I think a lot, if not most, of us saw it that way.
"Oh no, he's injured, well, better luck next season I guess...."
Nope. He is an absolute machine.
Even if he doesnt get it this season, he's likely going to get so close that next season is a lay-up and then after that...I hope he'll pad the lead.
Again, breaking this goal-scoring record, in the Modern NHL Era...its nothing short of a mid-level miracle.
If someone had told me 10 years ago that Gretzky's goal-scoring record would be broken in my lifetime I'd have laughed them out of the room.
