Scoring 92 and 200 points is very impressive, but if Gretzky was shooting those muffins on today's goalies no way he scores 92.

Yeah, because the best players in the 80s were working part time jobs.
As for Gretzky shooting muffins, you can't compare eras - the sticks are better, guys are stronger because the training is better, etc. etc.
You can only compare against others in a similar environment.
