To be dominant in today's NHL is very different from being dominant in the era of Gretzky.
People always reminisce about how 'Great' the game was back in the day. The battles of the 70s and the rivalries of the 80s!

Thats crap. A modern hockey fan probably couldnt sit through watching one of those games with their eyes taped open.

Its awful. Truly terrible stuff. I mean, in the first play on that video Gretzky circles around in place 3 times. If he tried that tomorrow against anyone he'd have been smoked so hard he wouldnt be able to find his eyeballs for a week.

When Gretzky set those records it was against plugs and slugs, Ovechkin is doing it against Elite athletes.
