other guys from the 70's & 80's ahead of him, but Crosby at 757 is insanely impressive for this era (Ovy 880, Thornton 994; Malkin is on pace to get there before his 850th).
